Luxury is entering its social era.

Despite the cost of living crisis, the sales of luxury goods and experiences are on the rise, projected to reach £1.2trn in sales revenue this year, which is up 21% from 2021.

Surprisingly, Gen-Z and Millennial consumers are the dominant buyers, now accounting for 72% of the global luxury market.

And we're seeing this shift play out online. Luxury content is currently dominating our social feeds and even inspiring social creative; a bolthole for creativity and connection, some luxury brands are leaning into this untapped market, meeting their newfound consumers where they spend a lot of their time.

But social can be chaos; between TikTok trends, creators, and the current need for authenticity, it's hard to know where a luxury brand fits in. How do they balance accessibility while still retaining their luxury status? How do they maintain high-quality perception in a lo-fi world?

Check out our deep-dive where we explore the new codes of modern luxury.

We'll discuss:

  • What luxury craft looks like on social, including how to approach lo-fi production.
  • The importance of creators, communities, and cross-channel strategies.
  • How luxury brands balance accessibility and aspiration online.
  • Best-in-class luxury brands in action.
