Content Marketing Landscape 2014 – Top 200 Brands and Influencers

by | Nov 11, 2014 | Influencer Lists,

We’re back with content marketing! After our initial post on content marketing influencers in last March, we are back with an updated list with even more thought leaders, network maps and insights. At Onalytica we were really excited to see that the content marketing community enjoyed the list we posted earlier this year and we wanted to provide them with a wider view on the online debate around content marketing.

The online debate on content marketing is driven by a huge number of individuals that have true passion for the discipline. People like Joe Pulizzi, Michael Brenner, Heidi Cohen, Jeff Bullas, Gerry Moran, Jay Baer, Ann Handley and many many more all create great content and make for a passionate online discussion on the topic. People are crucial to the content marketing debate but a lot of the discussion is also driven by brands. This is the main reason we have applied our same PageRank based methodology to all the brands out there talking about content marketing. We have tried to create a comprehensive landscape for everybody that is interested in the content marketing community. This list is also a way for people looking to find great thought leaders and influential companies in the online content marketing debate. If you are wondering how we approach influence and influencer marketing, give this article a try!

Below you can see the full network map of the entire debate with 400 twitter users (if you’re interested in this map, we can provide you with a vector PDF, just send us a tweet with your email and we’ll be happy to send it!)

Less talk, more influencers! Check below for the Top 50 Influencers and brands. Be sure to grab the free report that includes 200 thought leaders, 200 brands and their shiny network maps to see how they are all linked together in the debate.
