Philosophy
Desire and projection are the foundations of luxury. As the sector transitions from regionalised artisanal houses to a global mega-industry, the same investment in amplifying product perception must be made to project a leadership voice.
For brands and their shareholders to build authority, a cohesive message must be communicated to media, investors, government, the markets and competitors. Communications should extend beyond product and P&L to include market entry, clienteling, business direction, supply chain, investments and more. Shifting global narratives means that leaders must be ready to react with authority, ensuring and maintaining share of voice between planned impulses.
We work with the world’s most celebrated luxury brands to create potent proactive and reactive communications. We develop senior spokespeople to speak fluently in the luxury sector and the evolving requirements of a demanding and elusive client base. This has staked brands and investors’ leadership position, driving industry-defining share-of-voice and commercial growth.
