The topic changes from video to video, but the opening stays the same. After seeing the same opening across her videos, you start expecting the “hi besties” and cheek kisses before anything else happens.

The formula

Same opening line + same gesture+ different content.

The opening doesn’t need to be complicated. The more naturally it fits the creator’s personality, the easier it is for repetition to turn it into a signature.

How to use

Creators and brands can tap into this by finding one opening that feels natural enough to repeat across different videos. It could be a catchphrase, gesture, question, or even a specific way of addressing the audience.

The purpose is to give viewers one small thing they can instantly associate with the creator.
