Charles Schwab is a pioneer in the discount brokerage business and widely recognized as the original ‘Main Street vs. Wall Street’ challenger brand. 

As part of an ongoing campaign to reignite Schwab's challenger brand fame, we were tasked with driving consumer engagement in social media.

It was our great honor to discover and share the story of United States Naval Aviator Keith Roudebush, and we shot part of the film about his incredible journey aboard a ship he flew combat missions from during The Vietnam War.

"Investing is an act of optimism and Schwab was built for the optimists who believe tomorrow will be better than today."

The 'Own Your Tomorrow' campaign reinvigorated the brand, and Schwab went from lagging to leading financial services firm within three years.

 

  • Schwab was ranked highest in investor satisfaction.

  • Schwab was rated the most trusted financial services brand in the US.

  • Schwab's client assets increased by 36% to $7.98 trillion.
