Why is this work relevant for Direct?

Historically at IKEA there are special sections with products for kids and for adults. But what about NO LONGER KIDS BUT NOT ADULTS YET. They have already their own thoughts, needs. IKEA decided to give in the hands of NO LONGER KIDS (teens) a new product launch. For the first time IKEA will create a new section only for teens. We asked teens to help to create this section on ikea.ru “NO LONGER KIDS ROOM”. Teens should choose the products relevant only for them.

Please tell us about the social behaviour and / or cultural insights that inspired your campaign

Parents always know what is better for their kids. It’s general rules and kids are ready to listen for parent’s advice. Even if we are talking about kid’s room and how it should look like. This is how it’s considered to be in Russia. And unfortunately, not only here. But what about NO LONGER KIDS BUT NOT ADULTS YET (teens). They are from 12 to 16 years old. They have already their own thoughts, emotions, needs and parents couldn’t understand them correctly at this age. IKEA decided to give a voice to NO LONGER KIDS BUT NOT ADULTS YET and for the first time in IKEA history we created a section with IKEA products only for NO LONGER KIDS (teens).
