Jeff Weiss is President and CEO of the Age of Majority marketing agency, which helps brands find a competitive edge with consumers 55 and over.
As a Baby Boomer with over 30 years of marketing experience on both the client and agency sides of the business, Jeff has witnessed the dramatic changes of the aging population. In his experience of working for and with major brands including Pepsi, Gillette, Dannon, KitchenAid and Unilever, he understands why major brands and corporations are missing the boat on the over 55 crowd and he knows what’s necessary to take advantage of this largest and fastest growing segment in business.
“We break the myths and crush the stereotypes and stigmas associated with aging,” Jeff says.
