Preguntas Frecuentes

What is thought leadership?

Positioning executives as trusted experts through bylined articles, speaking engagements, social presence, media commentary, and original research. It builds credibility and trust.

How much should thought leadership cost?

Entry-level programs (monthly content, occasional speaking): $5,000-15,000/month. Comprehensive programs with multiple executives: $25,000-100,000+/month.

What content works best for thought leadership?

Original insights and data outperform generic advice. Industry reports, contrarian viewpoints, and practical frameworks tend to get shared and covered. Quality over quantity.

How long until thought leadership shows results?

Building genuine authority takes 12-24 months of consistent effort. Early wins (speaking invitations, media quotes) come faster; reputation as a go-to expert takes years.

Should every executive have a thought leadership program?

Focus on 1-3 executives with genuine expertise and willingness to participate. Spreading too thin dilutes impact. CEO, subject matter experts, and customer-facing leaders are common choices.
