What worked
- The framing contrasts more than a decade of European bank underperformance after the GFC with four years of outperformance, which gives the chart a clear before and after story.
- The chart type is a line showing relative strength of European banks versus US banks over time, which suits a long-run comparison.
- The post text is short and states the takeaway directly, so the chart does the explaining.
What to borrow
We could take a long-run relative strength series in our own data and frame it as a simple before and after turn, with a short caption that states the conclusion up front.
Careful
Do not over-read the engagement: likes, reposts, saves and quotes are all low, the quote rate sits in the bottom quarter, source reach is below average, and the design polish is only low with medium self-labelling and no source line.
