About the winner: Fer el dia a dia meravellós quan el món va canviar qualsevol cosa menys

IKEA is a household name, popular within the culture, and with a long record of creative marketing, but back in 2013, a different story was emerging. Sales were flat, penetration declined and IKEA was looking out of step. The Wonderful Everyday has been a central pillar to the rejuvenation of the business, growing sales, arresting the penetration decline, and growing ROI despite increasing budgets to deliver profit. After the first four years were entered into Sustained Success in 2018, the platform not only remains in full health, it’s matured; it delivered its highest revenue return in its 10th year.
