Case Study: DAC International

DAC International

The impact

DAC International’s Brand-to-Local approach helps luxury, high-end retail and premium service brands connect global strategy with intelligent local activation across complex international markets. Across more than 30 countries, we have supported iconic luxury retailers and premium service brands in translating brand equity into measurable commercial performance — aligning central governance with local execution, and long-term brand building with short-term revenue outcomes across both e-commerce and physical locations. This case study brings together luxury retail and premium services targeting UHNWIs, demonstrating how a unified international framework can scale performance in highly complex, multi-market environments.

Challenges

Luxury and high-end brands operating internationally face fragmented markets, differing levels of digital maturity, and increasingly complex omnichannel buying journeys.

They must:

  • Preserve premium brand positioning while delivering measurable performance
  • Compete for the attention of affluent and high-intent audiences
  • Navigate stricter privacy regulation and signal loss
  • Unify reporting and governance across dozens of markets

Targeting UHNWIs introduces additional complexity. This audience is inherently small, data signals are limited, and consideration cycles are long — making direct attribution unreliable. Misconceptions around media usage, particularly underestimating social media and digital engagement, can lead to inefficient investment.

Moreover, barriers to conversion often surface only through deeper insight techniques, such as qualitative analysis and call listening, which uncover true objections, motivations, and decision drivers not visible in platform data.

The solution

DAC International implemented a centralised yet flexible full-funnel framework powered by our Brand-to-Local methodology across 30+ countries.
