IKEA: The ghost

IKEA, a furniture and homeware brand, increased awareness of domestic violence across the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary by launching a short horror movie featuring a ghost to show that domestic abuse is there even if it's not always visible.

Objectives

  1. Make Czechs, Slovaks and Hungarians aware of domestic violence
  2. Within a limited budget (significantly lower than IKEA commercial campaigns), reach at least 50 % of the public to raise awareness & decrease acceptance of domestic violence.

  3. Inspire victims to seek help
  4. Increase search queries, victim's help requests to NGOs.

  5. Positive change in region
  6. To create public demand and pressure on the legislative system and politicians to change the legislation in favour of victims.

Long-term objective: Make home a safe place for the many by 2022.

We’re long-term subscribers to WARC and it’s a tool we use extensively.

In compiling a recent case for long-term, sustained investment in brand, we were able to support key marketing principles with numerous case studies sourced from WARC. It helped bring what could have been a relatively dry deck to life with recognisable brand successes from across a broad number of categories. It’s incredibly efficient to have such a wealth of insight in one place.
