Team-Led Content: The B2B Marketing Growth Channel You're Probably Ignoring | #24
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Your team is sitting on fantastic insights. Engineering, operations, finance. Every department has expertise and experiences that your prospects genuinely want to hear about and the great news is that you don't need a massive budget or a complicated setup to start getting those insights out there.
In this episode of The 1% Insight, I dive into why team-led content on LinkedIn is becoming one of the biggest opportunities in B2B tech marketing right now and how it works best when it runs alongside your brand account, not instead of it.
Both channels play a crucial role, and the companies that figure out how to get them working together are the ones that are going to build serious trust and mental availability with their target market over time.
Most of your prospects aren't making a buying decision today, but they are forming opinions every single day. Personal LinkedIn pages are consistently outperforming brand accounts when it comes to reach and engagement.
That doesn't mean the brand account isn't important, it absolutely is. But when your team members are also sharing valuable, relevant content through their own personal brands, it creates a content ecosystem where prospects are landing on your company from multiple angles. That's a powerful position to be in.
I run through a practical framework you can start implementing straight away, from getting buy-in across departments, to recording insights in a simple conversational format, to building a content calendar that keeps things consistent without putting the heavy lifting on non-marketers.
Key insights for B2B Tech Marketers:
- Personal LinkedIn pages are gathering significantly more engagement than brand accounts. People connect with people more than they connect with logos and that creates a brilliant opportunity for your team to extend your brand's reach.
- Brand content and team-led content work best together. This isn't about choosing one over the other. It's about creating an ecosystem where both channels reinforce each other and increase your chances of being in front of the right prospects at the right time.
- You don't need a podcast to get started. A simple recorded conversation with a team member, focused on the problems your ICP faces, gives you a fantastic bank of insights to repurpose across short-form video and text.
- The secret to making this work long term is building a system. A content calendar, captions written in each person's tone of voice and an easy approval workflow makes it frictionless for your team to stay consistent.
- Frame every piece of content around solving real problems for your ICP. Your team's unique expertise and insights are a genuine differentiator and that is what will set your company apart.
