HALMEK up Ambassadors: A New Era for Women Over 50

In an age where digital presence is crucial, HALMEK, known as Japan’s leading magazine for women over 50, is stepping into a new initiative with the launch of 'HALMEK up Ambassadors'. This new organization aims to harness the power of social media to share authentic voices from women in this demographic, fostering community building and shared experiences.

Background of HALMEK up Ambassadors

Recent trends indicate that there has been a rapid increase in social media usage among women aged 50 and older. According to HALMEK’s research, the usage rate is projected to exceed 41.5% by 2025, approximately 1.75 times higher than it was in 2022. Moreover, nearly 90% of women in their 50s and around 80% of those in their 60s reported having made purchases influenced by their social media engagements. This paradigm shift signifies that social media has evolved beyond just an information-sharing platform to a space that fosters connections and purchasing decisions among older women.

Despite this growth, there remains a notable lack of voices from women over 50 in the digital space, with many users expressing a desire to connect with relatable experiences. HALMEK identifies this gap as an opportunity and has created the 'HALMEK up Ambassador' program. This initiative invites mature women to share their stories and perspectives, thus expanding the circle of empathy within their generation.

What is HALMEK up?

HALMEK up operates under the mantra, "Every day should be enjoyable, today and tomorrow." It serves as a web media platform focusing on insights and advice for older women, aiming to empower them through shared knowledge. The program comprises women over 50 who resonate with this concept, especially those who are effective in conveying their messages on social media across various fields like beauty, cooking, and lifestyle.

HALMEK up Ambassadors will engage with brands and the HALMEK group to participate in activities that resonate with their peers, such as:
- Experiencing products that epitomize the concept of making every day enjoyable and sharing authentic feedback regarding their appeal and usability.
- Participating in articles and videos for HALMEK up, including brainstorming and discussion sessions with the editorial team.
- Appearing on 'HALMEK TV', showcasing their experiences to a broader audience.

The goal is to cultivate an environment where authentic voices can flourish, creating a positive feedback loop that inspires women in this age group. Through these contributions, the ambassadors aim to spread the belief that each day can bring enjoyment, reaching a wider audience that resonates with this sentiment.
