We decided to buy up all the ad space on popular sleep playlists for babies on Spotify and create a series of ads that matched the tone of the tracks in the playlist. We created eleven ads, each with unique SFX like whitenoise, raindrops, and ocean waves, so as not to wake the baby. All the while, a soothing, whispered VO from IKEA's longtime Swedish spokesperson for the past 17 years, Jonas, delivered our sleep message.
