Ikea: Silence the Critics by Mother
- Location:
In Ikea’s first-ever UK Christmas ad, a family is taunted by their bar-spitting kitsch ornaments, who encourage them to defy ‘home shame.’
Tapping into contemporary culture, the ad flies the flag for Grime music that has recently made a resurgence by entering into mainstream music for the first time. And who better to have on board than an artist that Skepta hailed as “the greatest grime MC of all time” – D Double E, who voices the gimcrack ornaments.
The campaign will launch with the film across broadcast and VOD TV, cinema and digital media. The 90-, 60- and 20-second edits are fully supported with out-of-home, press, CRM and PR.
