It’s not exactly a scoop, but Mack Collier from Viral Garden was kind enough to pass on his selection of Top 25 Marketing Blogs. As I mentioned to Mack, my only dissapointment was that Guy Kawasaki’s blog wasn’t on the list, but apart from that it’s a great list that all eager marketing-bloggers or wannabe-marketing-bloggers should check out.

In conclusion, I have to quote from one of my Top 5 marketing blog picks – “Marketing Profs blog”. Joseph Jaffe writes:
“Brands that remain aloof, distanced, separatist and siloed will loss ground and momentum to consumers hungry for engagement. On the flipside, brands that open up themselves to their consumers – from enemies through prospects through customers through loyalists – will allow themselves the possibility to be internalized, taken to heart and essentially elevated to a new and very different place in the heart, mind and collective consciousness.”
Just replace “brands” with “blogs” and you’ll notice that the same holds true for marketing blogs as well. The Top 5 blogs I picked allow themselves the possibility to be elevated to a different place in the heart, mind and collective consciousness of us marketers!
