Luxury Brand Consultant

Effective design is strategic and intentional. It is a reflection of your brand’s values, purpose, and unique voice in the marketplace. It connects with people on a primal level and tells them what they need to know about your brand before they even realise they are making a decision.

Designing an intuitive and engaging app for DS Techeetah, one of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship teams. After helping the team in its digital transformation, the app was a success and has helped fans of the Formula E team get regular updates on the season.

Crafting a vibrant advertising campaign for a Westfield fashion event. The campaign was a resounding success, the number of attendees increased compared to the previous year. ikon has since worked with Westfield, creating fashion brand campaigns in the next 5-6 subsequent years.

Luxury is more than just a product, it’s an experience. It is something that is felt, not just seen. It is an emotion that is evoked, not just a message that is conveyed.

The difference between ikon – A luxury branding and creative agency – and any other consulting firm is simple: we understand luxury.

We understand the psychology of a luxury buyer. We know what it takes to create a brand that speaks to the heart as well as the mind. We believe that design is a powerful tool for luxury that can be used to create an emotional connection with your customers.

We are not a traditional agency. We are a team of creative thinkers, strategists, luxury brand consultants, and storytellers who are passionate about luxury brand consulting. We understand that to create a lasting impression, we must go beyond the surface and get to the heart of what makes your brand special.

Our process is designed to help you distill your brand’s essence, craft a compelling story, and develop a clear strategy for communicating your message to the world.

Having worked with various types of businesses and brands, the ikon team has a wealth of experience across multiple sectors; we'll help you gain a competitive edge over some of the best luxury brands and achieve long-term success through simple and elegant design.

We believe that design has the power to connect people. It is a language that we all speak, whether we are aware of it or not. When used correctly, it can be a powerful tool for building relationships and creating connections.

At ikon, we know that every touchpoint is an opportunity to make an impression with your customer. That's why we take a holistic approach to design, delivering compelling identities that work across all touchpoints of your brand.

Your luxury brand needs to evoke desire, inspire aspiration, and convey a sense of exclusivity. We help luxury businesses – just like yours – to embody these values:

• Glamour: Craft a brand identity that is exceptional and intriguing, so that customers are always left wanting more.

• Desire: Create a brand that ignites a desire in your customers and makes them feel like they can't live without your products or services.

• Exclusivity: Create a brand that is aspirational and unattainable for most, ensuring that your brand maintains its high value and prestige.

A brand is not just a logo or a color palette, it is a reflection of your unique worldview.

A brand is not a business card or a website or a product. It is the sum of all these things and more. It is an emotional connection that is built over time.

A brand is the result of a thousand little things done right.

And that is what we pride ourselves in: the attention to detail, the obsessive focus on quality, ability to come up with new ideas, and the commitment to always putting our clients’ best interests first.

We take the time to understand your business, your customers, and your objectives. We immerse ourselves in your world so that we can craft a brand identity that is truly unique to you.

With a deep understanding of luxury brand management we can help you build a brand that stands the test of time.
