TBWA sets up luxury unit in China

TBWA   LUXURY   NEW COMPANY

Shanghai – TBWA has established TBWA\Luxury Arts in Shanghai, a new business arm dedicated to the growth of luxury brands in the China market.

TBWA\Luxury Arts will support clients with market insights and strategic plans, as well as oversee other realms of the luxury brand experience such as advertising, events, retail and brand building.

Previously, TBWA\ Shanghai has worked for an array of luxury clients including Cartier, Coach, Dior, Martell, Porsche, Rolex and Royal Salute.

“More than ever luxury is about entertainment and culture. Luxury brands need strong and powerful story telling to create memorable dreams and experience," said Natascha Dzikowski (pictured second left), who heads the TBWA\ Luxury Arts network after stints at Dior and Sephora.

"The mission of TBWA\ Luxury Arts globally, is to tell those stories and bring those dreams to life,” she said.

Richard Cotton (pictured second right), head of Luxury Arts, Shanghai\Greater China said great luxury brands are rooted in heritage and are flourishing today through creativity and innovation.

“China too is steeped in 5000 years of history yet is also reinventing itself. The fusion of Luxury and China is incredibly energising,” he said.

The new Shanghai team joins TBWA's similar offerings in Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, London, Moscow and Tokyo. TBWA\Luxury Arts was first set up in Paris in 2011.
