Singapore – Ikea has started a hilarious, pun-filled social media campaign responding to homemaking questions from customers in Singapore and Malaysia.
Headlining the campaign is a “Shelf Help Guru” named Fille Güte, helping a couple sort out home problems with Ikea products in a video titled “Improve your private life.”
The guru then went to the Ikea Singapore and Ikea Malaysia Facebook page, starting a thread to answer queries on ways to improve their bedroom and bathroom with punny memes and a link to a product on the Ikea website that might solve the problem. This is accompanied by contest where participants in the thread get the chance to win an RM80 or S$50 Ikea Gift Card.
Ikea has a knack with comical campaigns. One of the most memorable is “Bookbook” last September which takes a jab at Apple’s over-the-top ads. Interestingly, the blond-haired Jörgen Eghammer, also known as Chief Design Guru, in that campaign is the same guy playing as Fille Güte.
The campaign was done by BBH Singapore and Malysia.
