Or when Phillip Diolé said “ The sea is an underwater museum still awaiting its visitors” because the ocean holds mysteries to be discovered, miracles to be witnessed and life to billions and trillions of life. In this vast ocean, beautiful creature

Buy With Your Time
Ikea’s campaign “Buy with your time” was a creative idea that was primarily inspired by the philosophical quote “time is money”. The main idea of this program was to treat the time taken to arrive at the store as currency to buy things. So, for example, if a customer took an hour to go to IKEA, and they showed evidence of that using the Google Maps Timeline data to prove the drive time. The cashiers would then convert the time taken to arrive into Dubai Dirhams as the campaig
