As part of the month-long campaign, GenM is highlighting words not typically associated with midlife and menopause—like energetic, optimistic, erotic, authentic, athletic and unapologetic. With the campaign, GenM brings attention to its new universal symbol, the [MTick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocado-retail-and-genm), which simplifies the task of finding a trusted, diverse selection of [menopause-friendly products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canesmeno) when shopping. Leading brands and retailers are adopting the MTick to empower women through this natural transition of life, and devoting store space to empowered menopause experiences. In the past, women have been left in the dark during menopause. Now, a new generation is reclaiming the narrative, sharing their experiences and advocating for better support and understanding. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 30% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Inclusive-menopause Campaigns:** Marketing initiatives like GenM's campaign break stereotypes by portraying menopause as a vibrant and empowering life stage. - **Menopause-friendly Products:** The introduction of the MTick certification makes it easier for consumers to identify and trust products specifically designed to support menopausal women. - **Retailer-brand Collaborations:** Leading brands and retailers collaborating to create dedicated menopause-friendly sections spotlight the importance of supportive environments for menopausal women. ### Who This Affects Most - **Health and Wellness:** Focused on holistic support, the health and wellness industry is innovating to address the specific needs of menopausal women through targeted products and services. - **Retail:** Retailers are transforming store layouts and product offerings to cater to the unique needs of menopausal women, enhancing their shopping experiences. - **Marketing and Advertising:** By leveraging inclusive campaigns, the marketing and advertising industry is reshaping narratives around menopause, promoting a more positive societal perception. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Menopause-Friendly Online Aisles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocado-retail-and-genm.md) - [Menopause-Friendly Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matalan-menopause.md) - [Celebratory Midlife Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripes-beauty-hotter-than-ever.md) - [Empowering Menopause Magazines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-menopause-edit.md) - [Menopause Wellness Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/own-your-pause.md) - [Menopause-Friendly Oral Care Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colgate-and-genm.md) - [Menopause-Mindful Workplace Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womens-health-month.md) - [Perimenopause Preparation Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-invisible-period.md) - [Menopause Wellness Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-with-tmi.md)
