Understanding mature audiences and reaching them where it matters

We understand how mature audiences consume media, search for information and make decisions - and how those behaviours change across life stages.

Our approach combines sophisticated audience targeting with the right media environments and channels, while recognising that major later-life decisions are rarely made alone. We often build dual-audience strategies that reach family members, carers and other influential decision-makers alongside the primary audience.

Work with a marketing agency that understands audiences 60+

People aged 60+ are a diverse audience with different needs, priorities and media habits. Reaching them effectively means looking beyond age to understand what influences their decisions and where they spend their time. It also means representing them authentically. We favour aspirational, lifestyle-led creative that reflects how mature Australians see themselves, rather than relying on outdated stereotypes about ageing.

In my 10+ years working in digital marketing, Connected have been hands down the best digital media agency I have personally worked with. They really understand our business goals, the challenges of our industry, and they have adapted to our changing needs over the years. Plus, they are a good bunch of people that are a joy to work with!

What to expect from Connected

Understand more than age

“60+” is a starting point, not a strategy. We consider life stage, intent, location and other signals to identify the audiences most likely to engage and act.

Reach the wider decision-making circle

For major later-life decisions, family members and carers can play an important role. We build strategies that reach both the primary audience and the people who influence their decisions.

Choose media based on behaviour

We use audience behaviour and campaign data to determine the right mix of search, social, video and traditional media; rather than making assumptions about where mature audiences can be reached.

Frequently asked questions

There’s no single best channel. Mature audiences use a mix of search, social media, online video, television and other traditional media. The right mix depends on the audience, their life stage and what they’re researching or considering.
Age targeting is only one signal. Effective campaigns can combine demographic targeting with location, search intent, interests, online behaviour and first-party data to reach people more likely to be considering your product or service.
For some products and services, yes. Adult children, partners and carers can influence major later-life decisions, particularly in areas such as retirement living, aged care and health. Separate audience strategies allow media and messaging to reflect each person's role in the decision.
Yes. Older Australians increasingly use search, social platforms, streaming services and other digital channels to find information and make decisions. Media planning should be based on actual audience behaviour rather than assumptions that older demographics are primarily reached through traditional media.
Creative should reflect how mature audiences see themselves rather than relying on stereotypes about ageing. Clear messaging, accessible formats and authentic, lifestyle-led imagery can help advertising feel relevant while supporting the needs of the media environment and campaign objective.
