After completing renovations to two Washington DC stores in November 2008, IKEA was faced with the question of how to get people interested in its news. With just over $500k, IKEA strategically designed its efforts to coincide with the height of pre-inauguration fever and take advantage of concentrated media presence. IKEA demonstrated the benefits of 'embracing change' with the President as inspiration and illustration. The campaign generated 500 million free media impressions in DC and across the world.
