Home solutions brand Ikea has launched a festive campaign in India themed ‘All Things Festive’.
Set to a peppy ‘We Feel New’ number, the ads showcase existing home elements celebrating the arrival of new additions – a Persbol chair and Ingatorp table. The films capture the excitement of the surrounding decor as they groove to the song and say they feel new with the new arrival. The films end with a surprised member of the family expressing delight at the new arrival.
“At Ikea India, we aim to connect with our consumers on a deeper, meaningful level. The ‘All Things Festive’ campaign is a celebration of India’s festive spirit and highlights how little additions to a space add so much comfort, beauty and happiness. Through these unique narratives, rooted in human emotion, we intend to truly bring our brand closer to our customers”, said Anna Ohlin, Country Marketing Manager, Ikea India, on the launch of these campaigns.
Pravin Sutar, Head of Creative, Leo Burnett, added, “The build up to Diwali can be pretty overwhelming for people. All that you see brands say is, “Buy more, buy a lot… The more you buy, the happier you are, etc. Just buy, buy, buy!” This narrative didn’t quite fit into the Ikea scheme of things – and our vision towards sustainability. We flipped the entire festive narrative and designed a campaign that’s about buying less. ‘A little Ikea makes everything new.’ An idea that celebrates the power of Ikea design, and how it can light up a room with less. All this while keeping a fresh way to tell the story as well.”
The campaign will run on broadcast and across digital channels.
