Learn how to build B2B social media strategies that connect with real people through relatable content, creative formats, and a strong, memorable brand voice.

When most people think of B2B marketing, they imagine dry whitepapers and content that makes you almost fall asleep mid-scroll. But here’s the truth: B2B doesn’t have to be boring. Not even close.

Speak to Humans, Not Titles

Your audience isn’t just a list of job titles and email addresses; they’re real, breathing humans who are scrolling through LinkedIn between meetings, sipping their second coffee of the day. Share insights in a way that’s relatable and approachable. Humor works well, even in B2B land, if done right.

Some ideas to make content more human:

• Soften your language. You aren’t a robot, and nor are the folks reading your content!
• Quick, witty posts about common industry pain points.
• Carousel posts that break down complex topics into digestible steps.

Mix Up Your Content Formats

Case studies and whitepapers have their place, but social media gives you creative license to grab attention. Short animated videos or mini-tutorials can make your brand feel relatable. Interactive content like polls or even AMAs (if done well) encourage engagement, and tasteful infographics can make a complex topic easier to digest.

Find Your Bold Brand Voice

Your tone is your personality online. Don’t shy away from standing out. Cheeky copy, unexpected visuals, or fun stats make your brand memorable. Consistency matters too, so if that’s not your brand’s vibe, that’s fine, but your audience should recognize your posts even before they see your logo.

Show, Don’t Just Tell

Instead of saying your software is “innovative,” can you show it in action? Customer success stories, behind-the-scenes moments, or even “failures turned into wins” humanize your brand and create content people actually want to watch.

Each social platform offers unique ways to be creative. LinkedIn works well for thought leadership posts, polls, and carousels built from case studies. IG Stories and Reels are perfect for behind-the-scenes content for onsite events or visual storytelling. And yes, even TikTok can be effective with short, fun, or educational clips that make B2B brands approachable.

B2B Can Be Fun!

The bottom line is simple: if you put in the work, B2B can be exciting, creative, and full of personality. Rethink your content strategy, take risks, and focus on human connection. Your brand won’t just capture attention - it’ll earn it through familiarity and trust from your audience.
