When it comes to inspiration, there’s no such thing as too much. That’s why even though we’ve already shared a few of our favourite B2B public speakers, it’s never too late to share a few more of them.
Whether you’re heading off to conferences or bringing in top talent to talk to your employees, it’s a good idea to catch as many speakers as you possibly can. After all, getting to know different points of view will help you to rethink your own approach, and you can often take what you’ve learned and repurpose it to make it work for you.
Honestly, we could write a thousand of these lists because there are so many fantastic speakers out there, but if you’re struggling to find somewhere to start then you should check out these two for sure.
Rohit Bhargava
Rohit is a marketer, speaker, consultant and all-round nice guy, and he specialises in thinking outside the box to find non-obvious ways for brands and individuals to spread their influence. He must be doing something right, judging from his own personal brand.
He’s also involved with the Influential Marketing Group, a consultancy which works with CMOs to improve brands’ marketing strategies and to humanise their approach. That means that if you want to see Rohit speak, you can bring in the IMG to deliver internal workshops and summits for tailored advice as it applies specifically to your company.
As with many of the best speakers, you can also try before you buy by checking out one of Bhargava’s books. He’s the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of five business books and he also lectures on marketing at Georgetown University. They don’t come much better qualified than that.

Tamara McCleary
McCleary is all about the combination of marketing and technology, which means she’s a great person to follow if you’re struggling to stay on top of the latest trends. After all, while marketing technologies can be confusing, they’re also designed to make your campaigns more effective. It might be difficult to learn how to use them, but they’ll ultimately pay dividends once you put them to use.
Tamara is also the founder and CEO of Thulium, a “brand amplification company” that specialises in B2B marketing, which means if you’re struggling to put her concepts into practice, you can call for a little backup. She’s even developed her trademarked RelationShift® method, which you ought to see her in action to learn about.
Of course, we’re not the only ones to recommend her. Amongst other accolades, she’s been ranked in the top 1% of global social media influencers, identified as the third most mentioned person on Twitter by chief marketing officers and named the most influential woman in martech by B2B Marketing. It’s pretty clear that she knows what she’s talking about, and better still she bases her advice on the hands-on experience she has with the latest software.
