Earned vs owned reach
Of the 2.6k total reach today, 95% is the chains posting on their own channels and only 5% is independent voices. The organic conversation is small relative to brand broadcasting — every headline metric above is the earned 5%.
| Chain | Earned | Owned | Owned % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7-Eleven | 135 | 2.5k | 95% |
| Cheers | 0 | 27 | 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
Customers report that limited-edition toys shown on social (QueSera 'Emergency Button' by 52TOYS) are never actually found in stores despite repeated promotion, creating a perception that the brand overpromises on new drops.
▸ Direct complaint under the QueSera post questioning whether the item is even being sold.
Have I ever seen any of these? No. Every time you showcase a new product, it cannot be found anywhere. Am I too slow or are you even selling it?
