Case Study

Seeing Clearly to a New Name for Eye Lenses

Issue:

One of the nation’s leading disability insurance provider wanted to test a potential major change to their online marketing strategy and receive feedback on two print advertisements.

Approach:

Blackstone Group developed a study that involved three components:

  • Utilized Namecraft™, the Blackstone Group’s proprietary name generation methodology, to create a list of possible brand names;
  • Used Chimeric to test the names during focus group sessions across the United States among:
    • Optometrists
    • Opticians
    • U.S. consumers
  • Foreign-born consumers who had retained contact with the cultures and languages of their countries of origin
  • Conducted quantitative testing among professionals and consumers in the United States, Europe and Asia to create a short list of names.

Results:

Identified a name that supported the client’s plans for multilevel marketing and an international roll-out. After the product received FDA approval, the Blackstone Group went on to recruit for and manage clinical trials among multiple patient subgroups.
