A transmedia customer acquisition campaign for IKEA, created by our team acting as a creative agency - POCO Communications - pitching to the marketing department of IKEA. This creative pitch was done for the Copywriting class in the Master in Visual and Digital Media at IE School of Human Sciences and Technology. We proposed a campaign to get Spanish people from the ages of 20 to 55, who currently believe IKEA products to be always the same, to visit IKEA stores more frequently, by changing their perception of the brand and mobilizing them.

6. CLIENT
CHALLENGES

7. The Challenges IKEA Faces
Consumers perceive
IKEA as repetitive and
have the impression that
products do not
change over time.

8. The Challenges IKEA Faces
Stores are located far
outside the city
center, keeping people
from visiting them
without a need to buy

9. The Target Audience
Customer stop buying
IKEA products for
themselves after the
age of 34.

11. The Target Audience
But: They still buy
furniture for they’re
children!
Thus: Target group split
into youth (age 20 – 34)
who buy furniture
themselves and parents
(age 35 – 55) who buy
furniture for their children.

12. Communication Objective is to
Change Consumer Perception
I will only go to the
IKEA store if I have
to, because if I don’t
go frequently I won’t
miss anything.
Current Do
IKEA is as a brand
that is always the
same and doesn’t
change its products
Current Belief
In IKEA there’s always
something new. If you
come to one of our stores
you won’t be bored or
disappointed as each visit
is a unique experience.
Customer Proposition
I believe, IKEA
products change
frequently and there
is always something
new in the store.
Desired Belief
I go to IKEA
frequently, because I
enjoy the experience
and always discover
something new.
