Consumer prices are up 30% since Covid-19, per Bloomberg:
Why it spread
It spread because it hit a hot topic that week and drew many quotes, reaching 116,082 views with 726 likes, 192 reposts, 30 quotes and 61 saves.
What worked
- The post text leads with a plain, striking claim that consumer prices are up 30% since Covid-19, which is easy to repeat and argue about.
- The small-multiples chart shows a simple story, that inflation slowed but did not stop as the pandemic receded, so the takeaway is clear at a glance.
- It is branded and shows a source line from Bloomberg, an above average reach source, which adds credibility and shareability.
What to borrow
We could frame our own charts around a single memorable headline number and a clear before and after story, use small multiples for a simple trend, and always show our source line.
Careful
Do not over-read the engagement as proof of chart quality, since the main reasons were a hot topic that week and many quotes, and do not copy the exact 30% claim without our own data.
