LinkedIn debuts a new training program to help B2B professionals grow their influence through storytelling, content strategy, and platform-native tools.

LinkedIn is investing in the next generation of B2B influencers. On June 25, the platform launched the B2B Creator Academy, a structured training program designed to help professionals build their personal brand, grow their audience, and create high-impact content on LinkedIn.

The academy offers on-demand video lessons, live workshops, and case studies from top-performing creators across industries. Topics include thought leadership strategy, storytelling frameworks, content planning, and how to use LinkedIn’s native tools—like newsletters, carousels, and collaborative articles—to drive engagement.

LinkedIn says the initiative is aimed at “democratizing influence” in the B2B space, helping subject matter experts, founders, and marketers become more visible and credible in their fields. The program is free and open to all users, with tailored tracks for different experience levels.

The launch comes as LinkedIn continues to evolve from a professional network into a content-first platform, with over 150 million newsletter subscriptions and a growing ecosystem of creators driving conversation in industries like tech, finance, healthcare, and marketing.

By formalizing creator education, LinkedIn is betting that influence is no longer reserved for B2C personalities—and that B2B voices can be just as powerful, if not more, when equipped with the right tools.
