opti 2025
Curtain up for the new
WE ARE opti 2024/2025 campaign
WE ARE opti stands for collaborative design, for the meeting place of the optical industry, for passion and a clear commitment: together we create, together we change, together we are opti! Industry representatives were selected for the faces of the campaign to convey this message and reflect the diversity of the industry to the outside world.
Following the great success of the opti Faces for opti 2024, the WE ARE opti campaign 2024/2025 is entering its second round: Curtain up for the new brand ambassadors! Three women, three men, six personalities from the optical industry lend their faces to opti 2025.
‘We have found a wonderful mix of strong personalities who are all passionate about their optical work, their industry and their favourite trade show, opti! Strong personalities for a strong community! Look forward with us to the beaming faces that will accompany us from now until opti 2025.
With the further development of the WE ARE opti campaign 2024/2025, we want to express the unique atmosphere and further strengthen the sense of community within the optical industry – even outside the exhibition halls.’
