Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Identity-Roast Trojan Horse

Leverages ego-driven 'personality test' framing to hook readers, uses hyper-specific behavioral roasts to drive shares, and sneaks in shocking data points to set up a final educational CTA.

  1. 1

    The Ego Stroke

    The first list slide flatters a specific archetype to build early swipe momentum, establish the format, and lower the reader's guard.

  2. 2

    The Brutal Mirror

    Subsequent slides use hyper-specific, slightly aggressive behavioral roasts to drive high shareability, relatability, and comment-section tagging.

  3. 3

    The Trojan Horse Fact

    Seamlessly weaving alarming or surprising data points into the comedic roasts to build underlying problem-awareness without breaking the entertainment value.

    EVIAN SPARKLING

  • informational · photo_1

    You love the finer things in life. You know all water doesn’t taste the same and you swear by your sparkling Evian. It tastes like water should, and you know it. You’d rather reach for a cool glass of sparkling Evian over any energy drink after a gruelling workout. You’re not afraid to tell everyone how much you love vanilla yet you never really judge anyone for ordering their dubai chocolate double fudge brownie. You’re comfortable in your own taste, your own skin. Everyone eventually copies everything you do.

    VOSS

  • informational · photo_2

    The only thing that matters to you is the aesthetic. You don’t care that the quality of VOSS water has gone downhill in recent years. You swear by it - even though they have 11x the radium limit. You need to post that IG story flatlay before going for your skinny girl walk on a Tuesday afternoon. You’re the kind of person who takes 17 minutes taking a picture of food whether its steak or a frothy cappuccino. You don’t even care if it goes cold. You just need that perfect shot. Freak.

    WATER QUALITY MATTERS

  • informational · photo_19

    YOU SHOULD CARE AS MUCH ABOUT THE WATER YOU'RE DRINKING AS YOU DO THE FOOD YOU'RE CONSUMING. The contaminants you ingest become an unwanted ingredient in your body. The minerals - or lack of minerals - show up in your general mood and cognitive performance. We as consumers deserve to know exactly what's in our waters and this is why an app like Oasis is amazing. You can simply search for any brand name water and see what's behind the label. Note: Tests are continuously done and water quality can change. The best way to stay up to date is to download Oasis and look through the list of contaminants, beneficial ingredients and even the reports themselves if you'd like to. With Oasis, there is also a growing database of filters, baby food and other products. Download Oasis App in the App Store to get informed.
