Ranked: Profit Margins of the World’s Largest Companies 📊
Why it spread
This chart post from @VisualCap spread because a polished, self-explaining ranking of profit margins at the world's largest companies earned 296 likes, 88 reposts, 6 quotes, 85 saves and 19,324 views, with a below average quote rate and a source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The design polish was high, which made a dense ranking of the world's largest companies by profit per revenue easy to scan and share.
- Self-labelling was high, so the chart explained itself and viewers did not need extra context before reposting it.
- The post was branded and showed a source line, and its source reach sat in the top quarter, which gave the numbers credibility and helped the post travel.
What to borrow
We could take our own company or sector data and build a self-labelling ranked chart with a clear source line, then post it as a branded image so the format carries the message without a long caption.
Careful
Do not over-read the spread: the quote rate was below average and the unusual form was only medium, so this is a solid ranking post rather than a controversial or novel format, and the likes, reposts, quotes, saves and views are the only measured numbers we have.
Written by our analysis model from the measured numbers above, not by Visual Capitalist.
