IKEA unveils a playful new campaign dubbed Don't Worry, You Can Afford It, which is a humorous approach to the realities of being a pet owner. The visuals showcase pet accidents and the main advantage of the company's products, which is its affordability. The campaign sees cats and dogs with a "tipped-over CHIAFRÖN plant pot, a scattered FÄRGRIK mug, a not-so-fluffy KÄRLEKSGRÄS cushion, and a toppled STILREN vase."
These create a realistic scenario that reminds families of the average accidents at home, and how replacing the items is a very feasible solution. This campaign aligns with the brand's mission of creating a better lifestyle for consumers including their furry friends.
Tobias Ahrens, Global CCO of INGO Hamburg, which is the agency behind the campaign, speaks about the ad. “We are excited about this campaign, which, on one hand, brings the unskippable cuteness of pets, and on the other hand, challenges marketing conventions by showing the products damaged. An honest story that refreshes the usual IKEA price communication style.”
