CHARLES SCHWAB AIMS TO ENHANCE CONSUMER ENGAGEMENT THROUGH NATIVE ADVERTISING
Traditionally, advertising is designed to interrupt and get consumers to pay attention to what we have to say instead of reading/watching what they are originally interested in. Expanding on this traditional model to engage today’s consumers, Charles Schwab started testing a new approach: leverage branded, editorial content in paid media to enhance consumers’ experience and engage them with the brand. Charles Schwab will share its learnings in distributing branded content, and how it works compared to traditional digital advertising.
