Marketing something to the 60-something?
Nice work! We love the 60-plus consumer and we’re stoked that you recognise their value too. After all, they’re only the richest group of people in Australia and the country’s fastest-growing demographic!
About Starts at 60 News and Media
Starts at 60 news and media site publishes age-relevant (and spunky!) content for Baby Boomers seven days a week at startsat60.com and across our super-engaged social channels. Starts at 60 News & Media also produces our Starts at 60 Daily eDMs and Starts at 60 Masterclasses – through all of which you can reach over-60s in a trusted, authentic environment.
Starts at 60 News & Media is a powerful premium advertising, programmatic advertising, email and content marketing channel that’s well-respected by brands because it offers stronger performance than most media sites in Australia, with top-notch click-through rates on both content and ads and content dwell times not seen in mainstream media.
We work with brands that want to reach and activate the digital-savvy Boomer through advertising and content marketing campaigns and longer-term partnerships that include a range of awareness, consideration and conversion drivers.
If you want to reach and attract 60-pluses, this is the place to do it.

Need more reasons to work with us?
Here’s a few we know you can’t ignore:
- Everything we do is tailored to the digitally-savvy 60-plus, so any budget spent with us is zero wastage if you’re targeting older Aussies.
- Our average click-through rate on ads is nearly four times higher than the IAB benchmark – plus our users generally don’t use ad-blockers.
- Our audience spends roughly 4.5 minutes reading a single article – that’s a lot of time to get your message across!
