Car company chart

This single chart shows that just 14 car companies control 54 car brands. One glance, and you instantly get how massive and interconnected the auto industry really is.

Why this chart works

• One visual replaces a thousand words—humans process images 60,000x faster than text.
• The hub-and-spoke layout shows hierarchy and ownership clearly.
• “14 companies control 54 brands” is a killer headline—simple, surprising, snackable.
• Brand logos make it instantly recognizable and credible.

Real-world parallels

• Unilever’s brand tree showing its 400+ products.
• Disney’s simple visual showing its empire (Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, Hulu).
• Coca-Cola’s brand chart illustrating dozens of beverage lines.

Simple takeaway: if your message feels complex, visualize it.
