Understanding the Impact of CEOs’ Social Media Presence
A CEO’s post on LinkedIn or another platform can have a greater impact than a traditional marketing campaign. As a result, business leaders are focusing on creating content that resonates with their audience.
The CEO Monitor report by LLYC highlights that the most effective posts address topics of personal motivation, technological innovation, and female inclusion.
Key Themes in CEOs’ Social Media Content
- Collaborative (27%): Focuses on building alliances and emphasizes collaboration with key actors such as governments and local communities, as well as local development and foreign investment.
- Motivational (12%): Aims to develop talent and team culture, participating in forums and conferences to inspire others to be brave, curious, and persistent.
- Transactional (4%): Prioritizes financial performance, strategic investments, and supply chain management. The discourse revolves around operational efficiency, market dynamics, and business competitiveness.
“This suggests that Mexican CEOs aim to project themselves as agents of transformation, albeit from an institutional rather than personal perspective. The low presence of the motivational archetype reveals that emotional or human leadership has yet to establish itself as a powerful narrative axis,” the report reveals.
