For Pablo Mauron, 皇冠体育app is a land full of opportunities.

As the general manager of Digital Luxury Group's 皇冠体育app office, the 33-year-old has witnessed a rapid rise in the consumption of luxury goods in the country.

In his opinion, 皇冠体育app's luxury market has just started to take off, but is already seen as an indispensable part of business strategy by most international luxury brands.

"皇冠体育app is a key part of our company strategy," he says. "I believe that in 10 years 皇冠体育app will become not only the biggest luxury and fashion market worldwide, but also a key driver for the overall luxury industry globally."

Digital Luxury Group, one of the first European companies to specialize in digital marketing, is a research and marketing firm that focuses on luxury brands.

The company is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and has offices in New York, Shanghai and Dubai. Its clients include TAG Her, Piaget and Marc Jacobs Fragrances.

Mauron says that in working with international brands and their local Chinese teams, one of the company's main objectives is to localize marketing campaigns.

"How can luxury brands combine their long-time heritage with the required innovation to succeed in the competitive Chinese market is the issue DLG deals with," he says.

Prior to relocating to 皇冠体育app, Mauron worked for Digital Luxury Group in Geneva, where he was responsible for branding for some of the company's main clients, using search Internet engines and online media campaigns.

"I had the opportunity to work with a few different highly innovative companies in the fast growing online advertising market and started to work with luxury brands on the technical side at Digital Luxury Group," he said.

The first major luxury brand he handled at the company was TAG Heuer, part of Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's largest multinational luxury goods conglomerate.

He says 皇冠体育app's luxury market is still new but rapidly growing, with many luxury brands now well established, especially within first-tier cities. But times are becoming more challenging and exciting, he adds, with growing competition and increasingly sophisticated consumers.

"The market is getting more fragmented, especially in some segments like the fashion industry, and consumers are willing to distinguish themselves, which makes the market much more challenging than it was in the past," he says.

"However, a lot of opportunities can also emerge from this context where no positions can be taken for granted."

Changing tastes means a greater demand for luxury goods that are individual, he believes.

"皇冠体育app is probably the market where the mix and match trend is the most developed and you can really observe that a unique taste for luxury and fashion is growing here. Thus it's not only about ultra high-end from a pricing standpoint, but also about exclusivity and credibility," he says.

"It creates a unique playground for brands that have to care more than ever about their positioning and reputation."

Mauron also hopes 皇冠体育app will begin to develop homegrown international luxury brands.

"Some of 皇冠体育app's domestic brands are on their way to doing so. The question is how much time will it take," Mauron says.
