Talking Baby with Tailor and Cat for Super Bowl
The new Super Bowl spots are part of E*TRADE’s 2011 “Investing Unleashed” advertising and marketing campaign developed by its agency of record, Grey New York.
E*TRADE Financial Corp. has announced that E*TRADE Securities LLC has unveiled two new 30-second “Talking Baby” advertisements scheduled to debut during the FOX television network broadcast of Super Bowl XLV:
“Tailor” — scheduled to run during the third quarter — will feature the E*TRADE Baby and his tailor discussing how E*TRADE provides investors the tools, education and support needed to build a solid portfolio for retirement.
“Cat” — scheduled to run immediately following the game — will feature a new feline character interrupting Baby while he illustrates how E*TRADE’s products, strategies, screeners, and 24/7 customer support can help investors navigate tough market conditions.
