ANNOUNCING THE WINNERS OF LPI’S 2026
MARKETING CONTEST
Celebrating standout creativity and marketing excellence from across the global LPI network
We’re thrilled to share the results of the 2026 Luxury Portfolio International® Marketing Contest, unveiled live at the Luxury SUMMIT general session on March 3 and the All Conference Awards Gala on March 4. This year marked a major evolution for the program as LPI formally separated our portion of the contest from LeadingRE and reimagined it as a modern, high value initiative designed to elevate and showcase the exceptional marketing talent within our network.
To the right and on the following page is a look at the program updates — and, most importantly, your 2026 category winners.
Meet the 2026 LPI Marketing Contest Winners!
Please join us in congratulating this year’s standout performers:

Each of these firms demonstrated extraordinary creativity, strategic thinking, and brand stewardship — setting a high bar for marketing innovation across the network.
Why We Reimagined the Contest
Our goal was simple: create a refreshed, relevant, and meaningful platform that:
• Encourages deeper engagement with LPI’s full suite of marketing assets
• Surfaces innovative, real world use cases from diverse markets
• Strengthens global adoption of consistent, current LPI branding
• Celebrates member creativity and shares scalable ideas across the network
This year’s submissions delivered all of that — and more.
How Submissions Were Judged
Entries were reviewed by the LPI marketing team alongside select external advisors, with evaluation based on:
• Brand Alignment — Consistent and correct use of LPI branding
• Creativity & Innovation — Original thinking and thoughtful execution
• Strategic Impact — Demonstrated outcomes or clear business value
• Scalability — Ideas other members can adapt
• Activation Strategy — Effective promotion and visibility
The result? A truly impressive showcase of best in class luxury marketing.

EDITORIAL THEMES
A major new global marketing opportunity — curated for maximum exposure, reach, and relevance
We’re thrilled to introduce a brand new offering for 2026: Luxury Portfolio International® Editorial Themes — announced at Luxury Summit and now officially in motion across the entire LPI marketing ecosystem.
This is the first time LPI has introduced a formal editorial strategy of this kind, and it has one goal: to ensure your most notable listings reach the right audience, in the right place, at the right time.
What Are Editorial Themes?
Each theme is built around UHNWI migration patterns, major global cultural moments, and key luxury lifestyle topics that are driving attention across the industry.
They’re seasonal, timely, and buzz aligned — designed to tap into the conversations already happening across the luxury space so your listings naturally benefit from heightened visibility.
You can view the full list of themes on page 7 of the 2026 LPI Media Kit.
Why They Matter
Editorial themes will be activated across LPI’s entire omnichannel marketing mix, giving selected listings the opportunity to appear anywhere — including:
• PR round ups and media outreach
• Thought leadership and contributed articles
• Global digital advertising
• Social media campaigns
• The LuxuryPortfolio.com homepage
• Blog features & lifestyle content
• Print placements
• Marketing collateral
• And more!
This is complimentary additional exposure for participating members — no fees, no add ons, no limitations. Just meaningful visibility for the properties that best align with our monthly editorial direction.
Want Your Listings Considered?
We encourage all members to submit relevant listings for editorial review.
You may submit via:
• pr@luxuryportfolio.com or
• the Additional Exposure Form in LuxeXchange
Our team reviews submissions on a rolling basis as each theme window opens.
Why This Matters for You
This new program represents a major expansion of the value you receive as an LPI member. It delivers:
• Smarter, more strategic exposure
• Alignment with global luxury interest trends
• New visibility channels for qualifying listings
• A cohesive, network wide marketing strategy
• Additional promotional power — at no cost to you
We look forward to working hand in hand with you to deliver exceptional, high impact global visibility for your most important listings.
