Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

If there was anybody capable of filling our streets back with chairs, that would be Ikea. In order to save one of the most important spanish traditions IKEA created the platform "SAVE LA FRESCA" We designed a special edition chair. A chair inspired by those that were traditionally used for "la fresca", and with a message that invited people to continue enjoying this wonderful habit. We sent scores of chairs to the media and bloggers, who quickly picked up the story. We travelled around the streets of Spain's main cities, awarding everyone who still kept this tradition alive with a new chair. We launched a viral video that invited people to join this movement. And we built a campaign with one goal: to continue enjoying our character, our climate and our FRESCA .
