IKEA has arrived

25 10 2008

Driving along the M50 today it was clear to see the dominating force that is IKEA has arrived in Dublin.  Although its opening date is still a great distance away, its’ building has already made a stamp on the Dublin landscape.  Its bold illuminated letters already ozzes on confidence and authority that IKEA has already established in other countires.  I can’t wait for the store to open and look forward seeing some of the advertising tatics they will adopt.  Have a look of some of their past campaigns for an idea of what we are to expect as the opening date approached, perhaps with a more localised touch.

I came across this video on the Bloom Advertising Blog. The Ad was created by Ogilvy New York for the Environmental Defense Fund.

The Ad was inspired by subway istallation pieces by Joshua Allen Haris, in New York.

Here are some more examples of his amazing work.

And an interview with the man himself. Enjoy.
