Who to invite to a luxury product launch

“Who should I invite to my product launch, and who can make it happen?”

The short answer

Start from your own address book, not a bought list. The best guests are senior people you once worked with, who have a reason to care about this product today, plus the few who can produce the evening and bring the press. We rebuild your network and return a ranked guest list with one reason per name.

Who it’s for

Founders and executives of luxury, fashion, jewellery, watch and spirits houses preparing a launch, an opening or a collection evening.

What we look for in your network

  • Senior people you worked with, in the same houses and the same years
  • People whose current role makes your product their subject
  • Recent appointments: a reason to write that isn’t about you
  • Event producers, venues and editors who have done this before
  • Contacts who can bring the others: the connectors in your address book

+ 34 more guests in the full document, each with its reason

Fictional people and companies. The level of detail is real.

What you receive

A guest list in three groups (invite first, who can make it happen, who brings the press), each name with its reason and how you know them, plus who knows whom in the room.

It starts with your network rebuilt in ten working days: careers dated, where you know each person from, how close you were, who can reintroduce you. Delivered in person, as a workbook you can filter, a searchable page and a clean address book for your iPhone.

An NDA before any file is shared. To find someone, only a name and a company leave your address book.

You choose who stays out of the search.

Professional facts only: nothing on wealth, health, religion or legal matters.

Everything deleted at the end, with a dated certificate.

Questions

Do you estimate how wealthy my guests are?
No. We rank on professional signals only: role, sector, seniority, shared past with you. Nothing about wealth, possessions or private life is searched or written.
Can you send the invitations?
No. You keep the relationship. We give you the list, the reason for each name and how to reach them through someone you know.
How long does it take?
Ten working days for the full address book. A guest list for one event comes on top, in a day or two once your network is rebuilt.
