The course focuses on analyzing "affluencers" — affluent consumers who also influence the shopping and buying behaviors of others. Taking a scientific approach, it uses systems, artificial intelligence, deep learning, predictive analysis, nowcasting, semantic web, customer analysis, behavioral economics, and emotions to decode luxury’s future drivers. APPLY NOW The luxury opportunity “From a journalistic standpoint, we can no longer ignore the significant influence of technology on fashion," says Enrique Menendez, editor in chief of Jing Daily. "The livelihood of the industry depends on a new generation who can think differently and approach fashion and technology as one from the onset of their careers.” Michael Jais, CEO of Launchmetrics, continues, stating, "There is no doubt that the luxury landscape has changed over the past year — and luxury marketing has changed with it, requiring new methods and new approaches to reach the modern consumer.” Therefore, this degree offers a unique combination of skills to future graduates in the field. Co-developed with Launchmetrics, this highly professional program draws primarily on the University's knowledge in academia and the City of Cannes’ resources, as well as industry expertise.
