The IKEA Sleepeasy NYC Experience- a Nudawn Marketing Group Elevation
In the bustling SoHo district of NYC, a unique event unfolded that captured the imaginations of over 10,000 attendees. The IKEA Sleepeasy Experience, hosted from August 8 to 18, 2024, was more than an event - it was a revelation in experiential marketing, brought to life by the collaborative genius of IKEA and Nudawn Marketing Group teams.







IKEA N.A., renowned for its innovative ready-to-assemble furniture and home essentials, aimed to create an immersive activation. The goal was to highlight the six sleep essentials-comfort, light, temperature, sound, air quality, and decluttering - in a way that was both educational and engaging. Nudawn was brought on board to transform this vision into a reality, ensuring every aspect of the event was meticulously planned and executed.
Our approach was holistic, focusing on creating an atmosphere that was both interactive and enjoyable. Partnering closely with IKEA’s marketing and PR teams, we crafted a pop-up event that reinvented the speakeasy concept with a playful twist. From securing the best in class for on-site staffing, catering, and security to curating top-tier entertainment, every detail was handled with precision. The event featured everything from silent discos and Latin lounges to tea dance parties and engaging children's activities, all designed to create the perfect vibe for an unforgettable experience. Our meticulous planning extended to every corner of the event, ensuring that the security, maintenance, and catering services were top-notch, aligning with the high standards expected at such a premier event.
The activation site was a hidden gem, tucked away behind the facade of a Swedish bodega. Inside, visitors were treated to a multi-level exhibit where each floor brought the sleep essentials to life in vibrant, interactive displays. Renowned DJs set the musical backdrop, complementing the unique experiences such as sleep tea-infused dance parties and interactive children's zones. Our meticulous planning extended to every corner of the event, ensuring that the entertainment , security, maintenance, and catering services were top-notch, aligning with the high standards expected at such a premier event.
The results were nothing short of spectacular. The IKEA Sleepeasy Experience drew crowds far beyond expectations, with visitor numbers topping 10,000 over the two weeks. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees expressing their appreciation for the high-quality execution and the innovative way the sleep essentials were presented. This event exceeded the expectations of both IKEA and the event-goers, solidifying Nudawn Marketing Group's reputation for delivering exceptional events that resonate deeply with attendees.
