Earned vs owned reach
Of the 319 total reach today, 74% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 26% is independent voices. The organic conversation is small relative to brand broadcasting — every headline metric above is the earned 26%.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 83 | 172 | 67% |
| Cheers | 0 | 64 | 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.
