Communication goals: - Get a wide response on newsworthy launch of the project; - Enhance emotional connection with the brand; - Build an awareness that IKEA has solutions for every family. Solution: In IKEA store across the country and on the web site of the project IKEA Russia interviewed kids to tell interesting stories about their families. The favourite kid's writer Grigory Oster inspired by the most amazing and wrote novels about them. The strangest and unusual families were invited to photo shooting in ideal recreated interiors made by IKEA designers. For example, family of “Vampirovy” (who like being in a dark rooms, whom IKEA can offer dark furniture and textile), “Zooparkovy”, “Bakevy“,“Coachevy” participated in our project.

In IKEA every family can find solutions for interior design, which meets exactly their needs. To prove this we asked kids to tell us stories about their families because only kids can sincerely tell about their families, its talents and hobbies. Based on the stories of the most interesting and unusual families we wrote a book. These families were invited to photo shooting in the most appropriate IKEA interior. For example, family who prefer spend their free time at home got: the name “Coachevy” short story about themselves, photo shooting in the interior full of coaches and interesting ideas for having a rest. Every family, even the most unique ones, could find an interesting interior solutions and that was illustrated in the book in fascinating manner.
