Something has stopped working in luxury.
The language of exclusivity, prestige, and aspiration — the vocabulary that has shaped luxury marketing for a generation — is no longer landing the way it once did among the world's wealthiest buyers. Existing research keeps asking the same questions and getting the same answers. We decided to ask differently.
We, at Jasper Colin, spent the better part of a year conducting our most rigorous primary study to date: 500 wealthiest consumers across six global markets, using a mixed-method design that combines in-depth qualitative interviews, conjoint analysis, MaxDiff scaling, and a three-archetype segmentation model. The result is a picture of the affluent buyer that is measurably, quantitatively different from the one most luxury and experience brands are currently designing for.
This webinar is the first public window into those findings — before the full report publishes and while early access to the insights dashboard is still available.

Three findings that should make every luxury strategist uncomfortable.
James Wallman will react live to three headline findings from the study. Each one challenges a core assumption currently embedded in the luxury playbook. We are not previewing the data here; that is what the webinar is for. But here is the territory each finding covers.
Sixty minutes, structured in three parts.
Reframing the Affluent Consumer
Jasper Colin sets the stage with the core question driving the study, unpacking the scale, methodology, and global lens behind one of the most ambitious luxury consumer studies conducted to date.
The Findings Challenging Luxury's Playbook
The study's three headline findings are revealed live, followed by strategic reactions and cultural interpretation from James Wallman.

Featured Guest Reactor
James Wallman — Featured Guest Reactor
James Wallman is one of the world's foremost voices on the future of experience — why we crave it, how it shapes identity, and what it tells us about where culture and commerce are heading. He is the author of Time and How to Spend It and the founder of the World Experience Organization (WXO), the global community connecting experience designers, luxury practitioners, and cultural strategists across industries.
James's thinking on experientialism — the idea that the experiences people remember and value most are relationship-rich, restorative, and meaning-led rather than status-driven — sits in direct and measurable alignment with the findings of this study. That alignment is why he is the right reactor for this data: he does not simply validate what the numbers say, he extends them into strategic territory that the numbers alone cannot reach.
