Since 2006, AAAMS has trained medical professionals in the art and practice of aesthetics. When COVID-19 put a halt to in-person learning, they had to quickly pivot to an all-digital model, while maintaining course efficacy and desirability.
“The pandemic has dramatically changed B2B buying behaviors. The number of interactions required to make buying decisions significantly increased in the past two years: from 17 in 2019 to 27 in 2021.”

Ready for some extra credit? I’m about to throw you some jaw-dropping stats.
In today’s B2B landscape, thought leadership content is more important than ever.
But B2B brands aren’t going all in. Why?
It isn’t as easy to track as other initiatives.
Here’s the thing, though:
Even if it’s hard to measure, it’s still meaningful.
According to the 2024 Edelman-LinkedIn B2B Thought Leadership Impact Report, 52% of decision-makers and 54% of C-level executives spend over an hour a week consuming thought leadership content. 73% report trusting this content more than marketing materials.
And they don’t leave comments. They don’t hit the like button.
They share it on dark social, privately.
The impact is undeniable.
75% of decision-makers have explored a product or service they weren’t considering after consuming thought leadership content, and 60% realized their organization was missing an opportunity thanks to it.
If you thought those numbers sounded impressive, wait until you read this:
90% are more receptive to sales outreach from companies that share consistent, high-quality thought leadership.
86% are more likely to include these companies in the RFP process (seat at the table, anyone?), and 60% are willing to pay a premium to work with them.
You can’t make this up!
As long as B2Bs continue to choose the merely measurable over the meaningful, they’ll keep missing golden opportunities. Now that you know, you can stop your brand from falling into this trap. Stay vigilant by frequently asking yourself these 4 questions:
Question 1: How does our thought leadership content support our overall business goals and objectives?
Action: Ensure that your thought leadership content strategy is aligned with your company’s overarching business objectives, such as increasing market share, driving revenue growth, or establishing your brand as an industry leader.
Result: Ensure alignment with business objectives.
—
Question 2: Does our thought leadership content address the most pressing challenges, questions, and aspirations of our target audience?
Action: Conduct thorough research to understand the needs, preferences, and pain points of your target audience. Develop thought leadership content that provides valuable insights, solutions, and perspectives that resonate with their specific challenges and goals.
Result: Stay focused on customer needs.
—
Question 3: How can we track and measure the engagement and impact of our thought leadership content, even if it’s not as straightforward as other marketing metrics?
Action: Implement a comprehensive measurement framework that goes beyond simple metrics like likes and comments. Track indicators such as time spent on page, scroll depth, content downloads, newsletter sign-ups, and referral traffic. Use surveys and feedback loops to gather qualitative insights from your audience on how your content has influenced their perceptions and decisions.
Result: Accurately track engagement and impact.
—
Question 4: How can we ensure that our thought leadership content is effectively integrated with our sales and marketing efforts?
Action: Collaborate closely with your sales and marketing teams to develop a cohesive content strategy that supports the entire customer journey. Use thought leadership content to nurture leads, support sales conversations, and establish your brand as a trusted resource. Provide your sales team with the tools and training they need to leverage thought leadership content effectively in their outreach and interactions with prospects.
Result: Synergistic integration with sales and marketing.
