SMASH Recap! Upcoming Podcasts!
SENIOR LIVING MARKETING BLOG
11/11/25
By Larry Williams, Director of Growth Solutions, Unlock Health
Senior Living Podcast:
Host Larry Williams engages senior living industry experts in candid and insightful conversations.
Join Larry and his guests as they explore the latest marketing trends moving the industry forward.
In this piece, Larry Williams, host of The Move In Senior Living podcast, shares thoughts, experiences, news, and more from the 2025 SMASH conference.
Yes, of course. There were incredible sessions on AI.
Just some of the AI-related topics that were explored:
- How AI is making marketing smarter
- How technology can personalize engagement across the entire family decision journey
- How to scale high-performing teams and stay adaptable in unpredictable times
But the big takeaway?
The future of senior living marketing lies in the blend of smart data, sharper storytelling, and AI that amplifies, not replaces, human connection.
What stood out to me most wasn’t just the tech or the tactics; it was the constant emphasis on experience. Everyone was talking about it.
What experience are we truly creating for families and future residents? From the first touchpoint in their buying journey to the move-in process and life in the community, every moment matters.
So, what's it all about?
At the end of the day, it’s not about checking technology boxes.
It’s about designing an experience that's personal, meaningful, and human.
Here are the guests who joined us and recorded thought-proving episodes. Watch for these to be released in the coming months:
Unlock Health Proudly Sponsors Brooke B. Sellas’ Keynote at SMASH
To wrap things up, I was proud that Unlock Health served as the keynote sponsor for Brooke B. Sellas’ session at SMASH, a moment that perfectly captured the spirit of this year’s conference.
Brooke’s message was one we all needed to hear: the future of marketing isn’t just about posting content; it’s about creating connections.
In a world driven by zero-click content and AI-powered search, the old “post more, reach more” mantra simply doesn’t cut it. The real opportunity lies in conversations, in using social listening to uncover the signals that matter: what people want, what they care about, and when they’re ready to act.
Her message is essential as we continue evolving the narrative of senior living. Families don’t want campaigns; they want connection, compassion, and genuine human engagement.
You can hear my full conversation with Brooke on The Move In Senior Living Marketing podcast.
SMASH 2025 reminded us why Unlock Health does what we do: to help senior living organizations connect smarter, listen more deeply, and create experiences that truly matter. As marketing becomes more digital and data-driven, staying human isn’t just an advantage; it’s the difference-maker.
You might have noticed, we recorded a few podcasts.
