Welcome to the plus side of aging.We're 3rd3rd branding, marketing and communications.Aging positive, status quo negative and here to rebrand the third-third of life.

Newsflash: Nobody’s excited about buying senior care.

Silver-haired couples in tandem bathtubs. Restaurant service by people wearing blue latex gloves. This is not the life folks dream of in their third chapter, and they’re not buying it. Literally.

That’s why we don’t “sell” senior care at all. Instead, we lean into what each community offers that future residents would look forward to in their next stage of life. The result is increased census, residents who truly fit into their communities and organizations that grow with purpose.

3rd3rd Newsflash

Good company.

We market to seniors people.

We have a radical theory that you should talk to your audience like people, no matter their age. People who make buying decisions based on what they like, not what year they were born.

This philosophy allows us to honor the truth of getting older, while also tapping into what excites people of every age: the potential, opportunity, ideas and inspiration that lies ahead.

That shift in philosophy leads to a shift in revenue.

Age is not a number. Results on the other hand…

Hillcrest’s ELEVATE Magazine

When 3rd3rd branded Hillcrest as the “Un-Retirement” community, it opened the door to all sorts of creative projects that broke the senior living mold. The latest is Elevate, a quarterly lifestyle magazine for people over 60. Elevate elegantly promotes Hillcrest’s brand values through expert-written wellness articles and artful photography, without overtly “advertising” senior living. This tactic works well in brand awareness and lead generation, especially for the crowd who would never consider 60+ community life.
