What is a Subject Matter Expert Interview?
An interview is a piece of content that consists of a conversation between two people – one asking questions, and the other answering. Typically an interview is conducted with a specialist or expert in a specific field, but an interview could also be conducted with a client or customer.
Whether written or conducted on video, interviews can inform, educate, and entertain. They also serve to position you or your brand as thought leaders within your industry.
Interviews can make fantastic articles or blog content, and can even be broken up into smaller chunks for social media or an email series. They serve to bring in an outside perspective and voice with regard to your industry.
How Interviews Enhance Your Marketing
When you interview someone who is already a leader in your field, you borrow a bit of their credibility. You increase your audience by reaching theirs, and vice versa.
The very act of interviewing an expert builds trust in your brand.
Additionally, when you interview an expert, you can cover topics more in-depth than you might ordinarily. Sometimes all it takes is a different voice for a message to land with your audience.
Interviews have long been a popular form of content, and they offer these other benefits:
- Essentially guaranteed backlinks from your guest’s site
- The ability to repurpose across channels, which makes them cost-effective
- They are easy to replicate once you’ve dialed in your format

But Wait, There’s More
Interviews make for great stories. Audiences love hearing about personal experiences and interviews can help to humanize your brand.
The best interviews benefit both the interviewer and the interviewee. That being said, a good interviewer knows how to build a rapport without making the experience all about them.
That’s a highly specialized skill and may be outside the scope of your current content team. Or maybe you don’t have a content team at all! That’s where ClearVoice comes in. We can match you with vetted interview writers who will have quality conversations with industry leaders to deliver top-notch content for your audience.
