A truly beautiful and elegant image. Bravo Art Directors. But what’s the story?
The old are weak? Are you kidding me? Am I missing something?
Who is this message for? The ads seem to depict baby-boomers - who I promise do not resonate with such a message. They never met a time in their life they didn’t reinvent. What it means to be 50 or 60 today is fundamentally different than what it meant to be 50 or 60 years old, just 10 or 20 years ago.
This sort of “social marketing” really gets under my skin. Some of the world’s most talented graphic artists and designers creating stunning imagery, that’s ultimately irrelevant to the cause or issue, with no clear call to action.
