I work in advertising, and we were having this discussion: How old does this guy look? What age/demographic/social demographic group does he represent/target/appeal to? Would you consider him handsome/good looking? PS I am just referring to the guy--not the background, not the particular clothes, not the particular stage or setting, just the guy. Any advice would help

Looks about fifty.

Useful for targeting fiftysomethings.

I don't mean to be harsh on this, but he's a decent looking guy. I'd say about 45ish (maybe a smidge younger). I think he would do really well in an ad for a Snuggie or some infomercial, but not more than that (Print, etc). He kind of looks like a really nice dad with kids that are about 10-15.

The more I study it, his eyes (dark eyebrows) look younger than his hair (balding and gray) and face. If he lost some weight in his face, he would look 5 years younger.

That being said, not a bad looking guy. Hope that helps.

--45


What age/demographic/social demographic group does he represent/target/appeal to?

--Looks upper middle class

-- I would say he lives in a major city or surrounding area due to his grooming.

--Seeing his clothing he isn't US, probably Swiss, German. (maybe Canadian )

Would you consider him handsome/good looking?

---Better than average but not an advertisers ideal of handsome.

PS I am just referring to the guy--not the backgro


OK, so tell us who he his and his status....
