Process
Created a strategy to provide a wide range of products from best-in-class partners which would appeal to a range of consumers including the uber-rich, car owners, aspirers and fans of both the luxury car and racing brands across the globe. Achieved through creating subbrands at varying price-points to appeal to a range of consumers without devaluing the core brand and finding partners to execute product aligned with this aim.
Retailers
