B2B Marketing: Top 100 Twitter Influencers

by | Jul 15, 2015 | Influencer Lists,

70% of B2B marketers are creating more content than they did one year ago

This data comes from the 2015 B2B Content Marketing Trends report from the Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs. So B2B marketers are furiously creating more content. Why? Well, they’re probably looking at the results of their B2C colleagues in content marketing. Smart move you think, but nowadays everybody is creating more content and volume is certainly not the answer.

Top 100 B2B Marketing Twitter Influencers

We also analysed the B2B marketing discussion last year and this year’s analysis shows how fragmented this discussion really is. We see some brands and individuals being present throughout both years but most accounts are new in this list. If we compare it to the content marketing discussion we find lots of smaller accounts driving influence.
Compared to content marketing we see less volume, and a less mature discussion (to illustrate: the volume of the online content marketing discussion tripled in less than a year!) . This is great for all the brands and individuals out there trying to grow their influence and audience size in the B2B community, as it’s easier for them to get heard through all the noise.
If you’re looking to follow excellent thought leaders in the B2B marketing space (brands and individuals alike) be sure the follow the account in the list below.

Disclaimer: As ever with these lists, it must be stressed that the ranking is by no means a definitive measurement of influence, as there is no such thing. The individuals and brands listed are undoubtedly influential when it comes to driving discussion in B2B Marketing.

The PageRank based methodology we use to extract influencers on a particular topic takes into account the number and quality of contextual references that a user receives. These calculations are independent of a user’s number of followers, but we do filter our lists based on how much a user is engaged in the conversation and the influence they drive through their networks.
