Methodology:

We used Social Animal’s Influencer feature to find the top influencers in the content marketing industry.

1. We searched for people associated with the keyword “content marketing” and narrowed down the top 500 results.
2. We created the list based on the content that was shared on the topic – “content marketing ” and how much engagement an influencer’s content generates.This made the count get reduced to 200.

Here’s how we were able to differentiate, handpick and rank top influencers:

1. Their twitter profiles showed maximum engagement!
2. They shared, talked and engaged with their audience constantly and consistently.
3. They took time to respond to individual tweets or replies and encouraged, showed their support to fellow marketers.
4. The people on this list did not become influencers overnight.
5. They had to create and share relevant quality content which is a feat in itself. They also had to listen and engage with their followers on a daily basis.
6. They answered queries and tested strategies before they gave tips to their followers.
7. Since we picked them exclusively based on the content they shared. Their retweets and engagement with other influencers mattered too. The people on this list have built lasting relationships with their audience and their fellow influencers from the same industry.
