OVERVIEW
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Let’s pay attention to the Baby Boomers.
How often do you notice missed opportunities in advertising? A group of people that do not get included in the marketing as they aren’t the obvious choice. They will need to be marketed separately? This campaign will do just that.
You will look at the Nintendo Switch's advertising campaign that pays attention to the Baby Boomers. We will pick Nintendo's new game console - Switch and create a campaign specifically for Baby Boomers. The Baby Boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They're currently between 56-74 years old (71.6 million in the U.S.)
TARGET AUDIENCE
Baby Boomers ages 56-74, Retirement, Average revenue 75K.
