Although the monthly runs features on still-cool celebs like Carly Simon and Mick Jagger, it's crammed with ads for retirement properties and orthopedically therapeutic furniture. In order to combat that perception, Saga is planning a brand overhaul designed by ad agency Doner Cardwell Hawkins. "It will stress our core strengths to a new generation," says Bull, but beyond that, no one at Saga will talk about the campaign until it kicks off later this year...
