Advertising & Marketing to Older Consumers | Bluesoup | Bluesoup

Rethinking the grey market.

Ageing is inevitable, but stereotypes in marketing to the elderly shouldn't be. It needs rethinking.


Unleash the grey market's full potential.

14 million Baby Boomers don’t take kindly to being portrayed as confused technophobes who only wear beige. 80% of today’s older generation believe they are stereotyped by how over-65s are represented in advertising, while 60% feel that media images are ageist. It doesn’t have to be like that.

Advertising to older consumers is full of potential. They have a zest for life, ambitions to fulfil, and memories to make. They embrace new technology, and they also have significant spending power. Most importantly, the older audience appreciate being represented with authenticity, empathy, and humour.

So, does your grey market advertising conform to lazy category norms? Or does it lack in emotion or humour and talk down to your customers? If the answer is yes, you need to rethink how you market to seniors.

As specialists in grey marketing, we tailor our approach each time, using memorable & emotive advertising. Combining traditional media with targeted and accountable digital marketing, we connect with your brand with your audience wherever they are.

Great brands don’t think alike, and neither do we.
