The Value of Thought Leadership 2025: How to win minds and markets

Join Mark Wellings, Executive Director, Thought Leadership at Momentum ITSMA, as he unveils key findings from our sixth global survey of 600 senior executives. This webinar will explore how thought leadership builds trust, elevates engagement, and drives growth in today’s increasingly complex buying landscape.

Highlights from our study include:

  • Thought leadership is more important than ever: 99% of senior executives view it as important or critical when assessing new providers, yet 57% often struggle to differentiate between providers’ content
  • Thought leadership can make or break a buying decision: 70% say it helps buying groups align on key issues, but 66% wouldn’t work with a new provider whose thought leadership was poor
  • Thought leadership offers the opportunity for collaboration and mutual value creation: 80% believe collaborating with providers on thought leadership improves the relevance and quality of the content, yet 77% would like to be asked to take part in thought leadership more often

Catch up on-demand to gain exclusive insights and actionable takeaways to ensure your thought leadership delivers what today’s buyers really need.

    Put simply, Lyndon’s team and process drive incredible impact.

  • In a word, we were surprised. We didn't expect it to be as eye-opening as it was. You challenged our thinking, and we made so many decisions in such a short time. We wish we had more time together!
