Local Eye Site Goes Global

Camilla Calhoun, Account Manager at Local Eye Site , recalls her week-long trip to Eastern Europe

Who says you can’t always get what you want?

The Rolling Stones were right about a lot of things, but in this case, I tend to disagree.

Thursday afternoon, before AAO’s Annual meeting in Chicago, I hesitantly walked into Brad’s office with a huge smile on my face and a cup of Ice Dream behind my back (Chick-fil-A’s heavenly version of vanilla ice cream). Pure bribery was about to take place.

The way to a man’s heart? His stomach. If I wanted to have the following week off to trek across Eastern Europe last minute, first step was a “selfless” gift. It worked… but it took a little more than a tasty treat.

How could I enjoy an impulsive get-a-way and keep the boss happy? Carry Local Eye Site with me!

For a whole week, Local Eye Site and I went global. Together we took pictures in front of city landmarks, optical shops and tourist destinations across Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany. We stopped strangers on the street to share Local Eye Site and in turn asked them to say a few words about the site.

I returned stateside with great memories, pictures, videos, lack of sleep and new international facebook friends. Local Eye Site’s own Marketing Associate, Molly Gluck, has put some of the footage and photos together to share with you. Enjoy!
