Communicating from Business to Consumer back to Business (B2C2B)
Essilor is the largest manufacturer of ophthalmic lenses in the world. Based in Paris, the EssilorLuxottica group had revenues of €14.4 billion in 2020. With an R&D presence in three continents, Essilor is at the cutting edge of innovation: its Varilux brand was the world’s first lens to allow for clear near, intermediate and far vision. One of the main objectives of the group’s digital transformation is to communicate its branding and health message more clearly to the millions of people who wear its products.
The project to bring the fragmented European market under the umbrella of a cohesive Essilor brand and SEO was an ambitious one, yet its largest markets went live on Ibexa DXP, just a few months after project kick-off. Content, design and marketing campaigns can now be deployed across the European market very easily, even for teams with small or non-existent digital teams.
The user-friendliness of Ibexa DXP also ensured that the country lists of partnered opticians could be built and amended quickly. The personalization functionalities nurture the marketing and educational touchpoints of a customer journey that is often complex and extended.
