My first encounter with Natalie Massenet founder of Net-A-Porter was not very inspirational to say the least. She might not even remember it…but I shall never forget. Their rejection and harsh words of wisdom inspired me to develop a luxury PR branding platform for targeting the luxury online shopper. Developing an influential luxury PR media outlet for luxury consumers as well as luxury professionals.

Massenet founded Net-a-Porter in 2000 in London that started out as a website as a magazine format intended for selling designer fashion. She got the idea from attempting to source products online for a fashion shoot. Incredible she launched the business from her flat in Chelsea and she raised all the £1.2m start-up costs herself with the help of her husband at the time. Starting from such a place of humble beginnings at times Massenet stacked up Net-a-Porter’s trademark black delivery boxes in her own bath.

We had officially launched MosnarCommunications.com in February of 2006 starting to make a real mark in 2007 and the demand for creating luxury PR branding influential value especially for luxury online shopping engagement was very new. I wanted desperately at the time to be a Google News Source in this area and today have learned that building online influential equity from a direct website location is more credible for search traffic and targeting luxury audiences even over social media. However, at one point we were a Google News Source which we are not today. The best place to connect with us now is thorough the Google Play Story by downloading our new complimentary app MC Privy for luxury branding PR media strategies.

When we first launched I had reached out to the seasoned Net-a-Porter about forming a strategic alliance. A sharp tongue Natalie Massenet quickly informed me that our brands did not have the right “synergy” to be able to work together. She gave even more harsh reasons why but all that stuck out in my mind was my brand’s synergy was not a match for the fab Net-a-Porter…I was determined to fix that fast and in a hurry.

Luxury Online Shopping

Over the years we focused on finding synergy attraction for luxury online shoppers.  A solution for defining “The New Charlotte Luxury Professional Women” who now rule the luxury industry. Thanks to a early brief encounter of rejection our goal was to find a solution to understand characteristics for the ultimate luxury online shoppers. Right now targeting the luxury professional woman is the primary solution to sell more luxury goods, products, and services.
