The save passing a kidney stone can be more painful than child birth. It turns out, it’s also a pain for urologists to get rid of them. The tools they were used to were huge, clunky, loud, power-hungry, imprecise laser. Soltive was developed by Olympus to upend the entire market, making it the “iPhone” in a world of dial phones. We teased urologists who immediately recognized that whatever was under this blanket, was about to change everything.
We discovered in our B2Me research that urologists generally have a good sense of humor (probably a mandatory trait in that line of business). In an industry where the vast majority of advertising shows a gigantic product shot, instead, our teaser campaign took another approach.
Other executions of the ongoing campaign used in print, social and digital.
The original plan was to show Soltive in person at key industry events. Then came covid-19, which had other plans.

As in all our projects, a mobile first approach means the site is a greatly simplified experience. We have a simple test at White Rhino to determine if the mobile version is up to par: can a user access all important interactions with just one thumb while holding the phone? Yes!
In the future we are planning a fun, virtual reality experience. By spoofing a first-person, “Asteroids-like” game, surgeons will be able to “try out” the product but have some competitive fun at the same time.
