IKEA - THE PHONE SLEEP COLLECTION

GETTING PEOPLE TO PUT DOWN THE ULTIMATE SLEEP-KILLER…THEIR SCREENS

THE INSIGHT

Let’s face it. The UAE is a “hustle-and-bustle” type of city where people strive to get to the top…even if it costs them their sleep routines. In fact, people in the UAE tend to rank “poor sleep” among their top lifestyle frustrations. Yet, the biggest killer of sleep isn’t the car horns by your building, the work stress, or the lack of greenery. It’s their screens. Our phones have become the last thing we touch before we get some shut eye and the first thing we reach for when we wake up. Research within IKEA showed that the nation’s sleep score sits only slightly above the global average. Not good enough.

Awareness was high so people didn’t need more advice. They needed a fun away to disconnect.

THE IDEA

We introduced the IKEA Phone Sleep Collection. A new miniature line of IKEA-style beds designed not for humans, but for your phones. We turned the sleep routine into a fun, witty ritual with a campaign that gamifies the act of “putting your phone to bed”. Each mini-bed is equipped with NFC technology that tracks how long a phone stays tucked in through the IKEA app. When users let their phones “sleep” for seven hours a night, for seven consecutive nights, they earn an IKEA voucher.

A fun way to get you to stop doom-scrolling and really start fun-sleeping.

THE ROLLOUT

The campaign launched across the UAE with a dedicated way to pick up the bed. Customers needed to spend a certain amount at IKEA including purchasing one Complete Sleep collection item to receive the Phone-Bed.
