Thumbnails that get your podcast clicked, designed by The Club MCR team.

The Club MCR, Salford

Your episode gets about 1.8 seconds in someone's feed. We design the thumbnail that wins them, so the people you want to reach actually press play.

The research

Eight reasons your thumbnail matters more than you think. Each one's a thumbnail. Open it for the data behind it.

See it the way your audience does

Most people find your episode in a phone feed, where it's barely bigger than a stamp. Switch sizes and compare a raw frame with a finished thumbnail.

Questions
Do I need to record at The Club to use this?

Not at all. Plenty of people send us photos or footage from wherever they record. Studio clients just get a few extras.

Do you need photos, or can you use my video?

Either works. Send us stills if you have them, or your episode footage and we'll pick the strongest frames and make the most of them.

What do I need to send?

A few clear photos of each person (or a link to the episode), your logo and the episode title. If you've got brand colours or fonts, send those too.

Can you match the style I already use?

Yes. We can keep your current look and sharpen it up, or build a fresh style for your show.
