Who We Are

Strategists & researchers with a track record of turning human insight into business impact

We don't just study consumers.  We study change.

Morning Light Strategy began with a focus on older adults, but we quickly uncovered something bigger: the real insight comes from the moments that shift lives, at any age.  We help brands see those moments clearly and act on them, whether they're life stage transitions, cultural shifts, or changes in behavior that open the door to growth.

Any kind of life change, at any age, introduces opportunities for brands and retailers.  We saw that brands weren't paying attention to all of the new experiences and life events that happen after age 50.  We launched Morning Light Strategy to help them change that.

How We Work
