Save referenceIdentity & Self-Relevance
If your reach and open rates keep falling, you probably blame yourself. Four red drops across the top look like your own dashboard, and 'It's not your fault' takes that blame away. So what is to blame? That's what you click to find out.
'Anymore' says marketing used to work and something outside you changed, and 'strategy pro explains' tells problem-aware marketers the reason comes from an expert, not a rant.
The red drops frame Alex's head like a dashboard, even when the labels are too small to read, and the italic 'your' points the reassurance straight at the viewer.
When your audience blames themselves for a problem caused by something outside their control, show the symptoms they'd recognise from their own screens and tell them it's not their fault. Keep the real cause for the video.
Show their falling numbers, then take the blame off them.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
