Richard Beskow, a Creative & Partner at Åkestam Holst NoA recently shared an interesting anecdote on his social media feed. He recounted a project where his agency was tasked with launching a loyalty program for IKEA Sweden. Given that loyalty programs with points are quite common these days, they decided to embrace the 'better late than never' approach. Instead of pretending IKEA was the first to the game, they leaned into the fact that they were a bit late to the party. The campaign playfully featured a series of now-defunct viral trends, such as the Bottle Flip, Harlem Shake, and Mannequin Challenge. These trends, while outdated, perfectly encapsulated IKEA's late entry into the loyalty program market in a humorous and engaging way. This unconventional approach not only acknowledged IKEA's late arrival but also injected a dose of self-deprecating humor into the campaign, making it memorable and relatable.

How brands are winning big by being #relatable 👀 The recent Eurobest Awards announced IKEA’s ‘Life is Not an IKEA Catalogue’ campaign success in winning Bronze Eurobest Award in Print and Publishing. The campaign, launched last year, humorously captured the chaotic reality of home life, resonating deeply with Norwegian consumers. By showcasing relatable, everyday moments with their durable and cost-friendly products, IKEA created a long-lasting impact with their consumers to normalise how ‘life is not an IKEA catalogue’. 📈 The impact? Sales soared, smashing IKEA's goal by 102%. The unconventional ad caught national headlines which fostered public support. This is a masterclass in how relatable, responsible marketing doesn’t just connect, it drives massive growth. It's great to see IKEA continue to address real consumer concerns, with the latest ads that appeared on London's Tube network. This time the focus was on the UK's cost of living crisis, whereby they spotlighted how they "design their price first" to appeal to the budget savvy audience. #ResponsibleMarketing #BusinessGrowth #SustainableBusiness

An interesting story on how Ikea spotted a revenue opportunity and increased revenue from existing customer footfalls, later getting more footfalls because of this new "offering". In terms of strategy, would you call this a brand extension? Revenue generation by fulfilling a customer need under the same overall brand umbrella. Or is it an unrelated business diversification? There is an opportunity to spin off Swedish Restaurants (the brand for eats) as a separate business? #Strategy #branding #brandstrategy #businessofbrands
