Luxury Brand Performance: The listening247-Glion Luxury Brand Index Unveiled

London, UK – 26/02/2025 – Luxury brands, historically measured by traditional benchmarks, are now entering a new era that demands evolving metrics. In collaboration with the esteemed Glion Institute of Higher Education, listening247 has developed the listening247-Glion Luxury Brand Index (LBI) that brings a fresh perspective to online brand performance measurement in the luxury market.

A Transformative Methodology:

This innovative index is built on unsolicited customer opinions and behaviour collected from public online data, offering a timely, authentic reflection of consumer sentiment. This method ensures a dynamic, data-driven approach to luxury brand analysis, setting it apart from existing indices.

Unlike traditional metrics focusing on financial performance or surveys, this composite index uses advanced mathematical and statistical methodologies to select digital media metrics based on millions of online posts and assign their respective weights. The result is a balanced, evidence-based framework that evaluates brand equity and performance.

Why This Index Matters:

The luxury goods market—including apparel, accessories, watches, jewellery, and eyewear—has experienced consistent growth over the past decade. Yet, many existing indices fail to capture the full scope of brand influence. While indices like the S&P Global Luxury Index focus on financial metrics, others like the Altagamma Social Luxury Index incorporate non-financial factors such as limited scope social presence, reach and engagement, gaps remain in providing a holistic understanding of brand desirability.

The listening247-Glion Luxury Brand Index fills these gaps by leveraging nearly all available unsolicited consumer data to track brand trends, preferences, and sentiment. This index is valuable for all brand stakeholders—investors, analysts, policymakers, vendors, and customers—by delivering precise, current, and actionable insights.

Key Features of the Index:

1. 1. Unsolicited Customer Opinion: By analysing unsolicited online data, the index captures authentic, timely consumer perspectives, free from the bias of traditional surveys or outdated historical data.

1. 2. Dynamic and Holistic: The index tracks evolving consumer preferences and purchasing behaviours, offering a recent snapshot of market dynamics.

1. 3. Mathematically Weighted Metrics: Based on advanced analytics and deep learning, the index ensures an unbiased and balanced composition, grounded on real life factual data, providing an extremely reliable measure of luxury brand performance.
