How B2B CXOs can use Brand content to create a Personal Brand?

Your company already has stories worth sharing. The challenge isn’t creating more, it’s connecting the dots between brand content and your personal voice.

As a C-suite leader, you have access to a wealth of digital assets: website pages, campaign decks, customer stories, case studies, blog posts, and press features. But most of these remain underutilized for personal branding.

In a world where executives are becoming the face of the brand, the opportunity lies in transforming existing content into your own narrative, one that feels authentic, human, and trustworthy.

Let’s walk through how to do that:

Step 1: Evaluate the existing Brand Content

Take inventory of what’s already working for your brand. The simplest way is to build a quick spreadsheet and categorize every piece of digital media under three buckets: Owned, Earned, and Paid Media.

1. Owned Media- This includes everything your company controls your website, social media profiles, newsletters, and blog content. It’s also off-platform content you’ve created, like Medium articles or video interviews hosted elsewhere.

2. Earned Media- This is exposure gained organically: press mentions, podcast features, guest articles, client testimonials, or viral shares. It reflects your credibility through others’ validation.

3. Paid Media- Any form of paid promotion or amplification, from LinkedIn ads and Google campaigns to sponsored posts and native advertising.

This framework helps B2B CXOs understand where the Organization already has visibility and where their voice can add credibility.

Step 2: Discover the Stories in Formal Company Content

Once the assets are organized, shift your focus from what exists to what resonates. Look at the top-performing pieces across channels, maybe a client case study that captured attention, a blog that got strong organic traction, or a product video that sparked conversation. Now, ask yourself:

• What leadership lesson does this story reflect?

• What personal experience connects to this brand moment?

• How can I give this story a human face?

  
  

If your brand recently launched a sustainability initiative, you can share a post about why sustainability became a personal conviction for you as a leader, tying data to belief. The idea is to transform corporate proof points into leadership storytelling where insight meets emotion.

Step 3: Repurpose Content Smartly

Here’s the truth: Most B2B CXOs don’t need to write from scratch. You need to rewrite with relevance. Brand content already carries the seeds of a great personal story. You just need to repurpose it through your lens. Take this approach:

• Convert a thought leadership article into a post that begins with “What this means for our customers…”

• Use a company milestone to highlight your team’s resilience or leadership culture.

• Turn a client success story into a short post about innovation, teamwork, or learning.

  
  

Your brand’s owned content can generate earned exposure. For instance, a high-performing blog (owned media) can be made shareable for partners (earned media) and then promoted through LinkedIn ads (paid media) for greater reach. That’s how you make your content ecosystem work smarter, not harder.

Step 4: Try Curating your (B2B Personal Branding) Content

One mistake executives often make is sharing brand content as is, turning their feeds into secondary company pages. Try not to echo the brand’s voice.

Think of yourself as the bridge between brand authority and audience authenticity. Your followers aren’t looking for corporate perfection; they’re looking for your perspective. So instead of posting, “We launched our new AI-driven analytics platform.”

Try: “When we began developing this platform two years ago, our biggest challenge wasn’t technical, it was cultural. Getting teams to trust data meant rethinking how decisions were made.” You would agree the message is the same, but there is a deeper connection built in the 2^nd example.

Step 5: Create a Repeatable System

Once you’ve identified what to share and how to personalize it, consistency becomes your best ally. Start small, one post every two weeks. Structure your personal narrative pipeline like this:

• Week 1: Share a story that is reflective, value-driven, or people-centric.

• Week 3: Share a proof, a case study, a metric, or an announcement reframed with your insight.

  
  

Over time, you’ll notice patterns in what resonates, and those patterns become your personal content pillars.

Step 6: B2B CXO Can Partner Where It Matters

While everything above can be done individually, the reality is: CXOs have limited time and infinite demands.

That’s where Flywheelr comes in. Our team specializes in B2B personal branding for LinkedIn, helping leaders like you turn brand content into belief-driven narratives.

We act as your editorial partner, curating ideas, coaching clarity, and ensuring your posts reflect both your expertise and your company’s vision. Because your voice shouldn’t sound like marketing, it should sound like leadership.

Your brand already tells a story. But when you start speaking it with conviction, context, and curiosity, people stop scrolling and start listening. So, before creating something new, look at what’s already in front of you. Your next great post might already exist; it just needs your voice.

And if you’d like a partner to help uncover it, Flywheelr can help you turn content into credibility, one story at a time- https://www.flywheelr.com/book-a-strategy-session

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why should CXOs build personal narratives instead of only sharing company content?

Because people trust people more than brands. When CXOs add their own insights, beliefs, and lived experiences to company content, it becomes credible, memorable, and shareable. A personal lens turns corporate information into thought leadership.

2. How do I know which brand content to repurpose into a personal post or article?

Look for assets that already show a shift, a decision, a lesson, or a challenge, such as case studies, milestone announcements, press features, or project breakdowns. If the content reflects how the company thinks or solves problems, it can easily be tied to your personal leadership philosophy.

3. What’s the best way to add my voice without making the content sound promotional?

Use this simple layering technique:

• Start with your perspective (what you believe)

• Add the story behind the brand moment

• Share what it taught you as a leader

• End with a takeaway for your audience

  
  

  This shifts the focus from promotion → to value → to leadership.
