Earned vs owned reach
Of the 1.1k total reach today, 96% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 4% is independent voices. The organic conversation is small relative to brand broadcasting — every headline metric above is the earned 4%.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 43 | 952 | 96% |
| Cheers | 0 | 113 | 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 viral Naruto Shippuden watch collectible post is driving 7-Eleven's highest engagement of the day, but is also surfacing unanswered questions - from an overseas fan asking if it's sold in US/California stores to a local asking if it's a blind box. Unclear geo-targeting and mechanics risk frustrating an enthusiastic audience and losing the moment to convert curiosity into store visits.
▸ Two distinct unanswered questions on the top-performing IG post: cross-border availability and blind-box mechanic.
Is this in US 7/11s?? California specifically??
“Is this in US 7-Elevens?? Specifically California??”

An earned UGC-style post unboxing the viral Onigiri Ice Cream (and ghost ice cream) triggered a stream of unprompted positive reactions praising cuteness, well beyond typical promo engagement. This signals strong organic advocacy potential for kawaii-style seasonal SKUs.
▸ Seven consecutive comments express spontaneous delight/cuteness reactions on the frozen treats post.
I thought the ghost ice cream was cute but the onigiri even cuter!!

Despite a heavy 14-of-18 post cadence today, Facebook versions of the same Naruto watch, RTE deal and protein snack campaigns are drawing only single-digit, low-substance engagement (e.g., a simple friend-tag) versus 649 likes on the IG equivalent. This points to a channel-content mismatch or reach/algorithm issue on FB.
▸ FB Naruto watch post's only comment is a user tagging a friend, with no discussion versus IG's active Q&A.
