In a world where eyeglass manufacturers can sometimes seem indistinguishable, Caddis Eyewear stands out. Like the best brands, the company isn’t just selling glasses; they’re empowering individuals to adopt a whole new attitude about life—one that is staunchly anti-ageist. They challenge conventional thinking and inspire customers to see their eyeglasses as more than just a vision aid but as a reflection of their unique personality and spirit.
Let’s take a look at how Caddis uses witty and playful brand copywriting to set themselves apart from the pack—and encourage their audience to do the same.
Challenging the status quo.
Great brands bring fresh language to familiar concepts. For instance, throughout the Caddis website, the term “eye appliances” pops up like a delightful surprise. “Welcome to Caddis. We make eye appliances. Stick with us.” By redefining conventional eyewear, Caddis rejects the mundane and invites readers to be part of something different.
But “eye appliances’ ‘ is just the tip of the iceberg. Proudly labeling themselves as an “anti-aging brand,” Caddis takes a stand against the stereotypes of getting older. “We want to have an open and frank conversation with you about how absolutely right on it is to be the age we are, right here and now.” They boldly call “bullshit on 50 is the new 40, on the whole fountain of youth illusion, on the many industries that are profiting on vanity and fear of age, on the concept of ‘aging gracefully’ and on the notion of raging against the dying of the light.”
With a refreshing, candid, and humorous tone, Caddis speaks fearlessly to readers: “Here’s the thing. We know we’re calling our readers old. And that’s because we think you can handle it. And honestly, most of you are.” Caddis isn’t here to coddle or sugarcoat; they embrace their audacious approach, empowering readers to embrace their age with pride and defy the conventions that often come with it.
Bringing others into the fold.
Figuring out what you stand for is only part of the branding challenge—the other part is enticing people to come on board. Through unique phrases such as “eyeballs are our business” and “these look good on everyone with a face,” Caddis conveys a fun, fearless personality that positively oozes leadership—and invites others to follow along.
Along those lines, Caddis takes every opportunity to create a sense of community. Just take a look at their unique call to action, “Join the cult. Subscribe to our newsletter.” It’s a playful nod to the fact that Caddis is a different type of eyewear company: when you put on a pair of Caddis eye appliances, you’re not just accessorizing your face; you’re joining a movement of visionary individuals who challenge the status quo and embrace individuality.
