Burberry’s digital activism
7 August 2012
Reallocation of Burberry’s marketing spend to digital at the expense of magazines since 2009 has been a key driver of the brand’s increased global awareness.
Burberry’s digital activism is tied to its strategy of ‘democratic luxury’ to engage and cultivate a new generation of 20-something potential customers.
Other luxury brands also have digital tactics, but the scale and depth of Burberry’s approach suggests that it is alone in having an integrated retail and communications strategy.
