Earned vs owned reach
Of the 1.9k total reach today, 86% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 14% is independent voices. The organic conversation is small relative to brand broadcasting — every headline metric above is the earned 14%.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 269 | 1.4k | 84% |
| Circle K | 1 | 254 | 100% |
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
The festive Monchhichi mooncake gift box is the day's top engagement driver, but at least one follower discovered it was already sold out by the time the announcement post went live, turning excitement into frustration during peak mid-autumn gifting season.
▸ Comment directly on the Monchhichi launch post calls out the sell-out timing gap
