Assignment Check list
Students often lose marks by forgetting some of the more straightforward
elements of their assignments. We recommend that you “tick off” each of
the points below as you prepare your work for submission.
Element 2 Brief: An individual report (2500 words) (60%)
You will produce a brand analysis report that highlights the importance of strategic
thinking, planning, decision-making and implementation in the context of luxury brand
management. You will select one brand from a choice of seven global luxury fashion
brands (7 choices: Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, Thebe
Magagu, Loewe, Versace or Moncler), and you will analyse and propose appropriate
brand strategies.
More specifically, you will research and examine the current context, evaluating
challenges and opportunities faced by the chosen luxury brand, and then propose
forward-looking solutions for the brand’s repositioning, rejuvenation and/or new market
entry strategies.
Your report needs to be academically robust with theoretical underpinning and presented
appropriately and professionally to the assumed executives of the brand. You must
include visuals and frameworks to help communicate your overall plan and strategy.
As part of your overall proposal, you must also include how sustainability, ethics
and cultural aspects could be integrated into your strategy, connecting this with
the appropriate UN’s SDG’s.

1. You will choose one luxury brand to analyse, and select supporting topics
from two or three of the areas below to help you frame your proposal in
relation to luxury brand management:
o Brand equity and the communication of brand values
o Brand extensions and new products/services
o Heritage, culture and design & craftsmanship
o Sustainable sourcing (including materials/textiles), distribution
and manufacturing
o Generation Z, Millennials, and consumer behaviour

2. Your report must discuss and apply theoretical concepts and frameworks
outlined in the unit and the recommended unit readings.
3. You should include visuals/moodboards within your report to help
communicate your brand strategy (eg: displaying before and after of the
recommended strategy). Your report should therefore be visually appealing in
line with your chosen brand.

implementation plan, critical path to launch your new strategy, with some
indication of timings, cost/price points as appropriate to your strategy.
