Luxury marketing has gone through some major changes over the past couple of decades. The power is moving away from luxury firms to luxury consumers, who are playing a more significant role than ever before. These challenges in global markets have sparked a growing interest by practitioners and academics in the content marketing and in the metrics to measure its impact on luxury firm performance. However, the literature is still fragmented. Trying to fill this gap, this chapter has two main objectives. Firstly, it reviews the existing literature on content marketing and the main metrics used. Secondly, it analyses the degree of use and effectiveness of content marketing strategies, tools and metrics on a sample of 218 luxury firms. The results of the study revealed that content marketing is seen by luxury firms as marketing communications strategy that provides valuable and helpful information to a clearly defined target audience with the aim to increase sales.

Luxury as a field of research has attracted many scholars who examined the potential connections and (in)compatibilities between luxury and corporate social responsibility (CSR). While some studies emphasize the incompatibility between luxury and sustainability, others highlight the important efforts of luxury brands in terms of luxury offerings and sustainable marketing strategies to fit eco-friendly consumers. To foster this research stream, this chapter develops a deeper understanding of the rise and evolvement of CSR in the luxury sector and the major marketing strategies implemented by luxury brands to fit with the needs of today's responsible consumers. The authors will first present a chronological literature review through three key periods, including the underground and advancement stages to the consolidation of sustainable luxury marketing as an established research stream. Then, a framework identifying different luxury CSR strategies will be proposed. Finally, opportunities and futures challenges will be discussed at the end of this chapter.

Purpose The purpose of this research study is to identify differentiation factors Burgundian wineries use to distinguish their brand, and to determine whether these methods align or conflict with luxury marketing differentiation attributes. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative methodology of 23 in-depth interviews with various sized wineries, as well as Burgundy market experts, was used. In addition, document analysis of websites and marketing materials was carried out along with a comprehensive review of the luxury marketing literature. Findings Results show that Burgundian wineries have adopted some, but not all, of the luxury marketing differentiation attributes. Furthermore, there are a series of core tensions in the industry, including disagreement on using luxury marketing strategies. These findings contribute to the theory base in luxury wine marketing by illustrating how general luxury marketing attributes are used for wine brand differentiation. Originality/value This research is the first of its kind to investigate luxury marketing differentiation practices of Burgundy wineries. The results are relevant for new wineries in Burgundy, as well as those in different regions of the world who desire to emulate, and perhaps come close to achieving, some of the luxury price points that certain Burgundy wine producers achieve. The information is also useful to assist related industries, such as food and spirits, which struggle in implementing luxury marketing strategies.

Romanian children's literature, particularly translations for children, has rather low visibility in international children's literature scholarship, and translations of Beatrix Potter have not been extensively researched, either. This article contributes to filling these gaps by exploring the challenges involved in the recent publication of the first licensed Romanian edition of Beatrix Potter and the strategies employed to solve them. It identifies extra-textual challenges, related to the possibility of publishing Potter, the licensing process, the selection of particular tales and book formats for publication, and marketing strategies; and textual challenges, arising from Potter's writing style, the interdependence between visual and verbal aspects in her tales, their cultural specificity and read-aloud qualities. It also discusses the roles of the British and Romanian publishers in the publishing process and relates the translation strategies visible in the texts to the translator's apparently divided responsibility towards Potter and the Romanian audience, her conceptions of children and children's literature, and the Romanian literary tradition.
