Most communication around ageing and assistive devices tends to focus on loss. Less mobility. Less independence. Less of everything, really. But that’s not how people see themselves. So, we flipped the script. Together with Goed and CM, we didn’t start from what becomes harder, but from what people want to keep doing. Because while ageing may change certain things, it doesn’t change who you are.
The issue was clear: assistive devices are still too often perceived as a final stage. When in fact, they enable the opposite. They help you to keep going. Keep laughing. Keep doing what you love. We didn’t want to explain that difference. We wanted people to feel it.
It all started with a simple thought: doing what you love does you good. That idea became the core of the campaign, evolving into the line ‘Goed doet goed’. Not a bold claim, just something that feels right.
Instead of classic care imagery, we chose moments you wouldn’t immediately expect. A pillow fight on the bed. Three men lounging on the sofa after a night in. A cheeky squeeze of a bum. Flirting on the beach. Small things. Familiar things. With a slight edge.
And it’s precisely that edge that makes the difference. Because it reflects what people genuinely want to hold on to. Not just getting through the day but truly living. For the photography, we collaborated with Jef Boes, who captured these scenes in an honest, human, and unfiltered way.
The assistive devices themselves aren’t put on a pedestal. They’re simply there. Making those moments possible, without taking over.
A campaign that nudges the category in a different direction. Less cautious. Less predictable. More human. Because you don’t suddenly become someone else as you age. You remain who you’ve always been. And yes, that does you good.
