Jeff Weiss - The Age of Majority
DESCRIPTION
Jeff Weiss will share insights into the opportunity and power of the 55+ market, addressing why older adults are often overlooked or misrepresented in traditional marketing and what brands are missing by ignoring this demographic. He’ll unpack findings from Age of Majority’s research, including how stereotypes about aging distort consumer strategies and how businesses can better design products, campaigns, and experiences that resonate with active agers, people who are living longer, more vibrant lives and hold significant buying power. Jeff will also discuss practical approaches to influencer and persona-based marketing for older audiences, the evolving behaviors and preferences of people 55+, and how companies can innovate to capitalize on unmet needs and shift outdated perceptions. His talk is both strategic and inspiring, aimed at reframing aging as an opportunity rather than a challenge.
