The New Strategic Brand Management

Vincent Bastien

The Luxury Strategy, written by two world experts on the subject, provides the first rigorous blueprint for the effective management of luxury brands and companies at the highest level. It rationalizes those business models that have achieved profitability and unveils the original methods that were used to transform small family businesses such as Ferrari, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Chanel, Armani, Gucci, and Ralph Lauren into profitable global brands. By defining the differences between premium and luxury brands and products, analysing the nature of true luxury brands and turning established marketing 'rules' upside down, it has established itself as the definitive work on the essence of a luxury brand strategy. This fully revised second edition of The Luxury Strategy explores the diversity of meanings of 'luxury' across different markets. It also now includes a section on marketing and selling luxury goods online and the impact of social networks and digital developments, cementing its position as the authority on luxury strategy.

Break the Rules of Marketing to Build Luxury Brands

The Luxury Strategy

Véritable ouvrage de référence sur la stratégie de luxe, Luxe oblige en rappelle les fondamentaux et définit ce qu'est réellement une politique de luxe. Il clarifie le concept de luxe, le distinguant en particulier de ceux de mode ou de haut de gamme qui impliquent des stratégies différentes. Business modèle singulier, le luxe commande de respecter des règles contraires à celles du marketing classique. Luxe oblige puise ses bonnes pratiques dans l'expérience des auteurs et leur analyse de la réussite des marques de luxe les plus profitables. Il montre aussi comment une stratégie de luxe peut s'appliquer très efficacement bien au-delà du secteur traditionnel du luxe. Depuis la première édition, il y a eu la crise, la Chine, les BRIC, les réseaux sociaux, l'impératif du développement durable... C'est pourquoi cette édition : complète et approfondit les anti-lois du marketing ; montre pourquoi il ne suffit pas, pour être luxe, de faire du super premium ou de faire de la mode chère ; compare la problématique du luxe dans les pays à forte croissance - Chine, Russie, Brésil, Inde - à celle des pays mâtures ; pose la question de l'usage raisonné d'Internet et des réseaux sociaux par le luxe, s'il ne veut pas perdre sa spécificité ; aborde le défi du développement durable ; pose la question de l'émergence des nouvelles marques de luxe ailleurs qu'en Occident. Riche d'informations les plus récentes, traduit des Etats-Unis à la Chine, Luxe Oblige confirme son statut de livre de référence sur le Luxe.

New Approaches to Creating and Evaluating Brand Equity

Strategic Brand Management

Jamais le luxe n'a été confronté à des challenges aussi existentiels qu'aujourd'hui. Il en sortira nécessairement transformé. Premier challenge, celui du succès, le tsunami de la demande mondiale de luxe : comment alors concilier croissance et rareté ? Les stratégies de rareté abondante et l'artification du luxe montrent la voie. Challenge des nouvelles technologies et leurs extraordinaires potentialités expérientielles pour un secteur qui fonde son storytelling sur l'héritage, l'artisanat. Or les clients du luxe, chinois et millenials, ont eux totalement intégré les innovations technologiques et le digital dans leur vie, et fait le succès des challengers qui les portent. Challenge du développement durable : comment intégrer cet impératif dans la chaîne de valeur des marques de luxe ? Cela redéfinit la conception même du luxe. Challenge de la mondialisation qui conduit des entreprises de luxe jusqu'ici indépendantes à entrer dans des groupes. Comment alors préserver leur identité tout en bénéficiant des synergies de groupe ? Avec quelle gouvernance ? Challenge de la Chine, enfin, par sa population hyper connectée, sa soif de nouveauté, de mode et de statut. Sans négliger les marques de luxe chinoises qui émergent déjà dans tous les secteurs. L'ouvrage aborde, sous un angle nouveau, ces défis du luxe et se penche sur leurs conséquences pour le management des entreprises et groupes du luxe aujourd'hui, ainsi que sur la gouvernance de ces groupes multimarques. L'enjeu est de défendre l'écart entre le luxe et ceux qui veulent lui ressembler.

Are the 'classical' rules of brand management obsolete? These rules were created over 50 years ago in the United States under very different market conditions and realities. Since then, textbooks and current thinking have been replete with the same simplistic models of branding, which are looking incresingly out of date.
