In this in-depth discussion, Kristen Sweeney, the owner and CEO of Every Little Word and Chief Marketing Officer at Crews & co. joins the show for a deep dive into the topic of thought leadership. She corrects common misconceptions while also highlighting its unique relevance in content marketing. By emphasizing the importance of authenticity, boldness, and a strong understanding of one's own expertise, Sweeney shows that effective thought leadership isn't just about the channel or data, but rather the individual opinions and perceptions each thought leader brings to the table based on their unique experiences. The conversation also touches on the importance of consistency in creating thought leadership content, the value of qualitative feedback, and the need to know your audience deeply. Aspects such as utilization of social media, newsletter composition, and tailoring it to resonate with the audience are also discussed.Connect with Kristen Sweeney:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristen-sweeney-every-little-word Website: https://everylittleword.co Crews & co.
