Why thought leadership matters
Thought leadership is powerful. It matters. It’s used across all industries to stand out and demonstrate technical expertise and innovation, boost brand affinity and spark important discussions that can yield not only positive change but growth opportunities in business.
According to a LinkedIn & Edelman study, thought leadership content, whether through whitepapers, essays, webinars, or in-person presentations, influences demand generation and sales efforts significantly. They found that 89 percnt of the surveyed business decision makers believe thought leadership enhances a brand’s reputation. And more than half would award business to an organization based on their thought leadership profile.
