The title makes a big claim about a country selling its soul, which sounds like an exaggeration. The thumbnail then points at one player and says he is the reason. Now a person sits behind the deal, and you need the story that connects them.
How the packaging works
Title
The title frames a dramatic deal between a nation and a brand.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail pins the whole deal on one recognisable player.
Remix this
When your story hangs on one person, point at them and say so without explaining. If your audience recognises the face, recognition does half the pull. A face nobody knows will need a different hook.
