Strategic marketing agency for luxury brands. We pair the science of affluence with the art of desire to help heritage and premium labels reach high net worth audiences.

Affluent Audiences is the 30-year creative partnership of Niki and Scott, operating as a decentralised collective. Strategy is grounded in our proprietary 30,000-member affluent panel, which gives us behavioural evidence across four wealth bands (Mass Affluent, HNWI, VHNW, UHNW), rather than stated preference. Our work spans audience strategy, brand strategy, creative direction, campaign delivery and performance analytics. We are based at The Farmhouse Studio with a by-appointment presence in Mayfair, London.
