Abstract

For a long time, the elderly population may have been relatively overlooked in the development of technology. Nowadays, they express themselves through short video platforms, demonstrating acceptance and use of new technologies, leading to the rise of GrandInfluencers. This study addresses two research questions: firstly, what are the thematic categories of short videos featuring GrandInfluencers? Secondly, what are the communication strategies employed by GrandInfluencers? Ultimately, our research identifies three thematic categories for short videos featuring GrandInfluencers and six communication strategies used by them. The results of this study contribute to defining and delineating the concept of GrandInfluencers for the academic community. Additionally, it provides practical guidance for the industry in creating various types of GrandInfluencers and developing effective communication strategies.
