As my first blog post for Comm 296, I decided to do a little research into the online world of marketing. As the world of marketing is almost completely foreign to me, I looked around the web in order to find some useful outlets to serve as a platform to help me. Amongst the many different websites and blogs that I stumbled across, I found a few that will likely stick with me. One of them being, Marketing Week.

Marketing Week is an online magazine that offers news that reflects everything marketing. From sports to sustainability, MW has a diverse selection of reading material. I also enjoyed the links provided on the site, as it refers you to several different blogs from other professionals. With weekly issues and subscriptions, it is easy to follow and stay on top of the marketing world. A second site that I found extremely interesting was Power 150.

This site ranked the top 150 marketing blogs in the world at every moment in time. The site scored all the different blogs by a voting system based off social-networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, etc.) I think Power 150 is an excellent way to browse the Marketing world, and serves as a pretty good measurement to compare my blog to others. I find it very interesting to be able to see the opinions of people on blogs. To conclude, it is evident that the internet is filled with several different marketing news outlets and blogs but hopefully this post can help cut the search down.
