In the bustling homes of India, where every corner tells a story and every shelf holds memories, the challenge of managing clutter is as persistent as it is universal. Recognizing this ubiquitous struggle, IKEA has unveiled a series of brand films that bring a fresh and humorous perspective to the art of organization.
A Playful Approach to Organizing
Embarking on a mission to tackle clutter, IKEA’s campaign transforms ordinary household objects into characters embroiled in relatable dilemmas of disorganization. Through three distinct scenarios—featuring a wardrobe, a shoe cabinet, and a kitchen cabinet—these films turn the spotlight on IKEA’s smart storage solutions in action.
One film playfully narrates a conversation between two belts and a tie, humorously highlighting the potential “trench” the tie could fall into due to the lack of space. Another depicts a shoe cabinet as a cramped train compartment, where footwear jostles for room, mirroring the chaos of cluttered spaces. The third brings a kitchen scenario to life, where snack packs and cutlery stands engage in familial banter, underscoring the need for orderly storage.
Breathing Life into Everyday Objects
This imaginative campaign leverages personification to resonate with viewers, transforming inanimate items into characters with whom audiences can relate. IKEA’s innovative narrative not only entertains but also vividly illustrates the transformative impact of its storage solutions on everyday life.
Anna Ohlin, IKEA India’s Country Marketing Manager, emphasizes the emotional connection people have with their homes. “Our Life at Home report indicates a significant portion of Indians find comfort in an organized home. This campaign celebrates organizing as a joyous occasion, reiterating our commitment to offering affordable, innovative solutions to reclaim and enjoy one’s living space,” she explains.

Echoing this sentiment, Pravin Sutar, Head of Creative at Leo Burnett Orchard, adds, “The essence of drama is chaos, and this campaign creatively dramatizes the common disarray in Indian homes, positioning IKEA’s solutions as the heroes of organization.”
A Multi-Platform Celebration of Organized Living
Dubbed “Organising Is Awesome,” the campaign spans television, digital platforms, outdoor, and print media, ensuring widespread reach. This strategic choice reflects IKEA’s dedication to making organized living an accessible and enjoyable reality for everyone.
By weaving humor into the narrative of organization, IKEA not only addresses a common household challenge but also positions itself as a brand that understands the cultural nuances and daily lives of its Indian consumers. Through these engaging stories, IKEA invites everyone to experience the satisfaction and joy of an organized home.
