Commercial brands need real people at every stage of life.
Advertising does not only need twenty-year-old fashion models.
Healthcare, financial services, tourism, real estate, hospitality, insurance, education, home services, outdoor brands, and local businesses need adults who look credible in the roles their customers actually live.
That creates opportunities for mature adults and real-people talent who may never have considered themselves "models."
