Why influencer marketing works for B2B brands too.
For a long time, B2B marketing felt strictly professional but ultimately a bit cold. B2B relied on white papers, case studies and corporate webinars while, B2C was out there having a party with creators, trends and viral storytelling. But here is the secret B2B buyers are still people. Behind every million-dollar software or logistics contract is a human being scrolling through LinkedIn or YouTube, looking for a solution they can actually trust. The influence economy is no longer just for skincare and sneakers. At TCE (The Crazy Entrepreneur), we’ve seen the shift firsthand. The influence economy isn't just for sneakers and skincare anymore but also for the new backbone of corporate trust. When a company invests in a cybersecurity suite or a new CRM, the stakes are astronomical. This is where TCE’s global network of 1 million+ creators comes in.
