Earned vs owned reach
Of the 597 total reach today, 26% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 74% is independent voices. Independent voices carry a healthy share of the reach today.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mannings | 264 | 11 | 4% |
| Watsons | 176 | 146 | 45% |
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
A Threads user asked whether a trending item was also available at Mannings; the top reply told them it was a Watsons/Sasa exclusive, and no Mannings voice corrected this. Left uncorrected, this quietly funnels demand to competitors.
▸ Two-comment thread reaches an inaccurate-sounding consensus that bypasses Mannings entirely
好似屈臣氏莎莎先有
“Seems like only Watsons/Sasa carries that.”
Mannings@heung_heungo3o · Threads · ♥ 2 · source
Watsons ran seven owned posts across platforms (PDRN skincare, hair care, seasonal remedies, flash sale) versus Mannings' single owned post. Mannings' health halo remains intact via influencer content, but the volume gap risks ceding conversation share if sustained.
▸ Posts data: Watsons 7 owned posts vs Mannings 1 in the same cycle
