The best performing profiles

This month’s most engaging post comes from KFC. It’s a post that looks insanely delicious or incredibly disgusting depending on where you stand on gravy. The post features a photo of a gravy fountain with the caption ‘The gravy fountain of dreams.” They know how much their audience loves their gravy, and a fountain of it is one way to get people excited.

The most engaging profiles

The most engaging profiles this month we’re Adele, with 710 thousand users engaged, Leicester City Football Club with 577 thousand, and Red Bull Racing in third with almost 350 thousand.
