Results and Effectiveness

A total of 4285 applications were received, 450% above client objectives, resulting in 100% of openings filled (280 placements).

Creative Execution

A GPS-enabled mobile billboard drove around neighbouring suburbs and relayed Google Maps data to a display screen, constantly updating the time and walking distance to the new store. Through this single execution, each potential candidate was given a highly personalized, compelling motivation to consider a career at IKEA.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

In 2011 IKEA will open a new store in Springvale, Australia. Thousands of applications were sought to fill job openings within the new super store. With a limited budget, we decided to use localized outdoor to focus on the benefit of living so close to work.
