Basic description of the project: The Challenge.
The task was to advertise the IKEA Assembly Service with an unusual idea that motivated IKEA customers and fans to book it.
The Strategy.
We turned a lack of do-it-yourself skills into artistic talent! This let us communicate our message with a twinkle in the eye rather than by pointing a lecturing finger.
The Solution.
An integrated campaign in which wrongly assembled IKEA furniture was showcased as sculptures. Depending on whether the target group consisted of customers before, during or after the purchase of IKEA furniture, we used different media channels to bring our message closer to them.
