Among the numerous marketing concepts that we have
come across in this Marketing Dynamic module, I will be
covering the three concepts mainly; Marketing Mix-4Ps,
Brand Loyalty and Market Segmentation, Targeting and
Positioning for Gucci.
First I will be briefly introducing the company. Gucci is a
luxury fashion brand that is popular for its creativity and is
one of the oldest companies in the luxury fashion industry
having being found by Guccio Gucci in 1921. After more
than 100 years later, Gucci is one of the most influential,
innovative and progressive companies in the fashion
industry with a completely different brand from the one
that was created by the founder. The company has
continually redefined luxury and positioned itself as a
leader in the global fashion market and its products have
been recognized as the perfect representation of the best
Italian craftsmanship due to their high quality and prestige.

Now lets dig deeper about the company from the lens of
marketing mix- the 4ps.The four Ps of marketing are still
widely used today by marketers and companies to
advertise their goods and services which stands for
product, price, promotion and place.

Moving to their target market, they are theRenowned
celebrities from all over the world, the wealthy upper
middle and upper class. Also, Individuals who are more
prone to believe in exclusivity in shopping where not
everyone will have the same style as you.

The competitors list is huge, however, on the positioning
we can observe that the biggest competitors are Fendi,
Prada, Balenciaga, Versace, Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent,
Dolce and Gabbana, Louis Vuitton and Burberry. Even
with all the competitors being equally good on what they
do, Gucci had a successful 2019 and was even called the
most popular brand in 2019 by Vogue. Gucci offers
products with excellent quality, it’s great marketing via
social platforms and it’s influence among millennials are
guaranteeing Gucci the throne and if the company keep
on investing on the right things as it is doing, this
popularity and success won’t go away anytime soon.

From the analysis, we can conclude that Gucci has
successfully proved the power of strong branding and
differentiation in the competitive market. Its success is
due to the brand’s unique strategies, which have propelled
it to become one of the world’s most recognizable luxury
fashion labels.
Similarly it has taught the importance of preserving the
culture to maintain brand loyalty as
Its marketing activities are mostly related to shaping the
brand into more cultural and historical than other brands
telling stories. For example, due to the geographical
location, many cultures of Italy and Greece are similar.
Hence, Gucci once designed a Dionysus bag which was
inspired by the Dionysus Greek mythology and made
customers pay more attention to the cultural connotation
of the product by means of fairy tales.
Considering the fact that the company is more than 100
years, it has been innovative and creative in its marketing
efforts every year. For example, Gucci cooperated with
many young European illustrators and street artists to
attract the younger generation, especially with the concept
of experiential marketing. For its new Spring/Summer
2018 campaign, Gucci traveled through time, for a
campaign that mixed both ancient and futuristic
references.The brand had collaborated with Spanish artist
and illustrator Ignasi Monreal to create a series of
paintings, inspired by classic artworks, which placed
designs from the collection in surreal tableaux.
Lastly it has proved the importance of influencer marketing
in this digital world. Gucci has made sure to be seen on a
bevy of style icons including Harry Styles, Kate Moss, and
Rihanna – all millennial favorites as Celebrities have
always been the ultimate validation for luxury brands. For
its 2021 campaign, Gucci featured a hoard of celebrities
such as Harry Styles, Serena Williams, and Dakota
Johnson to do a ‘talk show’ called The Beloved Show with
James Corden which was a massive success.
With this, I would like to end my presentation. Thank you
so much for patiently listening to me.
