Brand monitoring tracks named-entity mentions of one brand across digital surfaces. Social listening adds topic and conversation tracking on top, capturing discussions that never name the brand. Media intelligence adds traditional press, TV, and ecommerce reviews. The three are nested, not synonyms · social listening is a superset of brand monitoring, and media intelligence is a superset of social listening. Sentia spans all three in one workspace, which is why teams in 2026 stop paying for two separate tools.

CPM is cost per thousand impressions, CPC is cost per click, and CPE is cost per engagement. CPE is the most defensible of the three for blending paid and organic performance because engagement is the one signal both surfaces produce in comparable units. In 2026, marketing teams that report blended CPE alongside calibrated EMV get cleaner conversations with finance than teams that defend CPM in isolation, because CPE survives the question "what did this actually do".

CPM, CPC, CPE · and which one to actually care about

Creator affinity is a creator's organic mention history with a brand or its competitive set, separated from any paid relationship. A creator who tagged a brand 14 times across IG and TikTok in 2026 without ever being paid scores higher affinity than one who posted twice as part of a contracted partnership. The metric matters because creators with prior organic affinity convert from outreach at roughly 2 to 3 times the rate of cold creators sourced by lookalike modelling.
