Inter IKEA Group gathers its global marketing and communication unit to reach more people
To continue to develop and strengthen the core capability for common marketing communication content, solutions and services, Inter IKEA Group is exploring how to bring the various marketing and communication capabilities from the core businesses closer together in a new common entity called IKEA Marketing & Communication AB, located in Älmhult. The ambition is to have the new structure in place by latest 1 September 2021.
Erika Intiso will be the Managing Director of IKEA Marketing & Communication AB. In her role Erika will report to the chairman of the board, Konrad Grüss, Managing Director at Inter IKEA Systems B.V.
Erika Intiso, Managing Director, Marketing & Communication AB: “The overall ambition of gathering the global marketing and communication capabilities, is to better meet the customer behaviours and needs of today and tomorrow. We want to be the “go to destination” for people who seek inspiration around life at home, regardless of their choice of channels and platforms, and this movement will unleash several potentials for us and how we develop future common marketing and communication content for our products and solutions.”
Life at home is more important than ever, and so is the need for impactful marketing communication content, personalisation, market relevance as well as experiences.
All, vital aspects for the future success and growth of IKEA, and these concrete changes aims to accelerate the journey for IKEA to become an even more curious and innovative brand that reaches, engages and interacts with more of the many, across all touchpoints, in all existing and future IKEA markets.
