Ted Hudson is the Director of Digital Marketing at Schlegel Villages, where he leads digital strategy, storytelling, and campaigns that build trust, inspire engagement, and strengthen relationships with residents, families, team members, and communities. With over 20 years at Schlegel Villages, Ted brings a deep, on-the-ground understanding of senior living shaped by a career that began in recreation and evolved into digital marketing and communications leadership. His work focuses on using narrative, content, and partnership-driven outreach to amplify what matters most in senior living: identity, belonging, purpose, and connection.

Ted is a core leader behind #ElderWisdom and the Green Bench initiative, an intergenerational program designed to combat ageism by inviting people of all ages to “take a seat,” listen, and learn from the lived experience of older adults. As part of #ElderWisdom’s 10th anniversary planning, he supports expansion priorities that include bringing the Green Bench to more communities and building strong partnerships across sectors. Ted brings a practical lens to engagement, connecting mission-driven programming with scalable communications and measurable digital impact.
