Top 100 Life Stages Trends in August

From Escapist Insurance Ads to Affection-Exploring Objects

— September 2, 2019 — Life-Stages
The August 2019 life stages list categorizes the latest innovations in products and services, with regard to the targeted age demographic.

For example, as socializing can become understandably difficult for some as they age, designers like Elena Tamburini attempt to fix this through a four-piece collection that seeks to reconnect elderly couples. Filotea encourages affection through instrumental objects that provide sensory massages, boast hand-holding, and more. For Boomers who are still interesting in testing the waters of entrepreneurship, Alexis Ohanian — the co-founder of Reddit, has a podcast called 'Business Schooled' that seeks to inform and inspire listeners.

For youth, the August 2019 life stages category boasts things like the Caim Alert System which utilizes the voice of a parent to wake kids up from their slumber.
