ARLINGTON, Va .– () – E * TRADE Financial Holdings, LLC today announced its return to the Super Bowl with a 30-second spot in the second quarter of the game entitled “Workout”. After the many challenges in 2020, consumers want to take back control in 2021, especially when it comes to their finances.

“With consumers moving at a record pace, there is an emerging segment of investors who want their financial futures in their own hands but may not know exactly how to get started,” said Alice Milligan, general manager of marketing and digital design experience at E * TRADE Financial. “Meeting customers right where they are on their investment journeys and offering intuitive and easy-to-use tools and experiences has never been more important. With this campaign, we want to let the world know that E * TRADE is helping to build solid financial habits and instilling long-term trust for digitally oriented investors. ”

The Super Bowl spot builds on the findings that emerged from E * TRADE’s tracking study with experienced investors.

  • Almost two-thirds (63%) of investors think they could do better financially

  • While more than two in five (42%) of investors say they have spent more time on their portfolios in the past three months, nearly half (49%) say that financial jargon hinders their ability to invest

  • One in three investors (33%) say their financial solution for 2021 is to use online tools more often to make sure they are adequately diversified and on track to meet the goals

“In view of the challenges of the past year, consumers are looking for trust and personal responsibility – especially with regard to their finances,” said Andrea Zaretsky, Managing Director and Chief Marketing Officer of E * TRADE Financial. “We hope to use ‘workout’ to get consumers to step off the bank and take responsibility for their investment lives with E * TRADE. While disrespect has long been part of our brand DNA, this year more than most in the world seeks joy and optimism. With this lens, we want to show investors that they have the resources to boost their finances and stay on track. ”
