case studies
Case Study #1: Charles Schwab — Updating TD Ameritrade’s Legacy Content
When Charles Schwab acquired TD Ameritrade, they inherited a library of courses, articles, and videos that no longer matched Schwab’s brand or tone. The content, which included articles from TickerTape magazine, thinkorswim tutorials, and lessons on options trading, needed rewriting, rebranding, and a compliance review before it could be reused and published to the Schwab platform.
Solution:
Retained to review and rewrite video scripts and work with designers to update visuals. Review and edit educational articles and courses for consistency. Coordinate with marketing managers to ensure refurbished content was on brand. Update online courses and check for accuracy. Every piece was cleared through compliance before publishing.
Result:
Identified and corrected factual errors, improved clarity and readability, and published polished content aligned with Schwab’s voice and standards.
Case Study #2: Robinhood — Educating Customers on Options & Futures
Robinhood was preparing to launch index options and futures trading, but their Learn center lacked the nuanced content investors needed. Internal subject-matter experts were tied up with product presentations, so they needed outside help.
Solution:
Rule1120 provided a five-month engagement to:
Edit and rewrite articles, courses, and video scripts.
Collaborate with the design team on video visuals.
Work with compliance and marketing to finalize materials.
Help prepare content for Robinhood’s product launch event.

Case Study #3: Mercer Advisors — Making Financial Guidance Clear & Compliant
Challenge
Mercer Advisors’ financial advisors had deep expertise, but little time to write for clients. Much of the content was overly technical, inconsistent, or lacked compliance polish. The firm needed materials that could both educate advisors internally and engage retail investors externally.
Solution
Rule1120 worked with Mercer’s editorial and social teams to:
Edit advisor-authored commentary for clarity, readability, and compliance.
Provide targeted revisions for both advisor training and client-facing use.
Create original content on timely issues like cybersecurity and tax planning.
Result
Delivered multi-purpose content that was widely read by Mercer’s internal advisors and distributed to clients, strengthening the firm’s reputation for clear, educational, and compliance-ready communication.
Case Study #4: Optionetics — Reframing a Brand in Crisis
Challenge
Optionetics, a financial education company, was facing negative reviews and damaging press that threatened its reputation and profitability. The company needed to regain credibility and reframe its narrative across trusted media outlets.
Solution
Rule1120 collaborated with the firm’s PR agency to:
Develop messaging that emphasized transparency and client focus.
Craft bylined articles, press releases, and executive talking points.
Coordinate outreach to financial media and prepare conference materials.
Result
Secured placements across top-tier publications and trade magazines, which shifted coverage from negative to constructive and reinforced client trust. Helped the firm move from a reactive posture to a proactive communications strategy.
