Intransit is a strategic consultancy that enables brands to lead with age-inclusivity.
About Intransit
We are a collection of thinkers and doers challenging the marketing status quo around aging. From strategists, to economists, to anthropologists, we thrive on illuminating the cultural shifts that define longevity, life stage, and vital aging.
We passionately believe that companies can win by doing more to tap into the experiences of the 50+ individuals, an underserved but highly powerful segment that will represent more than 59% of the global GDP by 2050.
We are definitively practical, crafting and implementing strategies for companies and brands to drive growth.
Why Age Inclusivity
The Middle Plus Economy is on the Rise
We are in the midst of a seismic demographic and economic shift.
It’s a known fact that the world is getting older, with the number of adults over 50 beginning to eclipse younger adults. Simultaneously, older adults command outsized financial power, especially in the age of the “great wealth transfer.”
Now healthier, wealthier, and with more middle years to life, these adults actively reject outdated stereotypes and refuse to follow traditional rules. Second, third, and fourth acts are commonplace now. Older adults are equally likely to take gap years, similar to their younger cohorts. The traditional 3 stage - life is a relic of the past.
Engagement of 50+ adults will unpin progress and drive the future.
For economies, the workforce contribution of middle-aged and older adults at work is a must for long-term sustainability. For companies, winning these consumers is vital for achieving longer-term growth paths. Actively engaging these individuals is a non-negotiable imperative for future success.
How to Win: Break Bad Habits
Reject the young vs. old paradigm.
These demographic trends are well known, but why does society still favor the young? Recruiter bias selects younger candidates despite the proven track record of middle-plus adults in the workplace. Marketers direct only 15% of marketing and advertising toward older people despite their share of wealth. Social erasure excludes older adults as they age, hiding their positive contribution to communities.
We are overwhelmed with 40 under 40 lists, but now is the time to stop and recognize the contribution of the middle-plus market.
Start with stage, not age.
Companies are poised to become more relevant and grow markets by recognizing and catering to the different life stages that middle and older adults cross through. Brands that rise to this occasion will play a deeper and more connected role in consumers' lives while becoming naturally age-inclusive.
