The Business Case for Marketing to Older Consumers, with Orlaith Carmody.
On Tuesday 22nd of February, Orlaith Carmody joined us to host “The Business Case for Marketing to Older Consumers”
There are approximately 1m people living in Ireland today over the age of 60. That number will have doubled by 2051.
Age Friendly Ireland believes that this group controls up to 50% of all consumer spending, but attracts only 10% of marketing spend. What do advertisers propose to do about this gap and obvious opportunity?
The workshop will help advertisers to understand the scale of the worldwide ageing demographic, the impact on society, and why they should be targeting more of their spend at an increasingly active and affluent consumer base.
