Head of Content, Exit Five

No one goes to school for B2B Marketing. It’s why we’re building Exit Five – we know from experience that a community of your peers is the best way to get smarter and grow your career.

LinkedIn can be a great place to learn too, if you can cut through the noise (and the broetry) to fill your feed with people posting useful and specific content.

We want to help you do that, so we put together a list of B2B Marketers we’ve been following this year to help you build a targeted list of your own.

The people on this (non-exhaustive) list are the ones our team has loved following this year – they’re experts in everything from Demand Gen to Content Marketing, to Leadership and so much more.

In no particular order, here are the 25 people we recommend following on LinkedIn if you want to get smarter about B2B Marketing in 2025:

What he writes about: Marketing leadership, attribution

Why you should follow him: Pranav cut his teeth at some of the biggest names in tech – think Bill.com, Dropbox, and Magneto. His common frustration is one most (maybe all?) marketers share: measurement and attribution.

He frequently posts about how marketers can turn attribution from a battle for credit to an effective way to communicate the impact of marketing.

What she writes about: Social Media

Why you should follow her: Meryoli was the brain behind growing Apollo’s social presence by 500% and growing their LinkedIn following to over 100k followers. At Chili Piper, she led campaigns that got over 1.5 million views on TikTok, and earned them a spot among LinkedIn's Top 50 US Startups.

Meryoli is a must follow if you want to learn strategies for using social media to increase brand visibility and drive pipeline growth.

What she writes about: Messaging, Copywriting

Why you should follow her: Diane started her career as a translator, and now she uses those skills to help B2B companies articulate a product’s value proposition. She often shares tips like how to simplify your copy to avoid overwhelming buyers and frameworks for finding your messaging “sweet spot.”

Plus, she brought the fire at our “Ultimate Roast of B2B Websites” earlier this year with her insights in the session on homepages. To top it all off – she’s hilarious, too.

What she writes about: Marketing Strategy

Why you should follow her: Emily led marketing at both Carta and Asana, turning them into category leaders. Now the co-founder of MKT1, she writes what is, in my opinion, the best content about marketing on the internet. Each article is highly researched, easy to digest, and actionable – and she shares even better breakdowns on LinkedIn.

We were lucky enough to have her as one of our experts this year for our pricing page session at The Ultimate Roast of B2B Websites where she shared gems from her guide on SaaS Pricing pages.

What she writes about: Conversion, Landing Pages

Why you should follow her: Every time we do a podcast with Tas (like this one with lessons from auditing 40 landing pages), it becomes a fan favorite. Tas writes about landing pages in an unfiltered, tough love kind of way that makes you want to jump into your web editor and make changes right away. Plus she’s launching a swipe file of B2B landing pages you don’t want to miss out on.

What she writes about: Bottom of the Funnel Content

Why you should follow her: Lashay is an expert in B2B content strategy who just gets it. She’s the founder of Authority Plug, her niche consultancy that helps B2B SaaS companies create BOFU content that drives conversions – and revenue.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, she’s also a constant source of inspiration. When she spoke at Drive this year, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room at the end of her talk.

Why you should follow her: Natalie is one of those marketers who isn’t afraid to get deep into the work and get her hands dirty – and she shares what she’s learned along the way.

Why you should follow her: If you’re looking to add a bit of humor and storytelling to your LinkedIn feed, look no further than Chelsea.

Why you should follow him: When I was just getting started in B2B marketing (and knew nothing), Jason’s “B2B Better” podcast was my holy grail. He shared insights from marketing operators doing the work, not the same 10 big names – and now he helps B2B companies build their own unique podcasts.

If you’re looking to start one at your company, or have one and want to make it better, Jason is someone you should be learning from.

And did I mention she also uses her marketing skills to promote the adorable children’s books she writes?!

Why you should follow her: Jess started her career as a Creative Director and a Copywriter, and used those chops to lead Brand and Content at some big names in B2B. Her posts strike a great balance of practical, tactical, and strategic – you won’t find fluff here.

She’s also the co-host of the phenomenal podcast “That’s Marketing, Baby.”

What she writes about: Content Marketing, SEO

Why you should follow her: Chima has written content for brands like Semrush and Wix before going full-time with Moz (lucky them).

Why you should follow him: Kyle started his career in Sales and it shows – and I mean that in the best way possible. If you want to get better at explaining how marketing actually drives revenue (every marketer should), Kyle is someone you should be learning from.

As CMO at Copy.ai, he’s also sharing a lot around how marketing should be using AI right now – and one of my go-to resources on the topic.

What he writes about: Marketing Leadership

Why you should follow him: You won’t find the typical content on Mark’s profile – he’s a marketer who likes to rethink what content should look like for B2B. Like when he pitched our CEO, Dave, on doing a series of videos on the golf course this summer in Vermont instead of the normal “marketing thought leader” video series.

Now he’s a first time VP of Marketing, and he’s candidly sharing what he’s learning – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

What she writes about: Social Media Marketing

Why you should follow her: Christina is one of Dave’s favorite people to follow on LinkedIn, and it’s easy to see why.
