In the world of B2B marketing, trust is currency. And trust doesn’t come from logos or landing pages alone—it comes from conversations.
That’s why live, unscripted formats like AMAs (Ask Me Anything sessions) and X (Twitter) Spaces are powerful tools for building brand identity and positioning your leadership team as genuine thought leaders.
If your brand isn’t speaking with your audience in real time, you’re missing an opportunity to build trust, authority, and a loyal community.
Beyond Blogs: Why Live Conversations Matter
Your content might be polished, your website might be sharp—but none of it shows the real people behind your brand.
Buyers want to know:
- Who am I doing business with?
- What do they believe?
- Can I trust them to lead, solve, and adapt?
AMAs and Spaces give your audience a chance to hear your voice, not just your value proposition. They’re not just Q&A sessions; they’re credibility engines.
Brand Voice Meets Real Voice
In marketing, we talk a lot about “tone of voice.” But in a live format, that tone becomes a real voice.
When founders, CMOs, or technical leads speak openly in a live space, something powerful happens:
- They build emotional resonance
- They show clarity under pressure
- They demonstrate confidence without a script
For B2B brands looking to differentiate, this is gold.
That said, not every session is smooth sailing. I’ve hosted one or two where the guest sounded like they were trapped in an awkward job interview—nervous, stiff, and painfully uncomfortable.
The conversation didn’t flow, and the audience could feel it. In contrast, the best sessions weren’t always with “experts” but with people who could chat naturally, share a laugh, and roll with the questions.
The key? Choose someone who’s at ease speaking out loud. They don’t need a script or a perfect pitch—just a bit of warmth and a human tone. No one wants to listen to a robot read a FAQ.
AMAs & Spaces as Trust Accelerators
Trust takes time, right? Not always.
When you show up consistently, answer tough questions, and listen to your audience in real time, you fast-track trust.
These formats:
- Break the wall between brand and buyer
- Humanise complex businesses
- Establish leadership in noisy markets
The best part? They’re not one-off events. They can become part of your ongoing content ecosystem.
From Live to Evergreen: How to Maximise the Value
Think of an AMA or Space as the top of a content tree:
- Record it for replay value
- Pull out soundbites for social posts
- Turn highlights into a blog or newsletter
- Quote insights in your next whitepaper
- Use strong moments in your pitch decks or proposals
It’s not just content—it’s compounded content.
Quick Wins: Hosting a Great Session
Want to get started? Here are a few basics:
Before the session:
- Promote it at least 5 days in advance
- Share the topic and why it matters
- Encourage early questions via DMs or email
During the session:
- Have a clear host/moderator
- Open with value, not housekeeping
- Be honest: “We don’t know yet” is a valid answer
After the session:
- Publish a recap post with timestamps
- Share clips on LinkedIn or X
- Ask for feedback and suggestions for next time
Thought Leadership Isn’t Claimed—It’s Demonstrated
Anyone can say they’re a thought leader. But when you show up, answer real questions, and lead open conversations, people believe it.
Live formats aren’t just for influencers or startups. They’re a serious B2B strategy for:
- Building trust
- Driving engagement
- Differentiating your brand
