The future of marketing and luxury branding

Marketing is becoming increasingly complex, shaped by emerging technologies, methods and practices. As the face of the digital landscape continues to change, so do the marketing practices of customer behaviour, data analytics, brand management, communication methods, platforms and user experiences, leading to a new suite of digital competencies. The luxury industry has undergone major changes over the past two decades. Varying economic trends, rapid digital transformation and evolving consumer preferences are creating a new competitive landscape, which is challenging the traditional corporate strategies. Advancements in online marketing and an increase in the use of digital media for product marketing and customer-centred initiatives are the key factors contributing to the growth of the global luxury goods industry.
