La-Z-Boy, renowned for its world-leading recliners, launched its first ever above-the-line campaign in the UK, aiming to expand its audience beyond the traditional stereotype.
The campaign, “Connoisseurs of Comfort”, focused on the emotional experience of purchasing a sofa, highlighting the comfort of moments spent with loved ones—lazy Sundays, nights in with a glass of wine, and playtime with kids. It featured unlikely experts in comfort, such as Mr. Caesar, an Irish setter with a PhD in relaxation, and the movie-watching Clarke family, masters of durability and quality control. The nationwide campaign included TV, press, and paid online ads, positioning La-Z-Boy as a brand that blends emotional appeal with practicality in an otherwise function-driven category.
