CONCEPT PROJECT

H&M HOME

Unsolicited concept. Not affiliated with H&M.

THE ASK

How do we target Gen Z? And how do we position H&M Home as the go-to home decor shop for this age-group?

BACKGROUND

H&M Home is launching its first mass brand awareness campaign.

THE BRIEF

H&M Home interior with a blue sofa, pink throw and framed wall art.

H&M Home offers a large selection of top quality interior design and decorations. So shoppers can find the right accessories for their home online or in-store.

THE TARGET

Gen-Z is multifaceted and entrepreneurial. While creative and ready to live on their own, their budget is limited.

We interviewed Gen-Z on their current living situations >>

20-Year-Old Maddie

“It's hard to decorate, because it isn't really my house. It's my roommate's. But when I have a place of my own, I'll make it look more like me.”

19-Year-Old Matt

“I’m pretty limited in what I can ‘decorate.’ It’s not really my house. I’m stuck with what I have in my room.”

Dorm Roomies

“I have so many ideas and such little space!”

TENSION

They want to decorate their space; make it their own. They want to show their interests & personality, but one thing stands in the way:

Roommates sharing a living space, with one playing an acoustic guitar.

PROBLEM

sharing spaces leads to compromise. “the only space I have is my room.”

INSIGHT

A bedroom is for sleeping, But your room is a canvas.
