Marcus Engman new Chief Creative Officer for Ingka Group

Marcus Engman will take on the role as Chief Creative Officer for Ingka Group, starting 1 November. He has extensive experience from working within IKEA, as Communication and Interior Manager, Marketing Manager and recently as Head of Design. Since two years back, he also runs a conscious street wear brand and the creative collective SKEWED.

“I’m really looking forward to this new role – to be part of the journey to revolutionise retail and show that IKEA not only plays an important role in peoples life at home, but also in their neighbourhoods. I can’t wait to get started and to meet and share some great (and maybe some not so great!) ideas with IKEA customers and co-workers into the future,” said Marcus.
