Mapped: Cancer Rates by Country 🩺
Why it spread
It spread because it explained itself and rode a hot topic that week, drawing 175 likes, 40 reposts, 7 quotes, 82 saves, and 25,468 views.
What worked
- The choropleth form made cancer rates across countries in the Americas instantly readable.
- High self labelling meant the chart explained itself without extra text.
- A branded post with a source line and top quarter source reach gave it credibility and distribution.
What to borrow
Use a self labelling choropleth for a hot topic, keep the source line, and brand the post to match our own data.
Careful
Do not over read the above average quote rate or assume the same spread without a hot topic and top quarter source reach.
