Three simple questions that will take your thought leadership from good to great

Thought leadership has become a highly effective marketing tool in the decades since it was first coined as a term for sharing insights on the future of business.

Research suggests creating thought-leadership content generates a massive return on investment of 156%, 16 times more effective than traditional approaches.

Plus a survey by the Financial Times found that CEOs spend four hours per week on average consuming thought-leadership content and 80% said the quality of a company’s output influenced their decision on where to award deals.

Despite this, many companies have not yet mastered the skill of creating compelling and interesting content. This misses a substantial opportunity.

Our white paper is designed to change that.

As a content agency of experienced journalists and editors, 80% of our work is creating insightful thought leadership that showcases our clients’ expertise. The simple formula we’ve developed over 11 years working with 250+ clients in 19 countries will help you get this powerful business tool right, too.

Our ‘how to’ guide helps you understand what good looks like by:

  • Unpacking the three things every piece of writing needs to deliver as quickly as possible
  • Explaining why these three are key, and what each achieves
  • Exploring how to make them clear in every piece of writing you create

But we’re not just telling you what you should be doing to create effective thought leadership, we’re also showing you what this looks like in reality.

We walk through six excellent examples of our thought-leadership formula in action in the paper, from noted thought leaders including Bain, PwC, RELX and Deloitte, showing exactly how each applies it, and how that elevates their message.
