CreatorIQ Introduces First Standardized Metrics Suite to Solve Creator Marketing's Measurement Gap
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CreatorIQ, the leading enterprise platform for creator marketing, today unveiled the industry's first standardized benchmarking suite for creator performance—setting a new bar for accountability, comparability, and results in the fastest-growing marketing channel. Unveiled at CreatorIQ Connect Europe, the new 'Share Of' Metrics Suite and Industry Benchmarks Calculator give brands a long-awaited answer to their toughest question: What does success look like in creator marketing?
For too long, creator marketing has lacked the measurement standards needed to match its impact. CreatorIQ was built for this moment—to give marketers a system they can trust to benchmark performance, justify investment, and scale with confidence.
This launch comes at a critical inflection point for the industry. CreatorIQ data shows that the biggest obstacle has changed: for the first time in five years, measurement—not budget—is the top barrier to growth. As economic uncertainty intensifies and marketing budgets tighten, CMOs are investing in creator strategies not just because they're effective, but because they've become essential to brand and business growth. Creator marketing has evolved into a comprehensive engine for brand impact, with 94% of brands reporting that creator content outperforms traditional advertising.
CreatorIQ is meeting that demand with the industry's most advanced, purpose-built measurement framework—giving marketers the tools they need to measure what matters, justify spend, and drive tangible business outcomes.
'Creator marketing has evolved from a top-of-funnel experiment into a strategic growth engine,' said Chris Harrington, CEO of CreatorIQ. 'But without standardized measurement, brands can't fully harness its power. That's why we're leading with measurement - solving the industry's biggest challenge first. With Share Of, we're launching the first true benchmark for creator marketing, giving marketers the clarity, accountability, and competitive intelligence they need to drive results with confidence.'
Establishing Measurement Standards for a More Sophisticated Creator Economy
The Share Of Metrics Suite provides competitive benchmarks across four key marketing outcomes, each aligned to a stage in the customer journey:
Share of Voice (SOV): Creator content volume (brand presence)
Share of Exposure (SOX): Estimated impressions (visibility)
Share of Engagement (SOE): Audience interactions (resonance)
Share of Influence (SOI): Earned media value — (business impact)
Powered by CreatorIQ's proprietary panel of the most influential voices on social media across more than 2 million social accounts and a neutral dataset of 20,000+ brands, these metrics allow marketers to understand how their brand stacks up across visibility, engagement, and influence compared to competitors.
The metrics will be fully integrated into CreatorIQ's competitive benchmarking dashboard in June, with expanded filters by region, platform, and creator tier rolling out later this year. And coming later this year, global market coverage will span more than 50 countries, up from 13. These Share Of metrics will complement campaign and program-level KPIs (such as SMV and direct revenue metrics), enabling full-funnel planning and reporting across both competitive context and performance outcomes.
Benchmarking Goes Public: The First Open Access Creator Marketing Calculator
Also launching today is the Creator Marketing Industry Benchmarks Calculator, the industry's first open-access benchmarking tool built specifically for creator marketing. Free and web-based, the calculator delivers unprecedented transparency and real-time comparability for any brand, regardless of platform subscription.
Powered by one of the most robust and diverse datasets in the creator economy, the calculator allows marketers to:
Benchmark performance across 27 industries, 17 regions, 5 social platforms, and 4 follower tiers
Generate more than 9,000 unique data views tailored to selected filters
Align KPIs to standardized, outcome-driven metrics that are defensible and easy to act on
This tool puts powerful insights into the hands of every marketer—democratizing access to competitive intelligence and setting a new standard for how creator marketing performance is measured and compared. See how your brand stacks up—explore the Benchmarks Calculator now at https://www.creatoriq.com/creator-marketing-benchmarks.
Share Of: Measurement Fit-for-Purpose and Built for Marketers
Available in June, the Share Of Metrics Suite reflects CreatorIQ's broader measurement framework: metrics should match both business outcomes and decision-making level. That's why the platform supports insights across:
Campaign level: Optimize short-term activations and creative strategy
Program level: Monitor long-term creator health and relationship value
Business level: Track ROI, allocate spend, and tie creator impact to market share
'For too long, creator marketing has lacked the measurement standards needed to match its impact,' said Bhavin Desai, Chief Product Officer at CreatorIQ. 'CreatorIQ was built from the ground up for this moment—to give marketers, strategists, and executives a system they can trust to benchmark performance, justify investment, and scale with confidence. This isn't just about data—it's about leading with clarity in a channel that's too critical to leave to guesswork.'

E3 Lithium Provides Progress Update for the Demonstration Facility
CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--E3 LITHIUM LTD. (TSXV: ETL) (FSE: OW3) (OTCQX: EEMMF), 'E3', 'E3 Lithium' or the 'Company,' a leader in Canadian lithium, is pleased to provide a progress update on its Demonstration Facility ('Demo Facility'). The Demo Facility is planned to be brought on stream in three phases through the second half of 2025 and into 2026. The lithium extraction equipment comprising of the 30-column Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) system (the '30-Column System'), as well as the purification and concentration equipment is now fully fabricated and undergoing final checks. The heart of the lithium production equipment is comprised of five separate skids, each containing a specific operation: Skids one and two host the 30-columns and the value control for the DLE system, skids 3 and 4 host the filtration and purification equipment and skid 5 houses the control center. The skids are expected to arrive and be assembled on site in the Clearwater Project area over the next six to eight weeks. E3 Lithium has also received the sorbent for the DLE columns and completed the majority of the payments for this equipment. Following arrival on site, the equipment will be assembled and undergo operational and safety checks, followed by final leak checks. Phase 1 will use brine hosted on site for the commissioning and operation of the 30-column system equipment to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate. It is expected that shortly after the drilling of the wells in Phase 2, the production well will be tied directly into the 30-column equipment and operate using a 'live' brine feed. Operation of a fully integrated system will enable E3 Lithium to optimize the process for factors such as recovery and flow rates and will provide important data for use in the design and costing of the commercial facility. The lithium carbonate produced will be used for customer interrogation and to potentially begin pre-qualification. Each phase of the Demo Facility is an important step towards validating the process technology and E3 Lithium's ability to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate from Leduc Brines at scale. The key objective of the Demo Facility is to de-risk the project design for E3 Lithium's full commercial scale Clearwater Project as the Company progresses towards completion of the Feasibility Study and securing of project financing. 'The team is very excited to see the equipment arrive on site,' commented E3 Lithium's CEO, Chris Doornbos. 'The Demo Facility will be one of the few systems of this kind globally to operate at this scale. It is a significant achievement for E3 Lithium to turn this design into a reality, and a major step forward to see it operate in the very near future.' Preparation for Phase 3 will increase as the first phase begins field operations and is expected to be installed in early 2026. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Chris Doornbos, President & CEO E3 Lithium Ltd. About E3 Lithium E3 Lithium is a development company with a total of 16.2 million tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) Measured and Indicated 1 as well as 0.9 million tonnes LCE Inferred mineral resources 2 in Alberta and 2.5 million tonnes LCE Inferred mineral resources 3 in Saskatchewan.
