Facebook isn’t just for young people anymore

May 19, 2016

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.

Many thanks to the more than 60 PR professionals who attended yesterday’s Goldcoast PR Council meeting on AI Tips for PR – and special thanks to the presenters from Boardroom PR: Daniel Benjamin, Mara Gordon and Ashley Kearns.

- Gary Schweikhart

Co-Founder, Goldcoast PR Council

The “dot com” industry has been very competitive and Boardroom’s media savvy and persistence cut through the clutter and got our company featured in the national media, including the Nightly Business Report. Boardroom really delivers.

- Anita Buyer

CEO, Setnor Byer Insurance & Risk

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.

BoardroomPR worked as our strategic marketing department to transform our social media, get us in the news and launch a influencer campaign that has grown audience and engagement. The team was always on top of the game, coming up with creative ideas to promote PoolCandy and get us results, getting featured on multiple Top 10 lists.

I am not sure where our non-profit would be without BoardroomPR, but I do know that with their great public relations services and guidance we are able to raise several million dollars in private funding every year! No South Florida charity or corporation should be without them!

- Sarah Franco

Fantastic partners! They have been a key component in our growth at RKW Residential.

- Joya Pavesi

When we looked to partner with a public relations firm more than 15 years ago, we chose BoardroomPR because they understood our business and vision. Their strategic and thoughtful approach to our PR campaign has helped us build our brand, locally and nationally.

- Ruth Trezevant

Ruth Cyrus, VP Marketing, Oasis Outsourcing

BoardroomPR has done a tremendous job creating and building a brand for our upscale real estate developments. There’s no one better at delivering national and international press – and creating and executing themed events that draw top luxury brokers and targeted buyers to our projects.
