Marketing headhunters and interim marketing recruiters, tml Partners, have supported Optegra, a vision correction business and pioneer in eye healthcare, in their recent appointment. Optegra are proud to have first class surgeons and state of the art technology and operating facilities.
Peter Byloos, CEO of Optegra, was approached by tml Partners to help appoint an interim Marketing Director. The key deliverable for the role was to create a future-facing strategy specifically focusing on the customer journey and acquisition of new clients.
Founded in 2007, Optegra have grown to be one of the leading private vision correction providers in the UK. They operate a premium service across 9 sites in the UK, offering several vision correction solutions to private patients.
They enjoyed rapid growth throughout the pandemic years, however, laser eye treatment is a one-time only purchase; hence Optegra are constantly seeking ways to attract and recruit new customers. The treatment is regarded as a considered investment and patients take their time in committing to treatment as a result.
After an intense but productive search, Peter Bush and the team at tml Partners were able to deliver a shortlist of 6 known candidates within 3 days of the initial briefing and Optegra were delighted to have made an offer the following week. The successful candidate was James O’Shea, who had a background in both brand and digital marketing, notably having previous experience with private patient healthcare as the Marketing Director for The Harley Medical Group for a number of years.
James commented:
“tml approached me about the role, which I happily secured in a very short time. The team were a great support throughout the recruitment process, providing a full brief ahead of the interview, they listened to my questions and needs and kept me up to date at all times throughout the process. I would be happy to recommend tml Partners to anyone looking to make their next career move in Marketing”
