Generation Jones Expert to Speak On Marketing to Baby Boomers
Last Chance to Register for LiveWire: The Summit
SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 27, 2008 --
Jonathan Pontell, widely-acclaimed generation jones expert, social
commentator, and marketing consultant, will speak at this year's
LiveWire: The Summit. This year's Summit, held June 2-3, 2008 at The
Grand Hyatt in San Francisco, brings together experts with insights and
expert information on marketing to Baby Boomers.
Pontell is credited with identifying and coining the name for “Generation
Jones,” the lost generation between the Baby
Boomers and Generation X, and America's largest generation at 53
million. A frequent guest on national TV and radio talk shows, he “connects
the dots” between new political, business and
cultural trends for organizations ranging from top Fortune 500 companies
to The White House.
“Generation Jones, born between 1954 and 1965
includes the most populous birth years in U.S. history. Jonesers have
been mistakenly lumped in with Baby Boomers because of mutually high
birth rates, but generational personalities stem from shared formative
experiences, not head counts,” notes Pontell. “Generation
Jones has been the subject of extensive major media attention, and is
now being targeted as a distinct cohort by numerous Fortune 500
companies.” Summit attendees will hear Pontell
discuss the distinct consumer behavior, experiences, values and
attitudes of Generation Jones.

consumers 40+, holds its seventh annual LiveWire: The Summit (formerly
titled Beyond the Numbers). Business owners looking for information on
marketing to baby boomers will gain access to a vibrant collection of

notes Lori Bitter, president of JWT BOOM. “Jonathan's
insights into ‘Generation Jones' and his
thought leadership will add tremendous value to this year's presentation.”
Each year the Summit explores fresh topics that speak to new data and
evolving marketplace trends. This year's conference will explore Baby
Boomer shopping, social networking, and successful tactics for marketing
to Baby Boomer men. Attendees will walk away with proprietary research
and strategies for turning valuable information into actionable sales
tools.
"As the largest population segment in the United States, Baby Boomers
wield tremendous power over our economy and culture,”
continues Bitter. “The LiveWire Summit is
vital to communications professionals who are trying to wade through the
noise and confusion that surround the topic of reaching these 40+
consumers.” Participants will have access to
new research and fresh insights that will help them understand this
lucrative Baby Boomer demographic, as well as what Baby Boomers want and
expect from social and traditional media.
Key research will be unveiled at this year's Summit, including the
findings of this year's Boomer Heartbeat study, conducted by JWT BOOM in
partnership with BoomerEyes/C&R Research. This in-depth study explores
the ever-changing pulse of the Baby Boomer demographic, including their
views and perceptions on life, work, health and wellness, travel,
technology and finances.
