There are approximately 79 million baby boomers in the U.S., and it’s a pretty even split between men and women. From now until 2030, roughly 10,000 of them will age into Medicare every day. Normally, when we market Medicare to this audience, we imply that retirement is a golden age. We play up to their inherent optimism and suggest ...

Remember trick-or-treating when you were a kid? Going house-to-house in a costume and a mask, with the neighbors trying to guess who you were? We never thought we’d be wearing masks around the neighborhood today (and we have to admit it’s not as fun as we remember). The COVID-19 crisis is raising new questions about identity and privacy. Now that ...

Access deeper insights into your Medicare audience for more effective communications. It seems like once a person hits 65, they’re lumped into one stodgy category: SENIORS. It’s a most unflattering term, and one this group dislikes, by the way. The Medicare audience isn’t one big homogenous group of mature adults. There are different segments that are influenced by backgrounds, education ...

Privacy. Tax loopholes. Monopolies. Hacking. Fake news. What do they all have in common? Big Tech and its influence on current consumer mindsets, the economy and state of the media.
