I Drove in Europe for the First Time, Here’s What Shocked Me (POV)

What to study

Curiosity Gap

The Canadian and American flags tell you who 'we' are. If you drive there, 'Why don't we have this?' makes you wonder what you're missing. Europeans get a reason to click too, to see what shocked a visitor on their everyday roads.

How the packaging works
Title

'For the First Time' promises fresh outsider eyes, and 'What Shocked Me' holds back every detail, so it works for North Americans wanting the lesson and Europeans wanting the reaction.

Thumbnail

The four flags set up the match, Europe against home, and 'why don't we have this' turns the shock into envy, so you expect something better, not something strange.

Remix this

When you compare your viewers' home with somewhere else, show flags or symbols that make clear whose side 'we' is on. Ask why home lacks something, but keep the thing itself off the thumbnail.
