Should Blog Post Titles Be Branded or Keyword Focused?

Hello, WA Family
Today I was trying to fix my long SEO title by removing my site brand name so I could have more space for keywords and stay within the recommended title length.
After doing that, I noticed my SEO plugin now says my post is not branded because the site name was removed from the title. Now I’m wondering what the better approach is. Do you keep your brand name in your blog post titles, or do you remove it to make more room for keywords?
