ÓPTICAS MANZANO — Optical Shop Brand & Omnichannel Growth

Ópticas Manzano was a traditional optical shop with decades of expertise in vision care, but their brand felt outdated and disconnected from modern consumers. Despite quality service and premium eyewear selection, they struggled with brand recognition and digital presence in an increasingly competitive market dominated by online retailers and chain stores.
Our mission:
- Transform an aging optical brand into a contemporary vision care destination
- Build a strong digital presence that drives both online engagement and in-store visits
- Create a visual identity that balances medical expertise with fashion-forward appeal
- Develop social media strategies that educate, engage, and convert local customers
The Strategy
Ópticas Manzano needed to evolve from a clinical service provider to a lifestyle brand that makes vision care aspirational. We focused on humanizing eye care while maintaining professional credibility.
Key strategy elements:
- Modern Visual Identity
Developed a clean, sophisticated brand system using optical-inspired geometry, warm professional colors, and contemporary typography that appeals to all age demographics while maintaining medical trust signals. - Educational Content Marketing
Created a content strategy focused on eye health education, style guidance, and behind-the-scenes expertise. Positioned the optometrists as trusted advisors rather than just service providers. - Social Media Ecosystem
Built Instagram and Facebook presence showcasing frame styling, eye health tips, customer transformations, and the human side of the practice. Developed location-based targeting for community engagement. - Digital-Physical Integration
Designed cohesive experiences connecting social media discovery to in-store consultations. Created appointment booking funnels and virtual try-on content that drives foot traffic.
