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

The brief

Kettle Talk is a weekly two-host podcast. They wanted a thumbnail style that works for a full episode and its clips.

Their old covers were the same studio wide shot every week, so nothing told a scrolling viewer that this episode had a story worth hearing.

What changed

  • Picked the frame where both hosts lose it at the same time.

  • A yellow tag on the punchline so the clips feel like one series.

Title options sent with it

  • He said WHAT?

  • The story we almost cut

  • Our guest went too far

“

Our clips finally look like one show. People recognise the yellow tag before they read a word.
