Two words reframe a man millions watch every week. Third wheel says he is present but not wanted, and anyone who follows the show suddenly sees him differently. The title adds weight with a sad reality, and the reason stays behind the click.
How the packaging works
Title
The title names the person and promises a sad truth about his situation.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail sums his position up in two words over a blurred podcast set.
Remix this
Use this when you reframe someone the audience already knows. Find the two word label that flips how they are seen, and let the title promise the story. The label must be fair or it reads as a hit piece.
The transferable lesson
A two word label can reframe a known person instantly.
