Private Jet Media has unveiled PJM Lifestyle in the Middle East with a yacht gathering attended by media agencies, multinational brands and government representatives. Partnering with Beno Yachts, the initiative extends luxury brand presence into elite maritime and lifestyle experiences, reflecting evolving high-net-worth consumer behaviours and the region’s growing luxury travel hub.
Private Jet Media has taken its next bold step in redefining luxury brand engagement with the launch of PJM Lifestyle in the Middle East. The unveiling, staged aboard a yacht in partnership with Beno Yachts, brought together representatives from media agencies, multinational corporations and government entities, signalling the company’s intent to deepen its footprint in one of the world’s most dynamic luxury markets.
The new offering is designed to allow luxury brands to extend their presence into the rarefied spheres of super yachts and elite lifestyle experiences, where high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) naturally live, travel and make decisions. By creating touchpoints in these exclusive environments, PJM Lifestyle positions itself as a conduit between brands and the affluent consumers who increasingly seek seamless integration of luxury across every aspect of their lives.
The launch event, aptly titled From Sky to Sea: The New HNWI Journey, explored the intersection of private aviation, luxury lifestyle and maritime experiences. It was a thematic continuation of Private Jet Media’s longstanding expertise in aviation advertising, now expanded to encompass the broader lifestyle ecosystem of the ultra-wealthy. Attendees were introduced to PJM Lifestyle’s vision, which emphasises the cultural influences, consumer behaviours and evolving expectations shaping the choices of HNWIs in the region.
The partnership with Beno Yachts adds a tangible dimension to this strategy. Beno’s portfolio includes kiosks at Madinat Jumeirah, Mandarin Oriental venues and Jebel Ali, as well as lounges at JBR, Marsa Al Arab and J1 Beach. These venues, already frequented by affluent travellers and residents, provide brands with multiple opportunities to embed themselves in the guest journey. In addition, Beno’s fleet of nine yachts offers a floating stage for brand activations, while its quarterly publication extends the reach into print, ensuring a multi-channel presence that resonates with discerning audiences.
For brands, the appeal lies in the ability to connect with HNWIs in environments that are both aspirational and natural. Unlike traditional advertising spaces, super yachts and exclusive lounges are settings where affluent consumers are at ease, receptive and immersed in the lifestyle that luxury brands seek to embody. PJM Lifestyle’s proposition is therefore not simply about visibility, but about relevance—placing brands in the very contexts where decisions about luxury consumption are made.
The event itself reflected this ethos. Conversations among stakeholders from communications, corporate and public sectors highlighted the region’s continued emergence as a hub for luxury travel and innovation. Themes such as evolving mobility concepts, the blending of aviation and maritime experiences, and the shifting expectations of affluent consumers were central to the day’s discussions. The consensus was clear: the Middle East is not only a destination for luxury, but increasingly a laboratory for new models of engagement with the world’s wealthiest individuals.
Private Jet Media’s expansion into lifestyle is also a response to broader global trends. HNWIs are no longer defined solely by their assets, but by their pursuit of experiences that reflect status, taste and cultural awareness. The convergence of aviation, hospitality and maritime leisure is emblematic of this shift. By curating opportunities for brands to be present in these spaces, PJM Lifestyle is tapping into the experiential economy that has become central to luxury consumption.
The choice of a yacht as the launch venue was symbolic. It underscored the transition from sky to sea, from the exclusivity of private jets to the intimacy of maritime journeys. It also reflected the seamlessness that HNWIs expect in their lifestyles: the ability to move effortlessly between different domains of luxury, with brands accompanying them at every step.
For the Middle East, the timing is significant. The region has invested heavily in positioning itself as a global hub for luxury travel, with developments in aviation, hospitality and maritime infrastructure reinforcing its appeal. The presence of government representatives at the launch highlighted the alignment between private initiatives like PJM Lifestyle and broader national strategies to attract and retain affluent visitors.
The partnership with Beno Yachts further strengthens this alignment. Beno’s established presence in key luxury destinations ensures that PJM Lifestyle’s offerings are embedded in the daily rhythms of the region’s elite. From kiosks in high-end hotels to lounges in waterfront developments, the integration of brand touchpoints across multiple settings reflects a holistic approach to engagement.
The quarterly publication adds another layer, providing a curated platform for brands to communicate directly with HNWIs. In an age where digital saturation can dilute messaging, print retains a certain gravitas, particularly when positioned within the luxury ecosystem. It offers a space for storytelling, for brands to articulate their heritage, values and vision in a format that resonates with discerning readers.
Ultimately, PJM Lifestyle represents a strategic evolution for Private Jet Media. It is a recognition that luxury is no longer confined to singular experiences, but is defined by the interplay of multiple domains—aviation, hospitality, maritime and beyond. By creating a framework that allows brands to be present across these domains, the company is positioning itself as a partner in shaping the journeys of HNWIs.
The launch event was not just a showcase of offerings, but a statement of intent. It signalled Private Jet Media’s commitment to innovation, to expanding the boundaries of brand engagement, and to aligning with the cultural and behavioural shifts that define the luxury market today. For attendees, it was an invitation to imagine new possibilities, to see how brands can move seamlessly with consumers from sky to sea, from one sphere of exclusivity to another.
As the sun set over the yacht gathering, the symbolism was hard to miss. Private Jet Media had charted a new course, one that reflects both the aspirations of HNWIs and the ambitions of the Middle East as a luxury hub. PJM Lifestyle is not just an extension of a brand—it is an articulation of a journey, one that promises to redefine how luxury is experienced, shared and remembered.
