Thought Leadership

What is ‘thought leadership’?

Thought leadership is PR jargon, but it essentially refers to establishing an individual or organisation as an expert in their field.

Everyone wants to be a thought leader. But true thought leadership isn’t about being the loudest in the room – it’s about adding a new element to the conversation.

Thought leadership can come in many forms. It can be guest articles written for the trade press, commentary on industry trends or news, or in-depth blogs and reports about more technical subjects or pertinent issues.

What value does thought leadership provide?

It gives you authority, earns attention, and sparks interactions. Done well, it positions your brand at the centre of industry conversations.

The end result is building trust. That your desired audience see your brand, and the senior figures behind it, as being knowledgeable, insightful and generous with your views is hugely valuable.
