IKEA Malaysia: New Store Opening Drives 22,000 First-Day Visitors
IKEA Malaysia
22,000 first-day visitors
4.4M drive-time impressions
#1 opening day in Malaysian IKEA history
The Challenge
IKEA Malaysia needed to generate awareness and excitement for the opening of their new Batu Kawan store in Penang, targeting Penangites and northern corridor residents unfamiliar with the brand's expansion north.
The Solution
Six weeks of phased highway and expressway billboard placements on the North-South Expressway and Penang Bridge approaches, transitioning from teaser creative to grand opening CTAs in the final week.
The Results
22,000 first-day visitors
4.4M drive-time impressions
#1 opening day in Malaysian IKEA history
"Highway OOH was the only media channel that could intercept every car driving north toward Penang. The phased teaser-to-reveal creative built genuine anticipation across the region."
