The Campaign

Big Brother is Israel's most-watched program with over 34 percent ratings. This year we have decided that it's not enough for IKEA to publish as a sponsorship or at the program's commercial break, so we did something a little different… Compared to past years where contestants were given a completely furnished house, this year the Big Brother's house was waiting for them inside IKEA boxes. The contestants had to reveal the cases of the furniture already at the first mission to the season' where they assembled the furniture on their own.

The Cooperative Content of IKEA and the Big brother show, proved to be successful. Using paid media as funny sponsorship bumpers, content marketing, hard sale spots, An innovative digital and mobile domain, an accurately targeted Facebook promotion, and a 3D virtual tour of the Big Brother House, brought great results: The virtual tour of the Big Brother House received over 200,000 visits, with 3 minutes average viewing time, and a quarter of a million clicks intended to receive details of the Big Brother furniture. o reached 160% of the target in terms of unique users o Mako- Keshet's – Israel's leading broadcaster –flagship content platform- reached 7,,246,,23 exposures- 134% of campaign goals o Mobile banners reached 131% exposures Earned media: ?
