Framework
The Persona-Driven Hook
This framework uses a single, impactful image to function as a 'cover slide' that makes a compelling promise. It leverages a familiar character or mascot, places them in a new, topic-relevant persona, and pairs this with a direct, high-value headline to generate curiosity and signal the content's theme.
