A thought leader is an individual or firm
 that prospects, clients, referral sources,
  intermediaries and even competitors
    recognize as one of the foremost
     authorities in selected areas of
 specialization, resulting in its being the
go-to individual or organization for said
                 expertise.

A thought leader is an individual or firm

Content Curation helps you being seen as an expert and
trusted source of information.




Personal	
  Branding	
  
Content Curation helps Brands be on top of mind, especially
during long B2B sales cycles.




Branding	
  
Curation marketing will
         become increasingly popular as
         a way to establish expertise and
         authority. 	
  
Like all things, only a few will do it the
right way and the rest will be akin to
scraped content.
