6 FEB 2026 · In this episode, Sue Benson sits down with Debbie Marshall, Managing Director of the Silver Marketing Association.
Debbie explores why ageism is still considered the "last acceptable taboo" in society and how she's campaigning for ethical marketing to the mature consumer. She addresses the significant disconnect between the wealth of the over-50s and the lack of marketing investment they receive, and highlights findings from the "50 Shades of Silver" report.
This is a vital conversation that challenges the industry to look past the "wrinkly hand brigade" , with Debbie advising that to truly reach this audience and find that four-leaf clover, you must "put yourself in clover... if marketers don't surround themselves with people of the age group to whom they're marketing, they're never going to get it right".
10 DEC 2025 · Sue Benson sits down with Jacynth Basset, CEO and Founder of Ageism Is Never In Style. In this inspiring discussion, Jacynth tells us how she is disrupting ageist attitudes across all global industries and championing an age-inclusive approach to business. She addresses the vital case against siloing generations and explains why taking an intergenerational approach is key to attracting older consumers without alienating younger ones.
Jacynth lays out the undeniable commercial argument for age-positive marketing , emphasising that ignoring the longevity economy is a refusal to acknowledge the reality of the global consumer base. This is a dynamic conversation that challenges the industry to rethink its reliance on buzzwords like "ageless," which, as Jacynth explains, "still means age-less. It's got ageist connotations to it".
20 OCT 2025 · For our third episode Sue Benson sits down with Helen Hope, a marketing expert with a diverse "squiggly career" that includes launching two businesses and holding senior brand roles at Fraser's Group and M Brown.

Helen's final advice to marketers - be customer-first, speak into their needs, and always ask: "Why should they care?".
