Bar chart comparison — interactive embed vs branded video output
The limitations of Datawrapper for content publishing

- —Creative style is optimized for editorial reporting, not branded marketing content
- —Brand consistency at scale requires higher enterprise tiers
- —Social video workflows (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) need extra tooling outside Datawrapper
