Content and thought leadership is a critical go-to-market tactic for product leaders and product managers, with 75 companies actively publishing reports, studies, benchmarks, and educational series to influence buying decisions and establish credibility. This tactic helps product teams showcase expertise, generate pipeline, and drive product adoption.

Content & Thought Leadership (companies, 90d)
IndustryLens
Many companies in the dataset use original research and benchmarking reports as a cornerstone of their thought leadership. For example, Multiplier and TriNet co-published a 'Global Talent Squeeze' report on AI talent trends, while Rippling published a case study with CookUnity highlighting efficiency gains. Oyster HR launched a '2026 EOR Buyer's Guide' that critiques competitor services, and Remote opened its internal AI learning program to the public. These moves demonstrate how thought leadership can be used to educate the market while subtly positioning the company’s product as the solution.
Video series and educational content are also popular: SAP Concur launched 'Wissen to Go' focused on Joule AI and compliance, Rippling started a 'First Principles' podcast and AI Academy, and Goodie AI produces 'The AI Search Show' video series. Instantly created an academy with 10 free courses on outreach and AI orchestration, and Profound launched a 'Marketing Engineer' curriculum. These formats help product leaders stay ahead of trends and build trust with prospects.
Several companies leverage unique data assets for thought leadership: Brex uses customer spend data for benchmarks, Semrush AI Toolkit publishes studies based on 126 million AI search prompts, and Otterly.ai found 76.4% of commercial ChatGPT answers contain ads. Peec AI analyzed 500,000 prompts to show AI overviews appear in 86% of commercial searches. This data-driven approach reinforces authority and generates media coverage.
Partnerships and industry recognition also amplify thought leadership: Profound partnered with VaynerX on an answer engine optimization guide, Contify and Comintelli were named Visionaries in Gartner’s inaugural Magic Quadrant for CI platforms, and Crayon was positioned as a Leader. These external validations boost credibility for product teams evaluating vendors.
Overall, the most effective thought leadership combines original data, educational content, and clear product positioning. Product leaders should seek out these assets when evaluating new tools, as they often reveal deep market insights and vendor expertise.
