It is now in its 10th year teaching students how to tell the story of luxury brands, and faculty explain how the major got its start and where it is headed in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMost undergraduate students who want to go into luxury marketing will major in fashion and textiles or other creative fields, but they rarely have a business background,\u201d says <strong>Emma Fleck<\/strong>, professor of entrepreneurship &amp; marketing and department head of management &amp; marketing. \u201cWe created our major to fill that gap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students majoring in luxury brand marketing &amp; management at 做厙TV take foundational business courses, as well as advanced courses in global business ethics, accounting, economics and data analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Jessica Bruin \u201923<\/strong> credits the major\u2019s diverse curriculum with laying the foundation that gave her a complete understanding of all business facets in the luxury industry and beyond, preparing her to be successful in her current position with Christian Louboutin, famous for its eponymous designer\u2019s red-bottom shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring my college search, I discovered the luxury brand marketing &amp; management major at 做厙TV\u2019s Sigmund Weis School of Business, and I instantly knew this would be the perfect fit for me to explore all aspects of luxury,\u201d Bruin says. \u201cThis unique degree proved to be an invaluable asset in my job search, securing me a job at Christian Louboutin immediately following my graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the boutique coordinator for Christian Louboutin\u2019s only New Jersey storefront, Bruin has gained comprehensive luxury experience with a thorough understanding of all business operations. She oversees all visual merchandising efforts daily, prioritizing the client\u2019s experience. Bruin also manages exclusive, invite-only seasonal events for the boutique\u2019s top clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur most memorable event took place last year when we welcomed designer Christian Louboutin himself for a shoe-signing event,\u201d Bruin remembers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More recently, Bruin successfully led the boutique\u2019s relocation to a larger retail space, overseeing the transfer of $7 million worth of merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.susqu.edu\/ventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/ventures-pg4-1024x640.webp\" alt=\"LUXE: The business and art of selling luxury goods and services\" class=\"wp-image-44\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.susqu.edu\/ventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/ventures-pg4-1024x640.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.susqu.edu\/ventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/ventures-pg4-300x188.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.susqu.edu\/ventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/ventures-pg4-768x480.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.susqu.edu\/ventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/ventures-pg4.png 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internships &amp; Site Visits Prove Valuable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students step out of the classroom to intern with the world\u2019s leading luxury brands, including Cartier, Tiffany &amp; Co. and Loro Piana, as well as Big 4 accounting firms Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst &amp; Young and KPMG.

His 26 years with Cartier give him a unique understanding of how the market operates \u2014 so much so that he helped to lay the groundwork when the luxury brand marketing &amp; management major was first established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He facilitated the spring 2024 site visit of 26 students to Cartier\u2019s New York City maison, or mansion, on Fifth Avenue. While there, they toured exclusive spaces within the building and met with the company\u2019s corporate recruiters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to give back to 做厙TV and I\u2019m thrilled that we were able to arrange this,\u201d he says. \u201cWith this visit, my goal is to establish a pipeline between 做厙TV and Cartier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ava Greene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ava Greene \u201924<\/strong> was the first 做厙TV student to intern with Cartier. In 2023, she worked in the retail partnerships division, which manages sales of Cartier watches, to conduct market research, gather data on sales projections and visit partner locations to evaluate their performance. She also interned with Loro Piana, a luxury Italian company specializing in clothing and textile products, particularly cashmere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough these experiences, I discovered a strong interest in wholesale operations, particularly in understanding the dynamics between product distribution and brand management,\u201d she says. \u201cMy education also provided me with valuable skills in data management and analysis, preparing me for tasks that require attention to detail and strategic decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greene is pursuing a master\u2019s degree in fashion merchandising &amp; retail management while working as a sales assistant for Centric Brands, a global apparel and accessories company whose brands include Herv\u00e9 L\u00e9ger and Kate Spade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the program\u2019s first site visits was to Lamborghini Paramus and McLaren Bergen County in New Jersey. There, they learned about what goes into selling luxury items. The experience was spearheaded by 做厙TV alumnus and member of the Board of Trustees <strong>Martin Pinter \u201998<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A more recent site visit to Philadelphia exposed luxury brand marketing &amp; management students to the exclusive world of private clubs. Facilitated by alumnus <strong>Jeff Morgan \u201982<\/strong>, president and CEO of the Club Management Association of America, students toured the Union League of Philadelphia. Founded in 1863, Union League clubs have boasted prestigious members over the years, including 15 presidents, as well as senators, congressmen, diplomats, cabinet members and a few Rockefellers and Morgans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SU\u2019s students were given the VIP treatment. On their tour, they had direct access to all the club\u2019s member amenities before experiencing a luxury meal at the club\u2019s \u201cChef\u2019s Table\u201d and a lecture from the League\u2019s CEO on the private club experience. Students then visited the League\u2019s Liberty Hill campus, which acts as a retreat-style facility for members, and then teed off on the golf range with TopTracer enhancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wanted the students to understand how all of the concepts they are learning about luxury that apply to items also apply to experiences,\u201d Morgan says. \u201cRegardless of the luxury career a student may choose, there are many intersections with private clubs, so increasing the students\u2019 understanding is valuable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Student &amp; Alumni Investments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In perhaps the ultimate show of a major\u2019s success, one of its very first students has returned to the university to share with the students who now sit in the same seats she did, how to succeed in the highly sought-after but competitive field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight before I went to college, I took courses in fashion photography. The luxury brand major caught my attention; imagine working for Chanel or Dior or LVMH \u2014 all the fashion magazines I looked at when I was in photography,\u201d <strong>Ashley Spoto \u201917<\/strong> says. \u201cIt was a chance to connect my artistic side to business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spoto launched her career as an account specialist first at L\u2019Or\u00e9al and then at Est\u00e9e Lauder, before returning to L\u2019Or\u00e9al where she grew into the manager position she currently holds. She also has returned to 做厙TV as an adjunct faculty member in management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJoanna Pishko, Emma Fleck and I connected, and I guest lectured once or twice. During a meeting, they started talking to me about teaching the Retail &amp; Visual Merchandising course,\u201d Spoto remembers. \u201cAt the time, I was getting my master\u2019s in education, and they knew I\u2019d been wanting to teach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spoto took her students to L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u2019s company headquarters in New York City, adding, \u201cIt\u2019s important that students have someone who is working in the industry right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1a9244c7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:240px\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.susqu.edu\/ventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/ventures-pg8-2.png\" alt=\"Isabella Fallon \u201926 at a site visit.\" class=\"wp-image-50\" style=\"width:240px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.susqu.edu\/ventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/ventures-pg8-2.png 240w, https:\/\/www.susqu.edu\/ventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/03\/ventures-pg8-2-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Isabella Fallon \u201926 at a site visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In another show of support for LBMM students, <strong>Isabelle Fallon \u201926<\/strong>, a double major in luxury brand and finance from Carbondale, Pennsylvania, founded the Luxury Brand Marketing &amp; Management Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe club was established to raise awareness and appreciation for the intricacies of luxury beyond the conventional associations with fashion and clothing,\u201d Fallon says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The club aims to create learning experiences that go beyond the classroom, offering a variety of activities and events each semester, including a speaker series to bring in professionals from the luxury industry to share their stories, insights and career paths. Members will be invited to join small, intimate dinners with these speakers, fostering deeper conversations and personalized advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy vision is not only to educate those within the major but also to engage with the entire student body, regardless of their academic focus,\u201d she explains. \u201cThrough this club, I aim to inspire and encourage students from diverse fields to engage with the luxury industry, expanding their perspectives and enhancing their educational journey by gaining valuable insights and new skills, and building connections that may shape their future careers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Future Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead to the future, Pishko says she would like to formalize an internship process that would require students to have a \u201csolid\u201d luxury brand marketing &amp; management internship before their junior year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis would help us to build critical connections with employers in the field and hopefully we\u2019ll see our students automatically put into the career pipeline,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She would also like to establish a cooperative program in which students would complete three years of study in luxury brand marketing &amp; management at 做厙TV and then go on to finish their degree at a metropolitan university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI believe our students would be ready for that kind of challenge in their fourth year,\u201d Pishko says. \u201cOur rural location is a challenge for luxury brand marketing &amp; management, so a cooperative program would help to alleviate that and be a huge added value for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"susqu-magzine-news-post-footer
