What Amy Watts's Gets Right About B2B Content

The first time I saw Amy Watts pop up in my feed, I assumed she had a huge audience already. The content felt so dialed in that I was expecting 50K+ followers. Then I checked: 10,500 followers, 545.00 Hero Score, posting about 2.4 times per week. Pretty wild, right?

Then I looked at two other heavy hitters in the same orbit - Ori Zilbershtein with 30,945 followers and a 530.00 Hero Score, and Ariel Cohen with 29,977 followers and a 524.00 Hero Score. Both have nearly triple her audience, but Amy is the one quietly punching above her weight on engagement.

I wanted to understand why. On paper, the numbers look straightforward. But once you read their posts side by side, some fun patterns show up.

Here's what stood out:

  • Amy writes like a friend in your Slack DMs, not a brand trying to impress the board.
  • She uses structure, spacing, and tiny stylistic choices to make posts feel effortless to read.
  • Compared with Ori and Ariel, she trades "expert guru" vibes for "smart teammate" energy - and that shift matters a lot.

Amy Watts's Performance Metrics

Here's what caught my eye: Amy's 545.00 Hero Score sitting on top of just 10,500 followers is a strong signal that her average post lands hard relative to her audience size. She is not flooding the feed either - 2.4 posts per week is sustainable human pace, not "posting is my full-time job" territory.

In plain English: Amy is not the biggest creator in this trio, but her content is doing more work per follower.

Now compare that with Ori and Ariel.

*Posts per week data is only available for Amy, so take that line as directional, not scientific.

What surprised me is that Amy is essentially keeping up with two creators who have nearly triple her reach. That usually means one thing: people are not just following, they are actually paying attention.


What Makes Amy Watts's Content Work

When you strip away the emojis and fun intros, Amy's content is incredibly intentional. There are a few moves she keeps coming back to.

1. She makes B2B marketing feel like gossip with a smart coworker

The first thing I noticed is how conversational her posts are. They read like the coworker who pulls you aside after a dry stakeholder meeting and says, "Ok, but here is what is actually going on with our content."

She talks about serious B2B topics - employee generated content, case studies, product launches - without sounding like a case study herself. There is always a human edge: tiny jokes, self-awareness, and real examples from familiar SaaS brands.

Key insight: Treat every post like a chat with one curious colleague, not a broadcast to "my audience".

This works because it lowers the perceived risk of engaging. Commenting on a friendly, slightly playful post feels safer than dropping a take under something that reads like a whitepaper.

Strategy Breakdown:

ElementAmy Watts's ApproachWhy It Works
ToneCasual professional with light humour and emojisFeels human, not corporate, while still credible
Point of viewClear opinions about what B2B brands get wrongPositions her as a trusted peer, not just a summariser
ExamplesConcrete SaaS and B2B campaigns her audience already knowsLets people instantly connect the lesson to their own work

If you compare that with Ori and Ariel, they lean more into "expert" mode. Ori often talks from the founder seat, so the subtext is "here is how we are building this AI product." Ariel comes from the "I turn AI into ROI" angle - sharper, more performance-driven. Both are strong positions, but Amy's softer, colleague energy is a differentiator.

2. She makes every post ridiculously skimmable

Most LinkedIn feeds are a blur of dense paragraphs. Amy does the exact opposite.

Short lines. Lots of white space. Single-sentence paragraphs. Dividers. Emojis as signposts. And crucially, she gets to the actual point fast - usually within the first two or three lines.

You almost never have to "work" to figure out where she is going.

Comparison with Industry Standards:

AspectIndustry AverageAmy Watts's ApproachImpact
Paragraph length3-6 lines per block1-2 lines per blockPosts feel lighter and more clickable
Hook clarityVague, buried after contextClear problem or pattern in first 1-2 linesHigher chance people stop scrolling
Use of structureOccasional bulletsRepeatable patterns with lists, swaps, and dividersEasier for people to remember and reuse her ideas

Now here is where the trio comparison gets interesting:

CreatorHook StyleVisual StyleReader Experience
AmyRelatable pain or spicy observation ("Most B2B brands are doing X wrong")Lots of spacing, lists, emojisFeels light, friendly, fast to read
OriOutcome or product-focused ("We shipped X", "Here is how we did Y")Mixed - some long form, some screenshotsFeels like builder notes from a founder
ArielBold, ROI-driven promise or hot takeDirect, sometimes ad-like formattingFeels like conversion-focused copywriting

Amy is not just posting often. She is designing for attention.

3. She uses story, but never lets it turn into a memoir

There is a subtle sweet spot between "here is my life story" and "here are 7 tips with zero personality." Amy hits that spot a lot.

She will talk about getting laid off, hitting follower milestones, or landing "bucket list" brands, but then she quickly pivots into what that means for the reader:

  • What changed in her process.
  • What she would do differently.
  • How someone earlier in their journey can skip a few mistakes.

Template you can steal: "Here is a personal moment -> here is the weird emotional or practical part -> here is exactly what changed in how I create content."

This works because story becomes context, not the main event. People care about her journey, but they stay because each story quietly turns into a playbook.

Compared with Ori and Ariel, Amy leans more into personal narrative. Ori's posts often orbit around product building, fundraising, and features. Ariel tends to focus on punchy, revenue-focused lessons. Amy is the one saying, "Here is how this actually felt, and here is how I turned that into content strategy."

4. Her CTAs feel like ongoing conversations, not closing lines

Scroll to the bottom of Amy's posts and you will see a consistent pattern: nearly every one ends with a gentle question.

It is rarely "Book a call" or "Sign up for my thing." Instead you get stuff like:

  • "Marketers in 'serious' industries, how are you trying to stand out?"
  • "If you have run an EGC program, what did you learn from the process?"
  • "Which other swaps would you suggest to make B2B social feel less sales-y?"

The ask is small: share an opinion, drop an example, join the nerdy conversation.

Over time that does two things:

  1. It trains her audience to treat the comments as a discussion thread, not a form.
  2. It gives her more real-world examples and questions to feed back into her content.

And that feedback loop is a quiet superpower.


Their Content Formula

If you zoom out and look at Amy's posts in batches, the structure is incredibly repeatable. That is a feature, not a bug.

Content Structure Breakdown

ComponentAmy Watts's ApproachEffectivenessWhy It Works
HookShort problem statement or spicy observation aimed at B2B marketers⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Instantly tells the right people "this is for you"
BodyClear pattern: problem or story, then reframes, then list or framework⭐⭐⭐⭐Gives both emotion and clarity without rambling
CTAQuestion-based, community-first, zero hard sell⭐⭐⭐⭐Encourages comments and makes engagement feel low risk

The Hook Pattern

Amy almost never opens with "In this post, I am going to..." Instead, she hits a specific nerve.

You will often see patterns like:

"Most B2B brands are using social completely wrong."

or

"Want to stand out in a 'serious' industry? Do literally anything else."

Template:

"[Group you are calling out] are doing [very specific thing] in a way that is [wrong / painful / boring]."

You can plug in your own version:

  • "Most early stage founders are treating customer research like a checkbox."
  • "A lot of sales teams think 'personal brand' means yelling about your pipeline."

This hook works when:

  • You have a clear point of view.
  • You can back it up with examples, not just vibes.
  • You are talking to a group that secretly already feels the pain.

The Body Structure

Amy's posts tend to follow a repeatable four-step flow.

Body Structure Analysis:

StageWhat They DoExample Pattern
OpeningName the problem or share a quick story in 1-3 lines"7 months ago I tried posting on LinkedIn as an experiment..."
DevelopmentAdd context and empathy, then reframe what is really going wrong"You are not alone if X. The real issue is Y."
TransitionDrop a clear bridge into the list or framework"Here is where I tell brands to start πŸ‘‡"
ClosingSummarise the core idea and invite people to share their version"How are you handling this in your company? Lmk in the comments πŸ’¬"

The pacing is quick. She does not stack long arguments. Each paragraph has one job, then gets out of the way.

The CTA Approach

Amy's CTAs are almost always phrased as questions, and they usually:

  • Ask for stories ("What did you learn from running this?")
  • Ask for examples ("Who is doing this well?")
  • Ask for opinions ("How do you handle this in your industry?")

Psychology-wise, this does a few things:

  • A question feels like an invitation, not a task.
  • It signals that she is interested in other people's ideas, not just broadcasting her own.
  • It lowers the status gap. Instead of "I am the expert, listen to me," it feels like "We are all figuring this out together."

Ori and Ariel both use CTAs too, but often with a harder performance or product flavour - think signups, links, or stronger pushes. Amy's softer approach makes sense for her positioning: strategist and creator first, seller second.

Creator positioning comparison

CreatorCore PromisePrimary AudienceContent Angle
Amy WattsMake B2B marketing feel fun, human, and effectiveB2B and SaaS marketers, social media managersEducational how-tos, brand examples, and personal stories
Ori ZilbershteinShow how an AI product is built and scaledFounders, builders, AI-curious professionalsProduct updates, founder lessons, growth experiments
Ariel CohenTurn AI into measurable ROIMarketers, revenue leaders, foundersDirect-response style tips, offers, and outcomes

Seeing them together like this, you can almost pick which feed you would want to binge depending on your current problem: inspiration and bravery (Amy), founder tactics (Ori), or hard-nosed performance ideas (Ariel).


3 Actionable Strategies You Can Use Today

  1. Rewrite one of your last posts as if you were Slacking a colleague. Keep the same message, just swap the tone to "smart friend" and notice how it reads.

  2. Use the "problem - reframe - list - question" template for your next post. Name the pain, explain what most people miss, share 3 bullet points, then end with a question.

  3. Design for the skim. Break every line into 1-2 sentence paragraphs, add a clear hook, and use one emoji to guide the eye near your main transition.


Key Takeaways

  1. Amy wins on efficiency, not just reach. With 10.5K followers and a 545 Hero Score, her content is doing serious work per person.
  2. Tone and structure are her secret weapons. She combines friendly, opinionated writing with ultra-readable formatting that makes B2B topics feel easy to consume.
  3. Compared with Ori and Ariel, she owns the "smart teammate" lane. While they lean into founder and ROI-heavy angles, Amy focuses on making marketers feel seen, supported, and a bit braver with their content.

So if you are trying to grow on LinkedIn without turning into a content robot, Amy's playbook is a pretty solid place to start. Try a few of these patterns this week and see what happens.
