Bausch & Lomb kicks off Alaway ad campaign

MADISON, N.J. Bausch & Lomb on Wednesday launched its advertising campaign for Alaway, the 12-hour eye itch relief drops.

The campaign targets allergy sufferers using the slogan: “It’s not just your allergies, It’s your eyes.” The ads highlight that consumers don’t need to wait for systemic allergy medications to take effect before they can get relief for their itchy eyes.

The 15- and 30-second ads are airing during such shows as “America’s Got Talent,” “Law and Order” and “30 Rock.” They also aired during the recent “Miss Universe” and “Primetime Emmy Awards.” The Alaway commercials also are running on morning news and talk shows, game shows, soap operas and entertainment news productions.

The U.S. television ad campaign will run through September. The brand also will be supported in store with shelf talkers, feature ads, pharmacist displays, free-standing inserts and doctor detailing.

B&L developed the creative strategy with agencies Grey NY and Ionic Media.
