A UNIQUE PROPOSITION
We are not a concierge vendor. We are your consulting partner with exclusive access to proprietary expertise, oversight, access and inspiration.
We offer insights, content, knowledge and processes that cannot be replicated, because they are based on decades of serving inside the estates of UHNW clients, forming partnerships with the brands they love, and charting courses for deep customer engagement.
Please read on about how we address your needs and ensure a successful outcome as you transition your concierge services, vendors and offerings to recalibrate the experience you create.
ENVISIONING SUCCESS
Our consulting team designed a two-day innovative session for a major U.S. bank seeking to develop a new value proposition and product concept for its ultra high net worth clientele. The session applied design thinking principles to foster an ‘outside-in’ perspective, focused on client share of life. Ideation was powered by the real-world expertise and examples of our top estate managers. As a result, our consulting team delivered our client a highly differentiated, salient value proposition and product concept, which is now heading to market.
LANDSCAPE CHALLENGES
Our knowledge of the UHNW landscape tells us that concierge vendors of all kinds are searching for ways to evolve and improve the services they offer – in response to a changing UHNW customer landscape. We also understand their structural and staffing limitations, because these vendors contact us regularly for help with staff, referral requests and expert guidance in this changing environment.
DETERMINING OPPORTUNITIES
OUR VISION
Recalibrate your concierge services by infusing domestic intimacy with white-glove standards on local and global scales.
BUILDING DEEP EXPERTISE
Your Service Hub
UHNW individuals may support many causes financially, but they often commit their time, attention and passion to a favorite cause. When they do, this often becomes their number-one focus in life, and their platforms for building broader networks of other UHNWIs.
We help your brand align with these highly specific causes through connection-building and exclusive sponsorship opportunities that cannot be obtained any other way.
