For the longest time, we believed ads were for mainstream businesses. Not luxury. Not high-end.
But what if we were wrong?
In this episode, we’re unpacking how ads actually fit into the luxury market, why brands like Chanel still use them, and how your ideal client is already being influenced by them every day.
Because running ads like a beginner attracts beginner clients.
But running ads like a luxury brand?
That’s a completely different strategy.
The industry is evolving.
Your marketing should too.

There’s a point in your business where what used to work just… doesn’t hit the same anymore. You’re booking, you’re busy, but you can feel it. If you want to grow, something has to shift. But then we started paying attention.
That’s exactly where this conversation came from. We were in the car talking about ads, something we had both written off for years. It always felt like a “mainstream” strategy, not something that aligned with building a luxury brand.

Luxury brands run ads. Your ideal clients are seeing them, clicking on them, and being influenced by them every single day. And whether we like it or not, that kind of visibility matters. It doesn’t mean you suddenly need to overhaul your entire strategy. But it does mean being open to the idea that growth at the next level might look different than what got you here. We talk a lot in this episode about the difference between being seen and being remembered. Because more inquiries isn’t the goal. Better inquiries are.

And at a certain point, that comes down to positioning, consistency, and staying top of mind with the right people. We’re still huge believers in organic marketing and strong planner relationships. That foundation isn’t going anywhere. But staying stuck in “this is how I’ve always done it” will keep you exactly where you are.
The industry is evolving. The way clients discover and choose vendors is evolving too.

The question is, are you willing to evolve with it?
