Top 50 B2B Content Marketing Influencers and Experts To Follow #CMWorld 2023

See Lee Odden speaking at Content Marketing World 2023 image

Content Marketing World 2023 takes place September 26 – 28 both in-person in Washington, D.C. and online, and as the biggest content marketing conference in the world, CMWorld annually brings together a fantastic group of top-notch professionals sharing their curiosity for future trends, marketing insight, and aspirations for elevating the industry.

For the past 15 years top marketers from the world over have gathered for one of the world’s most comprehensive content marketing events, and this year’s Content Marketing World returns again for expanded networking and learning.

Readers of our blog know we have a longstanding history with the conference starting at the very beginning, with 13 years of speaking and attending along with eight years during which we partnered with the Content Marketing Institute to develop speaker and influencer content marketing campaigns.

A favorite classic TopRank Marketing tradition that has been imitated in recent years but never duplicated is our annual list of content marketing experts to follow — a helpful compilation extracted from top industry leaders and the hundreds of fantastic #CMWorld 2023 speakers.

List Methodology: For this list we utilized the Traackr influencer marketing platform to measure resonance surrounding the topic of content marketing.

Many thanks go to all the people who are actively sharing knowledge about content marketing in 2023 by engaging and working to elevate others with insight and expertise on the social web. This list is just a starting point to help expand your own content marketing learning.

In this year’s list there are plenty of familiar faces along with many new additions. We expect to learn new lessons from each of these 50 content marketing influencers, and hope that you’ll do the same throughout the rest of the year and into 2024 and beyond.

We extend special thanks to Stephanie Stahl, who as general manager of Content Marketing Institute has passionately continued on the ambitious mission of CMI founder Joe Pulizzi.
