The Luxury Network spreads its wings to Asia

TLN is renowned globally for being the most dynamic affinity-marketing group in the luxury industry, with networks in the Middle East, as well as in Beverly Hills, London, Milan and Moscow. Its global portfolio includes the world’s most prestigious brands, such as Royal Jet, Sunseeker Yachts, Moet Hennessey and Harrods.

Simon Wagstaff, ASA’s chief executive says: “I am delighted we are ending the year on such a positive note. 2009 was challenging for everyone and we are pleased to be in a position to expand our aviation business into complementary areas. What we are now able to offer will boost the luxury sector across the region.”

Each TLN network is exclusive to its territory and ASA will own and manage the franchise in Asia. Membership of TLN is by invitation only and facilitates business development between premium companies through strategic alignment, affinity marketing, co-branding, events and partnerships.

Wagstaff adds: “Having seen the benefits TLN has brought to other regions of the world, I am confident that our new venture will stimulate the high-end industry throughout Asia. We are now in the process of inviting a few ‘founding members’ to join the network in Brunei, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, The Philippines and Vietnam.  We are also in discussions with a private jet partner in Asia and will announce the initial group in the New Year.”

The brainchild of entrepreneurs Kevin Rose and Andrew Lloyd, TLN is setting new standards in the luxury industry through its pioneering approach. Rose says: “Luxury brands are embracing the critical importance that affinity marketing and networking play in the development of new business opportunities. They now recognise that it is not always easy to find the time required to develop, nurture and capitalise on marketing alliances and new business partnerships, and that is where we come in.”
