If you are searching for professional speaker or consultant with specialized expertise in marketing to and serving baby boomers and older consumers, Ambrosius is on the “short list” of professionals that were encouraging businesses and nonprofit organizations to embrace new marketing paradigms long before it was trendy. Dick began his motivational advocacy for positive aging in 1981 by forming one of the first U.S. consulting firms to specialize in marketing to middle age and older adults.

Even before discovering the untapped potential of an aging market, he embraced public speaking and as a member of Toastmasters in 1974 and won his very first storytelling competition. Since then, educating, entertaining and telling stories has been his first love…and telling them to older audiences has become special part of his business.

He has helped numerous companies and organizations adapt systems and embrace processes to attract and serve the New Consumer Majority of adults age 45 and older. He has educated, motivated and entertained thousands; conducted focus groups for and consulted with a wide variety of businesses, corporations, nonprofits, associations and government agencies in 49 states.
