IKEA AdzzZZzz | 🌙 Al-Futtaim IKEA & Memac Ogilvy’s Sleep-Inducing Ads for IKEA’s Bedding Collection IKEA’s latest campaign, "IKEA AdzzZZzz", created by Memac Ogilvy, is a prime example of creative advertising that does more than sell a product. This campaign, which aired in Oman, Qatar, and the UAE, takes a unique approach: it aims to put viewers to sleep by using the contagious power of yawning. In this ad, the soothing visuals of cozy bedrooms paired with a calm narrator—who eventually succumbs to yawning—create a relaxed mood that makes viewers want to dive into bed under IKEA’s soft bedding. Even the timing of the ads is strategically planned, airing during moments when people are naturally most tired. This clever use of psychology transforms a simple bedding promotion into an immersive, sleep-inducing experience. Ad Campaign Analysis From an analytical standpoint, IKEA’s campaign stands out for its use of psychology and timing, which are key elements of effective advertising. By airing the ads at night, early in the morning, and during the afternoon energy slump, the campaign aligns perfectly with the audience’s natural rhythms. Moreover, the yawn reflex tactic creates a sensory connection with the product, making it more memorable. The focus on human behavior—yawning—turns the campaign into a fun, interactive experience, increasing the ad’s impact and engagement. By associating their bedding collection with comfort and sleep in such a direct way, IKEA successfully strengthens its brand position in the home goods market. It’s a brilliant example of how creativity and timing can come together to enhance both emotional engagement and brand recall.
