Starting situation
Optical Cowboy is a group optometric reference in Gijón. He was born in 1961 in the hands of Alfonso García Vaquero, who along with their children, opens the 5 points that make up the group today.
A prestigious company, always focused on the innovation and new technologies, specialized training of their workers, and a deal with the customer focused on getting the maximum satisfaction.
These objectives were the same as those pursued by the group Multiópticas who founded together with several partners, although these values were diluting with time under a directive interested only in profits.
Cowboy is forced to leave the group Multiópticas to keep their values, this leads him to create a new identity from scratch, that should compete with the powerful franchise that coexist in the market of the optics.
