My 2¢
The boomers are blooming and U.S. TV networks are
taking notice. The nets believe they can squeeze another
good 20 years out of their 70 percent disposable income!
I
t is said that U.S. TV networks have finally discovered
the over-50 crowd. In actuality, the advertising agencies
and their clients have realized that aging boomers (and
in particular the 55-to-64-year-old alpha boomers) make
large consumer purchases, and the TV nets are adapting
accordingly. First, by increasingly removing programming
decisions from the network sales division (which tends to
favor the 18-49 viewers) and second by bringing in aging
actors such as Robin Williams and Mark Harmon (both 62),
Ted Danson (66), Tom Selleck (69) and Beau Bridges (72).
NBC has among the youngest stars, James Spader (54). But
this trend isn’t new; The New York Times detected it in 1992
when it wrote that both ABC and NBC were changing focus
with programs for older viewers and that, while previously
the network sales division prevailed, “nowadays the
programmers are taking over.”
It is estimated that by 2017 boomers will control 70 percent
of the U.S.’s disposable income. In contrast, the so-called
“millennials” or “Generation Y”
(those born between 1982 and
2004) are making fewer key
purchasing decisions, watch
less traditional TV and when
they do, skip commercials.
A recent survey by Texasbased Parks Associates shows
how younger consumers are
increasingly choosing OTT
over broadcast television.
to have time to watch television and, when
they do, they tend to skip commercials.
And for all of that, advertisers were
paying premiums to reach them. Finally
they said, “Who needs it?”
In addition, today’s boomers are
drastically different from previous
older generations. Researchers agree
that, nowadays, older people are
healthier, more active and much more
likely to still be in the workforce. After
all, why should they retire when — with
the kids out of the house — they have all
the time in the world to devote to a career,
without being nagged by their spouses to
come home for family dinner?
Aging

in particular the
55-to-64-year-old alpha
boomers) make large

tap into their large disposable income pool.
The notion that older viewers were not valuable to
advertisers came about years ago for two reasons: The
generation that grew up during hard times like the
Depression and WWII remained frugal during their old
age; and baby boomers comprised most of the TV audience
(hence youth-oriented series of the 1970s such as Happy
Days and Charlie’s Angels on ABC). Young adults now are too
busy with their careers, raising children and/or socializing
Naturally, television can still attract young audiences, but
with programs that are not for the mass audience, such as
MTV’s 16 and Pregnant (now in its fifth season), and Teen
Mom, which are so popular among young viewers that they
have actually substantially reduced the birthrate among
U.S. teenagers.

SSA Celebrates 25 Years In Showbiz PR
T
his month, the Los Angeles-based SSA Public Relations celebrates its 25th anniversary. Established by Steve
Syatt in 1989, SSA has served the global entertainment community ever since. “SSA’s clients are among the
most prestigious international companies engaged in television, film and digital production and worldwide
distribution,” according to Syatt (pictured with his son David).
He launched his agency after serving in senior executive communications and marketing roles with entertainment
studios both in New York City and Hollywood. Syatt also worked in media as a broadcast journalist for radio and TV
stations in Los Angeles and Boston.
In addition to representing global trade media for its clients, SSA handles the
consumer media rollout of new series for broadcast, cable, satellite and digital media.
SSA also has experience in kids’ entertainment, having handled the U.S. launch
of major children’s brands, while the firm’s consumer media work encompasses
primetime series, movies and documentaries.
The agency also works in direct response television (DRTV), acting as the public
relations home for several prominent players in DRTV, including infomercial marketers
such as Canada’s Thane Direct; DRTV production companies, including Santa Ana,
California-based Script to Screen (which has over 600 infomcercial campaigns under its
belt); DRTV industry monitoring
resource The IMS Report and
the annual Response Expo
Conference and Exhibition.
For Syatt, the representation of
direct response heavyweights
has significant meaning for its
full roster of entertainment
clients, as direct to consumer
— through the advent of
social media and the Internet
— has evolved into a major
component for entertainment
suppliers. Increasingly, TV,
film and particularly digital
content producers are zeroing
in
on
direct-to-consumer
distribution channels as part
of their business development,
and SSA’s experience in direct
response has helped several of its
entertainment clients navigate
D2C opportunities.

Small_1
Column
As SSA enters its next
quarter century, Syatt’s son,
David, has taken the helm
of the agency’s international
trade media division. David
Syatt began working with his
father as a college intern while
studying communications at the
University of California, Irvine.
He joined the agency full-time
after graduating in 2008.
“We are proud to salute
our clients who have come to
entrust their public relations
to SSA throughout our 25
years and our many media
associates,” concluded Syatt.
NEM: The
Balkans’ Own
TV Market
D
ubrovnik, Croatia, is
preparing to welcome
for the second time the
television industry from the
Balkans with an impressive
lineup of speakers.
From June 10-13, 31 TV
executives will tackle 11 topics
ranging from binge-viewing
to TV advertising at the New
Europe Market (NEM). Among
the panelists are executives
from various regions of the
world, including Bruce Tuchman
and Marco Frazier from AMC/
Sundance Channel Global;
Daniela Matei, CEO Nordics and
the Balkans for FremantleMedia;
Antony Root, EVP of HBO
Europe and Bartosz Witak, VP of
CEE and Israel for Viacom.
Housed at Dubrovnik’s Sun
Gardens and Radisson Blue

the Zagreb-based Mediavision,
a PR, marketing and event
planning company founded by
Sanja Bozic-Ljubicic. Last year
NEM registered 250 companies.
The Croatian coastal town of
Dubrovnik is well served by an
international airport, which is
15 km from the center of town.
