AARP has long supported its members being regular voters, so when it came to the 2020 elections, AARP Louisiana wanted to make sure voters age 55-plus were ready to make their decisions. In our efforts, it was important to ensure there was a media campaign that included all voters of the age group, including Black and Hispanic communities. To make all of this happen, AARP Louisiana partnered with Octagon Media, an African American, woman-owned, Baton Rouge-based advertising and marketing firm started in 2012 by owner Maranda White.
