13. LUXURY BRANDS
CONCLUSIONS
• Brand of the “Luxury” group use “Product as the hero” approach in
communication : every creative executions is built as a presentation
of a product;
• Brands RTB are mostly visual, based on their
appearance/image, visual style of the pictures;
• The most of brands look cold, melodramatic, superficial, stylized and
ostentatious. Dolche & Gabbana also looks whimsical.
• Non of the brands have vivid image, is full of human emotions or joy
of life. Everyone looks quite egoistic, like saying that its owner will
dominate among others who don’t belong to the owners.

20. CONNOISSEURSHIP BRANDS
CONCLUSIONS
• All brands of the group are built on Expertise but differ on the level
of creative approach from each other:
• “Product is the hero” is used also, but opposite to “Luxury” brands,
the product itself is used as the brand’s RTB. Its design, pack and
qualities assist to deliver proofs of Expertise within the segment/or
category;
• “Expert/opinion leader endorsement” is used by brands which are
not able to visualize their RTB directly. Branded image of an experts
is the RTB for a brand.
• Brands which use “Product as the hero” look noble and stylish, but
don’t deliver much of emotions.
• Brand which use “Expert endorsement” have noble image too, but
also deliver joy of life and emotions because of people images.
22. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
• “Luxury” brands dominate in Russian market of upmarket brands.
Main reason for this is the lack of consumer culture because of fast
development of the market in a shot period of time (in about a
decade) which led to:
• Many consumers aren’t much experienced with such brands: many
of them are newcomers who consume such products rarely;
• Many consumer perceive luxury in “old money” way:
expensive, exclusive, add status of its owner, appreciated by others;
• Many consumers think that if a brand is upmarket one it must be
well-know, easy-recognizable and appreciated in this way by many
people;
• Many consumers understand quality of super-premium brand as the
mix of price and premium/up-scale image, don’t take in account
heritage or products uniqueness;
23. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
(cont.)
• “Luxury” brands are oriented for wide group of consumers
thus more advertised and more know; and because of this
there are a lot of fakes in the market that also aims awareness
growth.
• Another reason for this domination is Russian consumers’
perception of super-presumes in the Oriental way as the sigh
of Power.
We assume that it prevents development of New Luxury and
growth of consumers’ connoisseurship, because consumers do
care about brand appearance and status more than about it’s
quality and consumption features;
24. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS
(cont.)
• We can assume that brands from the rest two groups are
more demanded by consumers who:
• Either joined the super-premium segment at the beginning of its
development and got enough experience by today. These are
more people who have a fortune and had been consumed super-
premium brand a decade at least.
• Or positioned themselves as unique/independent personalities
who settle but not follow the mainstream trends. These are more
the new-bourgeoisie or well-paid yuppie who are open-
minded, free from social conventions, very self-confidence and
can pay for their choice.
