Mention Bentley or Fabergé, and the brands are instantly recognizable as paragons of luxury. It's the type of brand recognition that equates to valuable equity. Yet, marketing luxury brands of this nature is about so much more than selling a product or service. .

It's the first time quarterly growth has slowed since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when the number of people coming into the country ground almost to a halt as the government closed Canada's borders.
