Ikea Canada recently launched a campaign for the release of its 2010 catalogue, which features this TV spot developed by Zig. The effort uses the tagline, ‘Any Space Can Be Beautiful,’ which will be laced into Ikea’s future marketing, and marks the first time the company has directly connected a slogan to the launch of a new catalogue. People with ugly rooms can also visit a microsite and upload pictures of spaces in need of beautification. We doubt that it will actually involve an exploding box of post-its.
