E*TRADE Encourages Financial Fitness Through Super Bowl Campaign

E*TRADE Financial Holdings, LLC today announced its return to the Super Bowl with a 30-second spot during the second quarter of the game, titled “Workout.” After the many challenges faced in 2020, consumers are looking to take back control in 2021, especially when it comes to their finances.

“With consumers engaging with the market at a record pace, there is an emerging segment of investors who are eager to take charge of their financial future but may not know exactly how to get started,” said Alice Milligan, Managing Director, Marketing and Digital Design Experience at E*TRADE Financial. “Meeting customers where they are in their investing journeys and offering intuitive and easy-to-use tools and experiences has never been more important. Through this campaign we aim to let the world know that E*TRADE is here to help build sound financial habits and instill confidence over the long-term for the digitally-inclined investor.”

The Super Bowl spot builds off the insights derived from E*TRADE’s tracking study of experienced investors, which found that while many have engaged with the market this past year, investing continues to confound:

Almost two-thirds (63%) of investors feel they could be doing better financially
While over two in five (42%) investors say they are dedicating more time to their portfolios in the past three months, nearly half (49%) say financial jargon hinders their ability to invest
One out of three investors (33%) say their financial resolution for 2021 is to use online tools more often to make sure they are properly diversified and on track towards meeting goals

“Amid the challenges faced this past year, consumers are seeking confidence and empowerment—especially when it comes to their finances,” said Andrea Zaretsky, Managing Director and Chief Marketing Officer of E*TRADE Financial. “Through ‘Workout,’ we hope to nudge consumers to get off the bench and take charge of their investing lives with E*TRADE. While irreverence has long been a part of our brand DNA, this year more than most the world is looking for joy and optimism. Through this lens we want to show investors they have the resources at their fingertips to kick-start their finances and stay on track.”
