The combination of the main product and ancillary texts was effective because they followed the style guide of the E4 channel. This ensured familiarity and consistency across all products. The logo, font, and branding elements were identical to the E4 style. The products represented both genders and aimed for an audience of 16-18 year olds, matching the ages of the cast featured.
