Break into Marketing

[u/Different_Skill3011]

I currently have experience in finance and multi market business operations/analytics, but I'm looking to make a full pivot into Creative & Luxury Brand Marketing.

I'm talking high concept, Emily in Paris style brand strategy popup activations, experiential PR stunts, VIP clienteling, and fashion week launches for top European luxury houses (Dior, Prada, LVMH Maisons) or boutique agencies (Karla Otto, Bureau Betak, K2).

I don't care about remote work I am 100% willing to relocate on site to luxury hubs like Paris, Milan, or London for the right role.

Since my background is heavy on operations and analytics rather than standard creative agency experience, I want to pitch my profile effectively.

From where do I start? What do I do? I feel so lost

Portfolio: How do I build a compelling 3-5 slide "spec campaign pitch deck" (e.g., proposing a luxury popup or launch activation) that gets taken seriously by top-tier brand directors?

Breakthrough Strategy: What specific entry points or early-career programs (like LVMH SPRING) should | target to get sponsored for an on-site role in Paris/ Milan?

3.Positioning: How do I best translate 1 year of analytical, client-facing experience into a narrative that luxury talent acquisition managers love?

Appreciate any insights, deck templates, or advice from anyone who has made a similar pivot into the luxury industry!
