IKEA's Genius Campaign, "Wherever Life Goes"

This campaign is so genius; IKEA has such a strong brand that they don't even need to showcase a single product to effectively promote themselves. This campaign is especially striking because it leans into how IKEA's products are inherently woven into one's life, and I am no exception:

As a military brat, IKEA was one of the few constants in my childhood defined by constant change. In any state (or country) over many years, my family always found comfort and reliability in IKEA.

As my love for art and design grew more articulated, the simple and always-innovative Nordic style of IKEA excited me. Now, as a creative professional, I draw increased inspiration from their strategic media and choose to continue furnishing my adult life with the brand I've grown up with.

This campaign silently reinforces IKEA's effective simplicity and I will absolutely be taking notes.
