Only 26 percent of B2B brands see real results from thought leadership, even though 80% are actively producing it. In this episode, we explore why most strategies are falling short in a time when trust in media and corporations is at just 33 per cent in the UK. The biggest missed opportunity is clear. Employee-shared content delivers 561% more reach, is reshared 24 times more often, and drives eight times more engagement than corporate channels.
We share a practical roadmap for turning employees into influential voices. Learn how to create strong LinkedIn profiles, develop consistent content, and use nano-influencers to boost visibility without chasing massive audiences. We cover how to overcome executive resistance, measure success, and keep programs focused using a simple one-page strategy. You’ll also hear how friendly internal competition can accelerate adoption and results. If your thought leadership isn’t working, this episode shows how your people can turn it around.
