So what is “Beyond Reason” exactly?
The appeal of a luxury brand often defies reason. And as WPP’s integrated luxury boutique, our job is to unwrap the critical mix of allure, status, rarity and mystery in the desire one feels for a product. We call that “beyond reason”.
Gestures over words
The way a luxury brand breathes and behaves is far more impactful in today’s world than what a brand tells you through language. We have an absolute love of the written word, but when it comes to getting into the heart of a consumer, actions speak louder.
Restraint, restraint, restraint
A true luxury brand should never be pushy. The power of a luxury brand is its magnetism, which is why the smart ones understand how to ingratiate themselves into a consumer’s life by knowing how to hold back. And just the right amount, too.
Cults, not brands
People don’t aspire to follow brands, per se. But they do value the idea of belonging to something very special. We look at luxury brands as “cults”, which in turn helps us to craft campaigns that feel very discerning, very insider.
