The pattern

This still is filed under Us-versus-them positioning.

Verdict

The category is crowded

Read the pattern

Why it works

Documents a specific, awe-inspiring event (a sideways ship launch) to provide concrete proof of the nation's industrial progress and momentum toward victory.

Steal this when

You want to use a specific, impressive milestone to prove that an ambitious, large-scale project is succeeding.
