The 25-minute ASMR video from Ogilvy in New York - called “Oddly Ikea” – is part of the latest campaign spruiking the furniture giants back to school products for college dorms.

Triggers of ASMR include listening to a softly spoken voice and repetitive every day sounds from someone completing a mundane task, like turning the page of a book. Or, in Ikea’s case, the sound of someone making a bed.
Ogilvy’s creative director Della Mathew and Ikea external communications specialist Kerri Homsher told Adweek: “We were shooting a back-to-college TV spot and wanted to extend it into online content.
