The Campaign

How to communicate sustainability? Bu making the communication sustainable itself. We invited 21 famous street artist to express their idea of sustainability using a special paint that, through light energy and air humidity, attacks and neutralizes polluting agents. We also organized and event in all ikea stores, where the artists customer some ikea furnishings with the special paint. In the stores people participated to workshops and seminars dedicated to sustainability.

Campaign Success

We describe a special paint that, through light energy and air humidity, attacks and neutralizes polluting agents. Then we invited ikea to bring back colour in the streets of our biggest home: the planet. In the beginning of may 2016 we organized a sustainable street art event. To promote it we created a social campaign that included: posts, images, a viral video and landing page where people could appreciate the style of each artist and were invited to admire the artworks and participate to the event in all ikea stores. The event took place in the beginning of June.

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

The work communicates everyday the ikea's role in promoting a lifestyle that respects the environment. It has also brought people to partecipate to the event dedicated to the sustainability in all ikea stores, where they discovered and appreciated the sustainable ikea products. During the event ikea sold +186% of sustainable products and the number of clients in store has increased by 10%.

We think that people must care about sustainability in their everyday life. That's why we communicate a sustainable message using the most visible and accessible communication channel: street art. To promote the event we used: - 19 urban walls - radio commercials - viral video web - banner and social campaign - landing page
