Content Marketing Influencers that ChatGPT Says We Should Follow

Written by Lital Barkan | Dec 1, 2023

Following all the feedback (including this awesome story shared by Mandy McEwen on LinkedIn) on our previous article (Twitter and LinkedIn Digital Marketing Influencers that ChatGPT Says We Should Follow), we went back and asked ChatGPT (whom we now lovingly call HAL), to be more specific.

This time, we asked for the top Content Marketing influencers to follow on LinkedIn and Twitter... You know, the one who would slap my wrist for using way too many parentheses in this intro. But those who do a great job blogging for impact, posting for engagement, and genuinely connecting with their audience.

Here is what HAL says. What do you think, any good ones missing?
