RAVE REVIEWS FOR JOANIE’S #1 AMAZON BESTSELLING BOOK!

“Powerful and helpful in my own transformational journey!”

“Joanie Marx has taken a subject that, until now, has remained taboo. I am actually from the generation after the Boomers and I found Joanie’s story to be powerful and helpful in my own transformational journey! The wisdom and insight Joanie brings to some really bottom line issues of self-acceptance and self-love, are priceless tools for those who are committed to a path of self-discovery.”

“New ways for baby boomers to examine their lives.”

“In her trailblazing book, I am proud to say that my colleague, Joanie Marx, not only courageously bares her soul in telling her inspiring story, but she creates new ways for baby boomers to examine their lives. Facelifts, Money and Prince Charming doesn’t pull any punches and exposes the media’s myths about the 55 and over crowd. As her producing partner on the commercial project, The McGranny Secret, I challenged her to share her truth in creating her Drive Thru Make it Your Own® campaign and that is exactly what Joanie has done in her book.  With her own engaging style, Joanie reveals the truth about love, aging and creating one’s own happiness as a baby boomer.”

~ Loren E. Chadima, Award-winning Acting Coach and Producing Partner and Director of The McGranny Secret Campaign

DRIVE-THRU, MAKE IT YOUR OWN ®: 

In late 2012, Joanie began rewriting the story of aging and breaking Baby Boomer myths through the popular character she created called, McGranny. It started out as an idea aimed at changing the perception for how Boomers are portrayed through the media, advertising and entertainment industries.

What unfolded from that initial idea became the Drive-Thru, Make It Your Own® advocacy campaign which turned into Joanie’s #1 Amazon Best Selling book, “Facelifts, Money & Prince Charming: Break Baby Boomer Myths & Live Your Best Life”. 

As Joanie has spoken about publicly and wrote in her book, McGranny isn’t the voice of one person or even a single generation. She says, “The message of the Drive-Thru, Make It Your Own® advocacy campaign reverberates across all generations, most of whom will someday find themselves in the 55 and over crowd.”

To reach the audience this message resonates with Joanie understood the importance of utilizing online and offline platforms that could distribute inspiring, humorous and thought-provoking content to reinforce the idea that Baby Boomers are a powerful and influential force to be admired, respected and genuinely honored.  Three spec-commercials were produced and filmed, showing a new and refreshing way Baby Boomers can be portrayed in advertisements.

These engaging and emotionally relevant commercials helped pave the way for Joanie to not only be brought on as a spokesperson and Baby Boomer advisor for major brands, including a hugely popular campaign for Zyrtec in 2015, but it has helped reshape the image of Baby Boomers around the world.

“You took my words and created a multi-dimensional performance with heart. You brought an abundance of life, passion and enthusiasm to the project.” 

~ Sarah Chase – Lead Copywriter, Walter Thompson, New York ~

“You were a big hit for us.”

~ Howard Lenn – Group Creative Director, Walter Thompson, New York ~
