With LVMH making a groundbreaking 10-year partnership commitment to Formula 1, luxury powerhouses like Louis Vuitton, Moët Hennessy, and TAG Heuer are stepping into the spotlight on the world’s biggest stage. For me, this is a real full-circle moment. As Sidhu & Simon turns 20 this year, I can’t help but think back to as recently as 2019, when pitching F1 to our luxury clients often got polite nods, raised eyebrows, and the occasional “how nice for you.” Back then, F1 was seen as "motorsport for petrol heads," while luxury brands were, let’s say, sipping champagne in a different room. Fast forward to today, and look who's at the table—fully embracing Formula 1 as the perfect global partner. The numbers speak for themselves. Formula 1’s audience now tops 1.5 billion annually, with a younger, more affluent fan base—34% under 35. Female viewership has surged to 40%, attracting new women-focused sponsors (thanks, Financial Times). Since Liberty Media took over, F1 has quickly transformed from a global racing series into a global entertainment powerhouse. Liberty's revenue skyrocketed to $3.2 billion in 2023, with premium Grands Prix like Miami and Las Vegas pulling in new high-net-worth fans and world-class brands. Luxury is also booming, with LVMH is leading the charge. In 2023, LVMH reported a record €86.2 billion in revenue, up 9% from the previous year, with net profits hitting €15.2 billion. The global luxury goods market grew to €1.5 trillion, driven by millennials and Gen Z consumers who crave exclusivity, experiences, and heritage. The intersection of these two worlds - Formula 1 and LVMH could not be more timely or powerful. The collision of adrenaline and refinement is where the magic happens - and Sidhu & Simon couldn’t be more ready and excited for this latest chapter in F1’s remarkable growth. Hats off to Formula 1 and LVMH 👌 #SidhuAndSimon #F1 #LuxuryBrands #LVMH #20YearsInF1 #SponsorshipActivationExperts

The Swiss Retail Agency Team has successfully leased a retail unit on Lintheschergasse in Zurich to the French perfumery brand MARIONNAUD, on behalf of the institutional landlord. Over the past year, since the opening of the Brannhof building, this small, car-free stretch situated between the Globus and Jelmoli department stores—has evolved into a premier shopping destination with renowned brands such as Nespresso, ARKET, Lush, Café Felix, and now MARIONNAUD. #retail #Switzerland #Zurich #CbreRetailAgency

Luxury Brands Are Powerful Many of the worlds most valuable luxury companies have seen their share price go down this year. However the top six most valuable luxury companies alone generate over 200 billion dollars a year in revenue. #luxurymarket If they were a country that would put them in the top 50 countries by GDP or the income made by countries from selling goods or services. LVMH's success in 2022 turned france's stock market into the most valuable in europe dethroning the UK. LVMH also recently became a larger exporter than the french wine industry and one of france's biggest employers. Although many luxury companies have lost value this year they have never been more influential and powerful. Scientia est Potentia - Knowledge is Power #luxurymarket #thefreshkid

Cultural capital is their advantage.

#CrossPromotion in Action I first discovered Saint-Louis crystal while browsing through the #VIC edition sent by LVMH-owned 24S. Such e-mail updates are sent on a regular basis and showcase items and brands not available for online ordering on their website. I was impressed by #SaintLouis's creations, so a further research into its story and offerings was made. I've neved heard of the brand before and was surprised to learn it is owned by Hermès (and this is where I have the example of cross-promotion within one #luxury group in my previous article). The story doesn't end there. Always seeking to expand the offerings at 2Jour Concierge, I reached out to Saint-Louis directly, and it is currently available for private orders ( funny how 2Jour Concierge expanded into private orders, which were not planned at the beginning. I will definitely share the story of flexibility and adaptation to the market in further updates) x #lvmh #24s #hermes #luxuryfashion #marketing
