BRAND STRATEGY AND MARKETING FOCUSED ON MIDLIFE.
Helping midlife leaders design turn experience into influence, and organizations build brand ecosystems for the 45+ market.
Why Shift Brand Lab
I founded Shift Brand Lab at 50 — while navigating my own midlife transitions and working with lifestyle brands serving the growing longevity economy.
Somewhere between conversations about menopause, empty nesting, gray divorce and healthy aging, I saw a clear gap: midlife was shifting faster than the brands, businesses and career narratives built around it. At the same time, the 45+ market was becoming one of the most significant and underserved growth opportunities of our lifetime.
Shift Brand Lab is my independent consultancy focused on that intersection. I help experienced leaders translate experience into new platforms, ventures and influence and companies better understand and connect with my generation.
