Influencer marketing is playing a more and more important role in the B2B space.
By Leon Louw founder of WhyAfrica and editor of the WhyAfrica magazine.
Just found a fantastic article by Nick Bennett on the Search Engine Journal about B2B influencer marketing for you to read in case you wonder about the role of influencers in the B2B space today and in the future, and if you are still, at this late stage of the race, scratching your head to decide where to spend your marketing budget in 2025.

Nick writes: “While Instagram and TikTok have long dominated the influencer marketing scene, LinkedIn is quietly emerging as a powerhouse platform for B2B brands.
Linkedin the perfect opportunity
“With its professional audience and focus on business-related content, LinkedIn presents a perfect opportunity to connect with industry leaders, decision-makers, and potential partners.
“Imagine collaborating with a renowned LinkedIn influencer to share your brand’s expertise and thought leadership, reaching a highly targeted audience of potential customers. Who wouldn’t want that?”
Future belongs to interactive content
Forget passive consumption. The future belongs to interactive content and taking your clients on tours and site visits, whether in person, in real time or on virtual tours.
Nick continues: “Interactive content promises a deeper level of engagement and knowledge retention, making it a powerful tool for B2B brands.
“Collaboration in the B2B influencer marketing space is about to go beyond the traditional sponsored post.”
Remember a micro-influencer has a social media presence larger than a normal person’s but smaller than a celebrity’s, landing between 1,000 and 100,000 followers.
