Earned vs owned reach
Of the 460 total reach today, 30% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 70% is independent voices. Independent voices carry a healthy share of the reach today.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 321 | 139 | 30% |
| Cheers | 0 | 0 | 0% |
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 Telegram lobang channel's repost of the $1 deal drove far more engagement than 7-Eleven's own launch content, and commenters are engaging down to the cent — signalling that price-led, third-party content currently resonates more than owned brand storytelling.
