Earned vs owned reach
Of the 1.3k total reach today, 59% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 41% is independent voices. Independent voices carry a healthy share of the reach today.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 539 | 647 | 55% |
| Circle K | 9 | 148 | 94% |
Earned = organic / independent voices — this drives Share of Voice, sentiment and everything above. Owned = the brands' own official accounts, i.e. what they broadcast. A high owned share means the day's buzz is largely brand-driven, not organic.

Act on this
