Who We Are

About 400twin


The luxury marketplace is in a state of flux: disruptive macro-economics, oversaturation in the competitive landscape and above all, a more sophisticated and discerning clientele than ever before. Relevant, authentic brands can weather the storms that most observers predict.

400twin's consulting and research services provide deep insight into the behaviors and motivations of today's luxury audience. We go beyond demographic data and trends to identify what inspires the high-end customer to not just notice, but commit.

Our work across retail, travel and hospitality, cosmetics, jewelry, financial services, and real estate allows us to put your brand in the context of the market at large. We quickly identify key shifts in perception and habits that can be exploited and modified to your advantage. From there, we can help you develop and fine-tune your brand experience from PR to advertising to marketing to multi-channel sales.
