Our task was to launch the Pizza Hut x IKEA meatball pizza – a taste sensation featuring IKEA’s iconic Swedish meatballs as a topping. We needed to get tongues wagging online and drive sales. As just one of Pizza Hut’s many LTO promotions throughout the year, we were working on a limited budget – so our strategy was to create an idea that would combine both brands in a way that naturally grabbed people’s attention, was sharable online and generated demand for the product.

We combined the DNA of both brands to create the SÄVA, a flat-pack table inspired by the pizza ‘savers’ found in pizza boxes – only available to a lucky few who purchased the new pizza. Our campaign launched on Facebook and Instagram, the places our mass target audience spend most of their time online.

We created the SÄVA, a flat-pack table inspired by the pizza ‘savers’ found in pizza boxes – but only available to a lucky few who purchased the new pizza. To add to the fun, each SÄVA was also delivered in a giant pizza box featuring IKEA-style step-by-step assembly infographics.

The SÄVA campaign went viral online, getting local and global coverage with +1 billion impressions, +18 million views, plus 45,000 social interactions. More importantly, it boosted sales for the Pizza Hut x IKEA meatball pizza +86% over forecasts.
