How it spread

Trace the origin

IKEA Singapore presented its paper catalogue as an Apple-style launch. The film ran with newspaper, radio, cinema and outdoor support. A creator portfolio preserves PR mailers; contemporary reporting described a planned XXL edition for fans and contests.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak. Dates use the stated precision; chart positions are date anchors.
