About

During 3 enriching years as a strategy, marketing & communications consultant, I have developed extensive expertise in the luxury sector and its challenges through numerous missions and business proposals for fashion, watchmaking, jewelry, hospitality and beauty Houses. I notably have refined an approach to insights that combines forward-looking/foresight analysis, economic and socio-cultural trends and concrete business impacts. Passionate about the luxury sector, understanding its clients and its transformative dynamics, I am currently looking for opportunities where I can put my expertise to work for ambitious players in this industry. Examples of missions I could work on: - Analysing and monitoring sectoral and socio-cultural trends - Writing comprehensive foresight reports - Advising on brand strategy and positioning - Developing strategic & business recommendations based on the analysis of insights & customer data - Carrying out qualitative and quantitative marketing research (building questionnaires, analysing data, synthesising insights) - Designing and leading strategy and innovation workshops for management teams The skills I would bring you: - In-depth expertise of the luxury sector and its current challenges (Image management and increasing of perceived value, customer experience, digitalisation & web3, sustainable development, international development) - Strong analytical skills and a methodical approach to project management - A knowledge of research methodologies - The ability to summarise complex data (studies & data, trends, weak signals) - Excellent writing and presentation skills in French and English - An extended intellectual curiosity that drives me to continuously explore emerging consumer behaviors, cultural shifts, and market transformations - Aesthetic sens, appeal for all forms of arts #Luxury #Luxe #Consulting #StrategyConsultant #Insights #ConsumerInsights #MarketInsights #MarketResearch #Prospective #Foresight #ConsumerTrends #LuxuryBranding #Image #FashionMarketing #BeautyIndustry #Watchmaking #Jewelry #LuxuryHospitality
