A company acquisition changed a product's branding, but the video metadata references only one side of the entity history.

Problem

A company acquisition changed a product's branding, but the video metadata references only one side of the entity history.

Solution

Root Cause / Diagnostic:
Covering a rebranded corporate entity or acquired product using only the current brand name ignores users who search under the historical company name. This causes an entity disconnect for users tracking the acquisition.

Actionable Step-by-Step Fix:
1. Reference Both Corporate Entities in Title: Structure the title to bridge both brand names (e.g., "Figma's New Features After the Adobe Era").
2. Document Corporate Context in Description: Explain the corporate transition and name change within the first two sentences.
3. Tag Both Historical and Current Brand Names: Include both corporate names in the video tag field.

Pro Creator Tip:
Corporate acquisitions create confusion among searchers; referencing both company names in your metadata captures both brand followings and clarifies entity history.
