Traditional milestones are made accessible for the post-pandemic Millennial

As a result, the generation previously delaying adult milestones is now seeking ways to fulfill them on their own terms, more specifically, more affordably and conveniently.
Trend Themes
1. Accessible Milestones - Services and apps that offer more affordable and convenient options for traditional adult milestones.
2. Employee Well-being - Employers are offering more inclusive and family-friendly benefits to employees.
3. Rental and Refurbishment - The market trend is shifting towards renting and refurbishing items, from furniture to cars.
Industry Implications
1. Finance - There are opportunities for financial institutions to offer customized financing solutions for affordable milestones and employee well-being benefits.
2. Tech - Developers can create user-friendly apps that make adult milestones, co-parenting, and educational tutoring more accessible and convenient.
3. Home Improvement - Home improvement service providers can offer financing solutions and partner with e-commerce platforms to offer bundled services and rewards programs.

GSK Introduces New Sensodyne Nourish Line with Packaging by Marks
Sensodyne, a popular toothpaste brand owned by GSK, has announced the launch of Sensodyne Nourish, a new line of products geared towards a younger demographic.
The packaging design for the new products was made by design agency Marks, which developed a visual identity that would connect with a millennial audience, who, up until now, have been relatively unengaged with the brand. According to the agency, the new design aims to convey natural beauty and sensorial efficacy, and, as a result, it should appeal to those concerned with wellbeing, health, and the environment.
“The strategy and design process included extensive exploration, trying to push the brand in ways that it had never been pushed before, architecturally, visually, and in tone of voice," said Kashif Amin, associate creative director at Marks, in a recent press statement.

Industry Implications
1. Consumer Packaged Goods - CPG companies can use design strategies to create products that are appealing to younger generations, which can increase brand engagement and sales.
2. Health and Beauty - The trend towards natural ingredients and an emphasis on promoting health and wellbeing can allow health and beauty companies to create products that resonate with consumers of all ages.
3. Design and Creative - Design agencies can leverage their expertise in creating visually interesting and experiential packaging designs to attract businesses looking to launch innovative products in the market.
