Smith Optics

Zeroing in on the full experience.

SMITH ChromaPop™ lens technology recalibrated the outdoor eyewear space when it was introduced a decade ago. Ultra-refined lens coatings tuned into unique bands of the spectrum reveal incredible fidelity, color, and contrast in a range of different conditions and environments. The result not only brings greater precision but a more immersive experience, allowing athletes to zero in on the terrain in front of them. As SMITH continued to refine the technology and expand its applications, they needed a fresh and intuitive way to highlight the benefits across products and categories. Cinco partnered to help revitalize the technology stories with a holistic branding strategy, tagline, signature, and versatile campaign system to take SMITH’s premier eyewear technology and storytelling to the next level of perception.
