IKEA The Co-Worker on Roblox

The Project

IKEA UK sought to stand out and attract new talent in the UK’s competitive labor market. In order to do so we created the game IKEA The Co-Worker, where people were paid to work for the digital IKEA store to showcase the job opportunities and careers progression within IKEA. The project was a huge award wining success, winning the first ever Cannes Lion for Roblox.

The Work

As Creative Strategist I was responsible for realizing, conceptualizing and translating the concept into a Roblox game.
