BBH Asia Pacific launches ‘Make Space Better’ campaign for 2014 IKEA catalogue launch
BBH Asia Pacific has launched a campaign for IKEA in conjunction with the Swedish furniture retailer’s 2014 catalogue launch.
The TV, print, outdoor and social media campaign surrounds the brand proposition of “Make Space Better” and offers up the solution of making the most of space constraints by using the right kind of furniture.
The campaign has launched across both the Singapore and Malaysian markets.
Said Christina Chong, Managing Partner, BBH Asia Pacific: “Space constraint is an increasing reality for us. But instead of focusing on the problem of needing more space, this campaign offers the simple solution of making space better with furniture solutions.”
Said Scott McClelland, Executive Creative Director, BBH Asia Pacific: “As housing gets more expensive and ever smaller, we wanted to capture how it felt for multigenerational families living on top of each other and the relief that can come with better and smarter use of space.”
Said Irene Lau, Regional Marketing Manager, Ikano Retail Asia: “IKEA has always had a mission to “Make Space Better”. The 2014 catalogue will hopefully inspire home owners in Singapore and Malaysia to create better space with the right furniture that is both affordable and stylish.”

Have we seen these before 10 years ago? I’m afraid the answer is Yes. Exaggeration in advertising is getting so tired now.
Darn…this just took ikea back 10 years…so basic and rational.
First BBH mocked the low fertility rate of Singaporeans, then they mocked the jobs they do, now about the sizes of their homes.
While humor is subjective, the common passive aggressive mocking undertone isn’t.
Sir John H made excellent ads without the need to use negative stereotypes and less flattering realities to make brands succeed and be loved.
Give it a try.
Actually the work done for Ikea 10 years ago by Lowe was pretty good.
The dog spot won at Cannes.
So saying it took Ikea 10 years back isn’t true.
Those were the glory days.
This ad just shows how fall they have fallen.
