Ranked: Billionaire Wealth by Country 💵
Why it spread
It spread because it used an unusual chart type, a treemap, on a hot topic that week, and it was posted by a branded data journalism account with top quarter source reach, earning 311 likes, 82 reposts, 7 quotes, 66 saves, and 27,680 views.
What worked
- The treemap form was an unusual chart type, which made the post stand out.
- The topic of billionaire wealth by country was a hot topic that week, driving interest.
- The post was branded and included a source line, which added credibility and reach.
What to borrow
We could use a treemap for our own country or category comparisons when we want a less common form, and tie it to a timely hot topic while keeping our branding and source line visible.
Careful
Do not over-read the quote rate, which was below average, and do not assume the design polish or self labelling were high, since both were only medium and unusual form was low.
