Lifestyle marketing can work in different ways for different types of businesses and brands, depending on:
The ideal client(s)
The exact goals in play
Where a brand is at currently.
Nevertheless, many middle-of-the-line, luxury, and super-upscale brands can implement lifestyle marketing with varying degrees of success by leveraging assets and strategies involving elements like (but not limited to):
Mesmerizing images: Showing products, services, and venues in action can put viewers in the scene while speaking to the “lifestyle” associated with a given brand. Lighting, props, models, and more can all play into the vibe, the atmosphere, and the overall feelings you want to inspire in viewers when they first see your brand’s images.
Riveting videos: Highlight events, customer-staff interactions, exclusive experiences, and so much more in short reels or video content. As a next-level way to leverage lifestyle marketing, videos can be immersive and engaging. They can also distinguish brands from competitors who aren’t putting out video content, especially with drone videos in the mix.
Social media marketing: Most people spend time on at least one social media platform these days. If your brand is there too, putting out thoughtful content and regular posts, it has better chances of getting found by a larger audience. It may also become part of bigger conversations, larger trends, and maybe the stuff of viral legend.
More: Websites, events, strategic digital marketing, and so much more can also lie under the umbrella of lifestyle marketing.
Deciding which options to invoke, how to scale, and when to revamp existing campaigns can be a challenge, especially for overworked and undermanned teams that are looking to achieve extraordinary results.

Any brand that “fits” into a specific type of lifestyle or way or living can likely benefit from lifestyle marketing. That can open up a vast range of possibilities for nearly every type of product, service, and space to find a lifestyle marketing niche and work it into their digital and promotional positioning.
If we’re talking specifically about aspirational ways of living, brands that could implement lifestyle marketing — either in a particular avenue or as an across-the-board measure — include (but are not limited to) those associated with:
Hotels and resorts: Poolscapes, high-end eateries, on-site nightlife, and VIP experiences can all start to showcase what it’s like to live for a day at these destinations.
Restaurants, bars, and clubs: Menus, tablescapes, and intriguingly colorful cocktails can invite an audience to live for a moment in the dining rooms, barrooms, and dance floors of these types of brands.
Food and beverages: Ingredients, sumptuous meals, cocktails, and garnishes can transcend language, generational gaps, and social strata, exciting viewers’ palates and giving a brand another way to leverage lifestyle marketing with remarkable impact.
Events: Decorative entryways, event guests, DJ booths, ballrooms, and birds-eye views can give an audience an “insider” look at what happens at certain events. That’s another way to “invite” them to experience the event on a small, remote scale, giving them a taste of what else they could expect if they attend in person.
Brands associated with luxury products, high-end travel, and generally outfitting someone with the “good life” can also do wonders with smart lifestyle marketing.
Luxury and ultra-luxe brands can invoke lifestyle marketing to highlight how their unique offerings match, align with, or exceed their clients’ values, needs, interests, and expectations. By positioning marketing messaging, visuals, positioning, and more around a particular style of life and way of living, lifestyle marketing can provide several advantages to small, growing, and elite brands alike. Those benefits can include (and are not limited to):
Building Deep Emotional Connections in Faceless Digital Spaces: Lifestyle marketing can tap into how an audience sees themselves or how they’d like to view themselves. That can foster near-instant, deep-rooted connections that can start to anchor into customers’ goals, how they understand their identity, and what they want for the future.
Cultivating More Brand Loyalty: When an audience feels like a brand “knows” or reflects them, those people are far more likely to become brand loyalists, especially if that brand has an effective way to make customers feel like they belong.
Differentiating the Brand: Lifestyle marketing isn’t a tired strategy that everyone in the game is using these days. Quite the opposite — lifestyle marketing is more innovative, thoughtful, and “personal,” giving today’s forward-thinking brands an edge that can resonate like nothing else in the digital marketing realm.
Maximizing Market Reach: By amplifying aspects of lifestyle and zeroing in on certain interests, lifestyle marketing can put brands in spaces they wouldn’t be visible in otherwise. That can mean connecting with new, larger audiences who are ready to engage, learn more, and become new clients. It can also mean discovering new potential brand partners for cross-marketing or cross-promotional opportunities.
Staying Relevant: Lifestyle marketing can put brands front and center with the latest trends and audience preferences, showing not just relevance but also possibly spearheading the advancement of conversations related to certain products, spaces, activities, or events.
