About the Luxury Channel

  • The Luxury Channel video podcasts offers sponsors a sophisticated web media reach for elite brands to reach a wealthy demographic world wide by a respected luxury expert. This allows these brands to benefit from the most powerful and fastest growing media source, the web. Americans use the internet to shop twice as much as the average individual. People spend more time on the web then in front of the TV. A recent study done by The Luxury Institute found that Luxury consumers were disappointed in the weakness of luxury brands to meet their on line needs. Luxury brands were slow to enter fearing affiliation with the mass marketers and an inability to supply “the luxury experience”. The purpose of The Luxury Channel is to bring a luxury venue to the web where elite brands can have an appropriate environment to share their product knowledge and services in a sophisticated global reach. By all the brands sharing one venue it saves companies millions of dollars by having to establish their own channel from scratch and creating and producing content and paying to market their channel against all the other thousands of luxury brand’s channels. Any commercial agency can create a product video for a company, but with The Luxury Guru you get the video and a way to distribute it internationally.

Winston Churchill Painting Up For Grabs

Winston Churchill Painting Up For Grabs 1

A notable statesmen and orator, Sir Winston Churchill was also an artist in his own right. One of his more prominent works, Tower of Kataoubia Mosque, was recently acquired by Bill Rau, president of the New Orleans-based Rau Antiques. The 1943 oil painting measures 18’’ by 24’’ and is asking for a price of USD 2,950,000.

Originally a gift for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Tower is a depiction of Koutoubia Mosque at sunset with the snowcapped Atlas Mountains in the distance. Churchill painted the piece after the two climbed to the top of the Berber Tower in Casablanca to view the sunset. Roosevelt was so enamoured by the sight that Churchill painted it for the president as a memento of their friendship and as a universal symbol of freedom.  It hung in Roosevelt’s home in Hyde Park until his death, before being passed along by various collectors.
