Facebook isn’t just for young people anymore

According to a new study by Pew Research Center, 35% of adults 65 and older are using social media. This is a 33% jump from 2005 when only 2% of seniors were on social networks.

This surge in social media accounts could stem from the growth of mobile devices used among seniors. Or maybe grandparents are just trying to keep up and stay in touch with their grandkids!

Whatever the reason, it’s clear that social media doesn’t just belong to the millennials anymore.

Read the full study here.

let’s talk.

Keyes has partnered with BoardroomPR for over 7 years. We started with them to promote the rebranding of a 93-year-old brokerage that needed publicity as the largest family-owned brokerage in Florida. Don, Eric, and Daniel have been part of our team since then, bringing eyes to our company, leadership, realtors and thought leaders in the industry. Just over a year ago we added their social media management and video creation service, and Veronika has absolutely transformed our platforms.
