Evil Eye

Evil Eye, an Austrian performance eyewear brand, is a leader in high-tech sports sunglasses, but its branding and messaging were deeply rooted in European markets. Watson developed a North American market strategy, ensuring the brand’s unique value proposition resonated with U.S. athletes in cycling, running, and outdoor sports.
