Master in Design & Marketing of Luxury Goods Scholarship Competition, Domus Academy, Italy

Domus Academy and Park Hyatt Milano are proud to launch
The New Luxury Traveller
Park Hyatt and the challenge of attracting the new luxury consumers

Master in Design & Marketing of Luxury Goods - September 2013

No longer is luxury defined only by the status, expense, prestige, recognition or distinction of a brand, but rather by the significance it brings to a person’s life. Affluent consumers are redefining the value of an affluent lifestyle around a mindset focused on their personal perspective of “worth.”

The new luxury consumers are using their knowledge to seek out the best – rather than the most expensive. They are looking for “earned” personal indulgences that have been ignoring the price-tag. The discovery of pleasure in simple things is emerging as a luxury premium.

Brief
The candidates will analyse the current positioning of Park Hyatt Milano among luxury hotels, its brand DN A and its distinctive values. They will then identify and describe what could be the new luxury customers’ expectations in their respective markets and suggest 3 possible marketing pillars Park Hyatt Milano should focus on to increase its desirability among new luxury consumers.

Audience
The competition addresses to graduates in creative disciplines willing to acquire marketing and business management skills as well as business and social sciences graduates who wish to deepen their knowledge of the luxury sector. All applicants should have a strong motivation towards the luxury environment.
