Thumbnail: a runner breaks the finish tape with her arms up, headline Day 30

Result

Click-through on this video over its first 14 days, against the channel’s average before.

The brief

A brand-new channel with no old thumbnails to fix. The finale needed to pay off 29 days of training videos.

Every daily episode used the same frame and a day number, so the last one had to feel like the end of a story, not just episode 30.

What changed

  • The finish tape, the arms, the light. Nothing else.

  • Day 30 in one line so it matches the 29 episodes before it.

Title options sent with it

  • Day 30

  • I trained for 30 days and ran a marathon

  • Day 30 (I didn't think I'd finish)

“

The finale thumbnail made the whole series worth binge-watching. New subscribers went back to day one.
