11 Ways To Use Content Marketing For Baby Boomers
One of the great things about content marketing and Product Placement is that it will work for any age range, from Gen Z, Millennials, Gen Xer to Baby Boomer. And it's worked all the way back to the first days of film and TV. Remember James Dean and his combing his hair? Well, that comb appeared in Rebel Without A Cause and the sales of Ace combs increased - but so did cigarettes when he starred in 1956 Giant and showed the 'glamorous' side of smoking to be the cool kid.
