Why it spread

What worked
- The stacked bar chart made a clear point that whiskey dominates Brown-Forman sales over bourbon and scotch.
- The post tied the chart to a timely news hook about Brown-Forman cutting 12% of its workforce.
- The chart was branded and included a source line, which added credibility.
What to borrow
We could use a stacked bar to show how one category dominates a company's sales, and pair it with a current news event to make the data feel urgent.
Careful
Do not over-read the low engagement numbers as success, since the post had only 4 likes, 0 reposts, 0 quotes, 1 save, and 1,455 views, and its quote rate and source reach were both in the bottom quarter.
