As the world of B2B revenue marketing continues to develop, particularly in the realms of digital marketing and demand generation, it becomes increasingly crucial to stay abreast of emerging trends. One way to achieve this is by learning from those who have successfully adapted to new trends.

Whether you are seeking inspiration for your own team or are simply curious about the revenue marketing leaders who are currently kicking ass, taking cues from these thought leaders can provide you with valuable insights into how to remain ahead of the curve during times of rapid change.

List Methodology

When developing a list of top revenue marketers, it’s not simply about who has the most followers. While reach, specifically on LinkedIn, is important, a variety of other criteria go into such a ranking, including:

  • Sharing contextual updates: Whether publishing unique on-topic content or reposting content with additional context, the content needs to be beneficial to their audience. Simply reposting company content isn’t enough.
  • Engagement with revenue marketing-focused content: If you’re turning to someone for inspiration, they should be actively engaged with the broader community both passively and actively (such as liking and commenting on other content).
  • Audience resonance: When these thought leaders publish content, are their audiences actively engaging with it? Is it resonating with them? How about when they comment on other people’s content? Their content, whether on their profile or when they engage with others’ content, should resonate with these audiences.

Many lists rely entirely on Twitter but, in the B2B world, most people focus their time on LinkedIn. While Twitter allows access to their firehose and therefore a lot of tools can determine influence, this list was manually researched and analyzed by our team one profile at a time.
