Luxury Brand Group

What Luxury Brand Group does

Luxury Brand Group (LBG) is a privately held, full-service boutique brand communications agency specializing in luxury lifestyle and consumer products, with a particular concentration in fine jewelry. Founded and led by President and CEO Frank Proctor, who brings 20+ years of luxury goods experience including a prior role as VP of Marketing at Platinum Guild International, the firm operates from offices in Orange County (headquarters), Los Angeles, and New York City, employing a core team of approximately four to ten professionals. The agency serves a roster of more than 60 brands across luxury jewelry, fashion, fragrance, cosmetics, and jewelry industry organizations, with named clients including Assael, Mouawad, Verragio, Ben Bridge, Picchiotti, Coast Diamond, Cirari, Bijan Fragrances, Michael Jordan Cologne, Merle Norman, GIA, American Gem Society, JCK, Jewelers Mutual Insurance, and Platinum Guild International.

The company's core offerings span five integrated service lines: Public Relations (media relations, editorial and broadcast placement, press releases), Advertising (creative development, media planning and buying, with over $250 million in cumulative advertising placed across print, online, television, radio, and billboard), Marketing (brand strategy, corporate identity, trade relations, event and trade show management), Digital Marketing and Influencer Relations (social media strategy, paid social, influencer outreach, email campaigns), and Showroom Services (a private Los Angeles showroom for celebrity and editorial product placement). The agency differentiates through exclusive focus on luxury lifestyle verticals, deep relationships with top-tier consumer and trade media, celebrity stylists, and Hollywood influencers, and a physical showroom asset that enables red-carpet and editorial placements.

LBG operates a B2B professional services model with custom quote-based pricing, no publicly disclosed rate cards, and revenue mechanics typical of retainer-plus-project boutique agencies. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, leveraging trade show presence, industry relationships, and referrals to acquire clients primarily in North America. There is no evidence of external institutional investment, no parent company, no acquisitions, no disclosed funding rounds, and no patent, trademark, or regulatory filings. The business is positioned as a high-touch, relationship-driven boutique competing primarily on talent credentials, industry network depth, and specialized vertical expertise rather than on proprietary technology or scale economics.

Direct peers

• Factory PR: LA/NY boutique public relations and social media agency for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. Strong direct overlap with LBG across celebrity seeding, influencer relations, and consumer-press outreach in the same verticals.
• BPCM: New York-based boutique PR and communications agency serving consumer, lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and wellness brands. Closest structural analog to LBG — same boutique-to-mid-market positioning, same luxury/consumer vertical mix, similar celebrity and editorial placement capability.
• LaForce: Boutique public relations and integrated marketing agency focused on fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and luxury consumer brands. Closely comparable to LBG in service offering (PR, influencer, social, showroom-style placement) and boutique client base.
• SHADOW PR: Los Angeles-based PR and communications agency representing fashion, lifestyle, and consumer brands. Similar geographic profile (LA/NY) and boutique operating model, directly competing for entertainment and influencer-driven luxury mandates.
• The Brandman Group: Boutique lifestyle and consumer PR agency with luxury and brand-building focus, similar in size and operating model to LBG. Competes head-to-head for mid-market luxury brand communications mandates including celebrity placement and media relations.
• SIREN PR: Consumer, fashion, beauty, and lifestyle public relations agency with boutique positioning comparable to LBG. Same integrated offering (PR, events, influencer) targeting similar mid-market luxury and consumer brand clients.

Broad incumbents

• Edelman: World's largest PR firm with dedicated luxury and consumer marketing practices. Represents the global, full-service incumbent that competes for the largest luxury brand retainers that LBG cannot service due to team size and geographic reach.
• BerlinRosen: Major consumer and lifestyle PR firm serving fashion, beauty, and luxury brands, with broader scale and service portfolio than LBG. Represents the larger established competitor that absorbs enterprise mandates LBG cannot service.
• 5W Public Relations: Larger consumer, lifestyle, beauty, and luxury PR firm headquartered in New York with offices across the U.S. Overlaps with LBG in luxury/lifestyle work but at greater scale and broader service portfolio, representing the larger competitor that LBG's clients sometimes graduate into.

Emerging players

• The Hype Agency: Boutique influencer and social-media marketing agency for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle brands. Comparable to LBG's digital/influencer service line, though more focused on the creator-marketing slice of the same luxury/consumer mix.
