SUMMARY
E*TRADE's challenge in the midst of a recession? Inform investors they can take control of their finances at E*TRADE. We used our brand ambassador, the E*TRADE Baby, with a combination of online and print, to reassure people they could take control of their finances. We needed to drive more people to etrade.com, increase the number of accounts and make sure people heard our message. Millions of views and visits later, E*TRADE saw tremendous growth in net new brokerage accounts and reached a record number of accounts and increased customer activity.
