French term or phrase: leadership d'opinion
I am working on a text discussing Twitter for business, and they are talking about using Twitter as a way to "démontrer votre leadership d'opinion dans votre domaine"
Leadership d'opinion seems to be a buzz word in marketing and social media, but I cannot find the English equivalent.

opinion leader
Explanation:
correct Twitter-speak (I'm a Twitter user myself with 3 accounts) would actually be "influencer" (cf klout.com for example), but as I think this is discussing Twitter but is not actually on Twitter "opinion leader" would be better
eg "show(ing) that you're an opinion leader..."
