IKEA

Armwrestling, Dishwashing, Making Out

Agency: Åkestam Holst

Description

How do you get a young audience on Youtube to stay with your ad longer than the unavoidable 5 sec? When most brands try hard to seduce people Ikea did the exact opposite. We begged them NOT to watch the up to 8 minutes long films since there’s nothing to see except for boring, everyday life. With this reversed psychology we made the target group “18-35 year olds in metro areas” want to keep watching, spending time with the brand and the offerings on Ikea products. The average viewing rate was 3:15 minutes, far above industry standard. 39% even watched the whole ads.

This professional campaign titled 'Armwrestling, Dishwashing, Making Out' was published in Sweden in September, 2017. It was created for the brand: IKEA, by ad agency: Åkestam Holst. This Digital medium campaign is related to the Retail Services industry and contains 6 media assets. It was submitted over 5 years ago.
