What to study

Expectation Violation

Think more irrationally breaks the rules you were taught, which is exactly why it needs explaining. The job title underneath stops it reading as nonsense, because a man running Ogilvy UK should know better. Wrong advice from a proven expert demands a hearing.

How the packaging works
Title

The title opens a gap about what most people get wrong in marketing.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail delivers the backwards command and the credential that earns it.

Remix this

Use this for podcast episodes when a guest holds a view most people think is backwards. Place the strange claim big and the guest's credential small beside it. The credential is what makes the strangeness safe to say.
