Al-Futtaim IKEA recently launched a heartwarming campaign, cheekily titled 'Proudly Second Best,' that celebrates the special bond between parents and children. Highlighting everyday parenting moments, the campaign humorously acknowledges that despite IKEA's top-notch children's products like the ANTILOP high chair, nothing quite surpasses the comfort and care provided by a parent's embrace.
The campaign features relatable scenes of parenting, such as a child sleeping on their mother's chest and a father feeding their child at the dining table, showcasing the beauty in these ordinary yet precious moments. Alongside the ANTILOP high chair, other IKEA's Proudly Second Best campaign also calls attention to the BOLMEN step stool and the SMÅGÖRA cot.
Al-Futtaim IKEA is the franchisee operating IKEA stores in the UAE, Qatar, Egypt and Oman.
