5 Great Marketing, Branding and Advertising Blogs You Might Not Be Reading

Susan Gunelius — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:00:01 +0000

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a long time, and today is the day I decided to sit down and do it. There are so many great blogs about marketing, branding, advertising, design, and so on that don’t get the praise or traffic they deserve. Following is a list of marketing-related blogs that are so much fun to read, and you might not even know about them yet:

Prescott Perez-Fox

Prescott Perez-Fox’s blog provides his common sense, often amusing take on the world of branding. Prescott is wise beyond his years when it comes to branding, and I love reading his insights.

Angry Lush

Brad Choma is a designer who has done work for major brand such as Lysol and Heineken. He writes his blog to share his thoughts and opinions on the world of design — from logos to packaging and everything in between. I love his blunt, often sarcastic and always amusing, take on the world of advertising.

Your Logo Makes Me Barf

I love this blog, which I found through Brad Choma of Angry Lush. Your Logo Makes Me Barf does to logo design what Perez Hilton does to celebrity antics. It’s very blunt, borderline crude, and just plain funny. If you want to know what not to do with logo design, check out this blog.

Siegel & Gale Ideas

I love the blog from leading branding company Siegel & Gale. The Siegel & Gale philosophy embraces simplicity in marketing and branding, and I am a huge advocate of common sense, simple marketing, too. It’s not surprising that I like this blog! Read my interview with Alan Siegel of Siegel & Gale.

Daily SEO Tip

This is a great blog written by SEO experts who provide a useful SEO tip everyday. It’s a must-read for online marketers who need to boost their SEO knowledge. I like that it’s written in plain English, so anyone can understand and implement the suggested tips.

KeySplash Creative Ranked 14 in Junta42 Top 42 Marketing Blogs

Susan Gunelius — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:55:57 +0000

I’m very excited to announce that the KeySplash Creative Conversations blog ranked 14th in the new Junta 42 Top 42 Marketing Blogs.

This quarter’s update included a record 224 blogs, up from 187 last quarter. In addition, the Junta42 Top 42 are now featured as part of the content marketing category at Alltop.com (which will be updated soon with the new 42).

According to the Junta42 selection criteria, “Other than the Top 42 being an amazing collection of the best marketing and publishing minds in the world, we like the creation of this list because it’s not all based on data coming from the likes of Alexa, Technorati, Bloglines and other top blog lists that purely “count” stuff. … The Top 42 Content Marketing blogs include those thought leaders who are carrying the flag of the content revolution, teaching both buyers and sellers how to better communicate with each other.”

Here is the complete Top 42 Content Marketing Blogs:
