Sadly this doesn’t surprise me at all.
Same. I’ve had well known recruiters, CCO’s and decision- makers tell me I was old well before I was 50. And almost every one of those were my age or older. In this changing environment, agencies worry most about seeming “out of touch,” with youth culture and tech. The problem is that both of these are so ephemeral that deep knowledge is full-time gig itself. I’ve found that this kind of expertise is most helpful in strategy and production roles but not necessarily in leadership positions, which need to have a higher altitude view. I’m often saddened by the myopia of our industry, we are best when we guide our fears into innovation and adaptation and not just optics.
My favorite was a late 20 something saying they want someone fresh who hasn't done it before so they don't just wash rinse repeat. Someone who will grow into the position. Mind you this was a "head of" role.
F that person, and sounds like you avoided a disaster
50+ consumers are an enormous market - im surprised there arent agencies that specifically cater to this demographic for clients (and staff). Feels like a growth area.
I'm in tech, but currently doing marketing freelance and want to be in house.
