If you haven’t seen it, now is your chance to see the next big thing in digital/mobile sweeping the world for those interest in lifestyle. And luxury brands are flocking to it. Buro 24/7 is a worldwide phenom which has moved into Australia via http://www.buro247.com. As it just went live, Tiffany snapped up one of the advertising slots. According to Sarah Homewood who wrote in AdNews (7 April 2015), Buro 24/7’s partner in Australia, NewsLifeMedia’s lifestyle publisher, Nick Smith stated, ‘Luxury advertisers are now leap-frogging a lot of the people in the market when it comes to digital. They’ve definitely taken to social media. Some of the brands have followings that are into the millions, so they know the value of talking to a digital audience, but still in a luxury way.’ Smith explained that Buro 24/7 hopes to establish itself as a luxury space for a slightly younger-demographic in order to complement NewLifeMedia’s brands such as Vogue and GQ. “What’s really refreshing about Buro 24/7 is it’s very much a nod to modern-day or new luxury. Miroslava Duma has come up the ranks quite quickly, it [Buro 24/7] almost talks to the movement around her brand. It’s not just people who have a lot of money or a lot of income, [many] people can aspire to buy into luxury brands,” Smith said.
