This year, the Super Bowl celebrates a serious milestone: It's turning 50. And who better to celebrate than an organization dedicated solely to helping people over the age of 50?

AARP couldn't miss the perfect opportunity to recognize a big birthday that ties so perfectly with its focus. And while the group won't be running an ad during the game, it will be building some momentum for its new ad campaign around the Big Game.

Barbara Shipley, senior vice president of brand integration at AARP, told Adweek the organization knew it couldn't miss out on the chance to spread its message about the joy of turning 50.
