# Alien Abduction Ads Leagas Delaney Creates Eye-Opening Ads for Lexum European Eye Clinic By Chalaine Mantha | Published 2011-03-10 | Marketing Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leagas-delaney References: [adsoftheworld](http://adsoftheworld.com/media/print/lexum_european_eye_clinic_octopus) & [leagasdelaney.cz](http://www.leagasdelaney.cz/) As someone who has to wear contacts or glasses all the time, I can really relate to this Leagas Delaney advertisement created for the Lexum European Eye Clinic. The ads state “Who wouldn’t like to see more? Laser eye surgery can change your life in a single moment.” The images depicted feature a big white sheet over half of the picture which really helps to get the message across. Under the sheets lay mysterious sights such as aliens and enormous octopuses. I think that the Leagas Delaney advertising agency was bang-on in this advertisement and it definitely has me thinking about laser eye surgery! The graphics are really well done, which also helps to get the message across and grab people’s attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Print](https://www.trendhunter.com/print) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Laser Eye Surgery Advertising:** Using eye-catching graphics and relatable messaging can change viewer perspectives on laser eye surgery. - **Creative Medical Advertising:** Creating medically-themed advertisements with unconventional imagery can be an effective way to connect with viewers. - **Alternative Healthcare Messaging:** Focusing on the life-changing benefits of healthcare procedures, such as laser eye surgery, can attract potential patients. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** The creative use of imagery and messaging in advertising can disrupt and engage viewers. - **Healthcare:** Alternative healthcare messaging and advertising can open new markets and attract a wider range of patients. - **Medical Technology:** Promoting medical technologies and procedures can disrupt traditional healthcare models and offer patients more options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Illusory Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-artwork.md) - [Gamified Eyecare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-odyssey.md) - [Playful Billboard Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreamies-treats.md) - [Smart Glasses-Compatible Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-meta-smart-glasses.md) - [Drug-Themed April Fool's Gags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innocean-berlin.md) - [Playful Creative Design Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-billboards.md) - [science-backed eye relief campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/its-a-science.md) - [Dynamic CGI Mascara Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maybelline-new-york.md) - [Color Blindness-Exclusive Billboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessibility-adapter.md)
