Cloud Giants Update:
Why it spread
This post spread because it paired a small multiples chart of cloud revenue growth and net new additions with a timely cloud giants update, earning 378 likes, 88 reposts, 10 quotes, 138 saves and 48,396 views, which is 14.0x the account's typical likes of 27.
What worked
- The post text delivers a compact, high signal update on AWS at a $110B run rate growing 19% YoY, Azure at roughly a $66B run rate growing 34% YoY, and Google Cloud at a $45B run rate growing 35% YoY.
- The small multiples format let readers compare three providers side by side, and the unusual chart type plus an above average quote rate of 10 quotes helped it travel beyond the account's normal audience.
- It shows a source line and leans on a topic with strong interest, which supported 138 saves and 48,396 views against a typical 27 likes.
What to borrow
We could use the same small multiples framing to compare several of our own metrics across peers or time periods, keep the post text to a few plain numbers, and include a source line so the chart is easy to trust and share.
Careful
Do not over-read the low design polish, low self labelling and low unusual form as the cause of success, and do not assume the same format will repeat the 14.0x lift, since the topic and the account's reach also mattered.
