Hub and Spoke

A hub and spoke gets its name from its layout, which looks like spokes on a wheel. Hub and spoke diagrams are typically used to display smaller components that make up a larger idea or finding.

For example, a hub and spoke diagram about integrated marketing would have connected circles that include distribution channels for marketing: email, social media, display ads, affiliate, etc.
