“Fleishman-Hillard, an international communications firm and division of Omnicom, greatly covets its membership in the Luxury Marketing Council. Since joining in 2002, we continue to reap tremendous benefits on a variety of levels. The Council is at once a ready-made resource for exposure to the frontrunners in the luxury community; a treasure trove of best practices and trends in luxury marketing; a familial network for forging strategic partnerships with like minded brands all unified by a common goal. Many of our clients have been won and directly benefited from our membership such as Steinway & Sons and Visa Signature.
“Its greatest and most exclusive asset is its founder and chairman, Gregory Furman. He is dynamic, forward-thinking, and brings great energy and passion to The Council. With Greg's vision and role as mentor, Fleishman-Hillard has been encouraged to customize its membership to fit our business needs creating a number of proprietary, business-building initiatives such as “Think Tanks” comprised of hand picked LMC members to offer perspective on a client’s marketing approach, or a three-part diversity series showcasing our firms capabilities in affluent marketing to specific thriving market segments from transgender to Hispanic. Our membership has served as a company-wide template to senior management for how to align with third parties to meet our ever-growing business needs. The membership continues to exceed expectations and has become an integral part of our firm’s business plan year to year.”

“In the short time I have been a member of The Luxury Marketing Council, I am very pleased with the value the organization has brought to me and my company. Having been a panelist, I found the events and panel discussions very well organized and the subject matters interesting. I've also found the information regarding consumer preferences particularly informative and have met quite a few exceptional people who represent diverse products and services through our affiliation with The Luxury Marketing Council. I am absolutely looking forward to enjoying another year of membership!”

“As we get started in this New Year, we are delighted to continue our membership in The Luxury Marketing Council and look forward to many more fruitful meetings with our fellow Council members, with whom we can exchange innovative ideas and learn valuable information for successfully conducting business in today’s complex market.
“My participation in the Luxury Marketing Council has been an exceptionally rewarding experience both for me and Park Avenue Skin Care. To be able to meet the best and the brightest executives from companies serving the luxury market presents the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences and to brainstorm at a level hitherto unavailable to me. Greg encourages and then facilitates partnerships. The meetings are unique in content and marketing strategies and encourage member reactions and comments. I look forward to continuing participation and the excitement that comes from this unique synergy.”

“I would also like to take this opportunity to commend Greg Furman, who is certainly one of the most talented marketers in luxury. Greg also deserves accolades for having brought together an extraordinary group of executives and decision makers from such a wide variety of luxury industries. The fact that the Council is now rapidly expanding into foreign markets is yet another testimony to its success and its growing recognition as a truly global reference in the world of luxury.”

“The Luxury Marketing Council Leads to the Bottom Line. Having been a founding member of the Luxury Marketing Council---right from its beginning in 1994---I can state with conviction that the organization has been of outstanding benefit to me and my colleagues. Two things stand out in my mind as being of great value: First is the interaction among Council members. We share valuable marketing information on trends within the luxury goods and services sector. This allows fascinating perspectives and insights from all over the luxury world. Frequently I have been able to adapt innovative marketing techniques to my own operations to great advantage. Second, because of the frequent and close contact I have maintained with my fellow Council members I have been able to develop valuable promotional collaborations that have led to increased sales. That’s the bottom line, isn’t it?”
