If you’re at a large agency @CEO, you have the power to push AdAge to get this going! Would be awesome to see!
I will try...I had hoped they would be on this bowl though. Due to the many responses I’m sure it’s topical enough. This forum will add ammunition. I for one persevered for 35 years and never experienced ageism nor did I apply it in hiring. I was obviously very very lucky. I think today finance makes hiring/lay-off decisions (naively) based on salary with no consideration for talent or valued human assets. They trump managers, who need to fight hard against them as much as possible, and not buy the excuse that removing a high salary human means raises/protection for more people.
I will try to raise the issue with AAAA.
I’m 65 and been in Advertising 42 years. Still valued, included and helping lead significant growth opportunities. Been in the C-suite, now I’m not, but value kept me employed. Now it’s gray=gold as I suddenly find myself Yoda. I am totes ready for the 60 over 60 issue if you can find the other 59 people.
Right on! Talent is what counts, always valued by those who matter. Yes, 1 over 60 would be a bit bleak :)
I agree with the original post but I'm preparing myself for the inevitable after I hit 50 regardless.
I get it but make change now. Find a mentor or sponsor over 50 so you can connect with someone at that level.
