25? 
Presenting to a CEO?
You’re way too young. 

50? 
Presenting a concept for TikTok?
You’re way past it. 

Ah, the question of ageism in creative. 

Does the above imply you have to be precisely 37.5 all your life to be the magical age for advertising, copywriting, or creative?

There’s a saying in cricket - play the ball, not the bowler. 

Similarly, when it comes to creative, it's best to value the idea – not the age of the person it’s come from.

There are pros and cons to both youth and wisdom. 

Only one thing remains ageless.

The idea.
