Persuasion Sequences
Reframe Familiar
Change how they see something they already know.
This is the moment where something the viewer has seen a thousand times suddenly looks completely different. You haven't introduced new information — you've changed the lens they're looking through. The same data, the same situation, the same challenge — but now they can't see it the old way anymore.
Why This Works
Reframing exploits the brain's confirmation bias in reverse. Once a new frame clicks, the brain retroactively reinterprets all related information through that frame. It's not a gradual shift — it's a switch. The viewer literally cannot un-see the reframe. And because the new understanding feels like their own insight (not your sales pitch), it carries far more weight than any external claim.
In Your Ads
Find the assumption your audience takes for granted and flip it. "You think you have a conversion problem. You don't. You have a first-three-seconds problem. Your landing page converts fine — your ad just never gets anyone there." Same data, completely new understanding. The reframe should feel like putting on glasses for the first time.
When This Breaks
The reframe feels like a stretch or a semantic trick. "You don't have a marketing problem, you have a mindset problem" sounds clever but feels empty. The new frame needs to be genuinely more useful than the old one, not just different.
Example
Old frame: "You need better ad creative." Reframe: "Your creative isn't bad. It's structurally identical to your competitors'. You're not losing because of quality — you're losing because of sameness."
