WE SHAPE THE FUTURE OF LUXURY!
Market Research | Advisory | Business Matchmaking
WHAT
we do
We are an advisory company dedicated to the (uber) luxury industry. We support established luxury brands just as start-ups to understand key trends and get ready for the future of luxury. We decipher a luxury brand’s code to sharpen their business model, positioning, offering, and marketing strategies and take the brand to the next higher level. For a more sustainable today and tomorrow.
As we believe in collaboration, we connect key stakeholders in- and outside the luxury industry for projects or long-term commitments. Particularly, we work closely with our clients, mostly C-level and founders, on their journey to a more sustainable, collaborative, and responsible future.
WHY
we do what we do
At CODE \ LUXE, we have the strong belief that every luxury brand needs its own code to evince its relevance and mystical aura. Yet, to tap into the minds and hearts of discerned and younger consumers, a luxury brand’s strategy is no longer just about well-designed, expensive products or services.
Just as the code of exclusivity is changing, the luxury code of the future needs different elements as more purpose and added value for the society and environment. This is why Dr. Julia Riedmeier founded CODE \ LUXE.
HOW
we do it
MARKET RESEARCH \ We generate rich insights to understand the brand’s status quo, consumer behavior and product/service preferences, or emerging trends. We know that luxury market research needs a different approach – thanks to our valuable network, we can count on visionaries or rather unaccessible personalities like (U)HNWIs.
STRATEGY CONSULTING & ADVISORY \ We develop go-to-market strategies, create meaningful brand strategies, and tackle the codes of the business model of the future, e.g. in terms of products and services, marketing or distribution.
BUSINESS MATCHMAKING \ Due to our strong and unique international network in the luxury industry, we connect the right people or brands – if companies, industry leaders, future talents. Whether for partnerships, sponsorships, or job positions. Become part of COLLECTIVE \ LUXE!
PEOPLE
We believe that the best-curated mix of people makes the difference for each project – to act agile in a dynamic environment and to elevate the result for all stakeholders involved.
What we all have in common is dedicated expertise in a specific field of luxury, a sensitivity to understand and cater to the needs of UHNWIs, and the drive to go on a brand-sharpening journey to really make an impact. Each of our collaborators is C-level and often a founder, as well.

OUR LUXURY CODE
For CODE \ LUXE, luxury must always be responsible and sustainable. Otherwise, it is lavishness.
Contemporary luxury brands need to make an impact. They need to leave the world better than it was to add value to society,
the environment, and the economy.
Whether traditional, new, or neo luxury: the elements of neo luxury as digitalization, sustainability,
co-creation must be visible in all perspectives. It is not an either-or.
Our aim is to support brands and start-ups of the luxury industry in marking their position in the market, to lead the path towards a sustainable future of the luxury industry, and to connect professionals and academics by our initiatives and advisory.
