In the previous episode, we broke down the different layers of wealth in Africa.
Now, the real question is:
How do you actually sell to them?
Because understanding your audience is one thing.
Communicating with them effectively is another.
In this episode, I walk through the strategic approach to selling across each layer of wealth in Africa, from old money to new money, corporate elites, political circles, diaspora audiences, and cultural tastemakers.
This is not about generic marketing advice.
This is about Precision.
I break down:
- how your tone, messaging, and positioning must shift across each layer
- Why what works for one segment can completely fail for another
- , and how to apply the concept of code-switching in luxury communication
Because in this market, you cannot speak to everyone the same way.
A brand that feels aspirational to one group may feel too loud or too common to another.
And that difference is where strategy matters.
If you are building or positioning a luxury brand in Africa, this episode will help you think more clearly about how to communicate, how to sell, and how to align your brand with the right audience.
Because in luxury,
it is not just what you sell.
It is how, where, and to whom you sell it.
