GROWING UP

CAN YOU EXPLAIN GROWNUPS AND HOW IT CAME TO BE?

With that knowledge, we decided to start an online magazine for the 50+ audience. It would be a unique content hub, social club and brain-training hub, with great products and service offerings, through which we would inspire people to make the most of every day.

In 2006 it went live and today, it has a community of 115,000 members, of which 57,000 receive a weekly email newsletter.
