As an interactive agency focused on marketing to boomers and seniors, our study of the evolving mature markets and digital media is generally fascinating, sometimes surprising, and occasionally a little silly. We are pleased to share and hope you'll do the same. Happy reading.
Abstract:
Marketers are missing the boat when it comes to breaking out one specific and essential group: Baby Boomers. Too often marketers rely on long-standing assumptions about this group that are just plain wrong, and they apply weak marketing rules that are even less applicable when targeting people who are entering or already in retirement. Boomers act much differently than the people who retired even three decades ago. They are not activated to engage like other segments today. We’ve seen that they are not as brand-concerned, but are much more value-oriented. And that’s just not as sexy to marketers.

The right word to describe work for Boomers? Try 'Work' Are the generational differences that large? http://t.co/PE3bU61O
