Yesterday, I wrote about my favorite attorney blogs. Today, I am going to show you my favorite marketing, PR, and legal/advertising/marketing/social media consultant blogs. The following blogs are the places I begin when I need some inspiration for my business. There are literally hundreds of blogs like these but these are some of the best (as far as I am concerned).
1. The Fight Against Destructive Spin by Gini Dietrich
Gini is the CEO of Arment Dietrich, a Public Relations firm in Chicago, Illinois. I LOVE Gini. I think she is fabulous. I truly look forward to her blog posts and feel a little disappointed when there is not a new one. She makes it all seem so easy. You want to learn how to use a certain Web 2.0 tool, she is your woman. You want some advice on how to market yourself, she is your woman. Her blog posts are always useful and she is a wonderful person. Follow her on Twitter at: @ginideitrich.
2. Legal Marketing Blog.com by Tom Kane
Tom is a former attorney who has an excellent blog all about marketing for any size law firm. His blog has some excellent tips and tricks that help focus your marketing efforts. Presently, he is running some older blog posts due to a death in the family. Even these older posts have given me some new ideas.
3. Outspoken Media by Rae Hoffman, Rhea Drysdale and Lisa Barone
These three ladies have a great blog that covers topics such as blogging, branding, SEO, and social media. Their blog posts are entertaining and informative. They are definitely one of my favorites to read. You can find them on Twitter at: @OutspokenMedia.
4. Mark Merenda’s SmartMarketing Blog by Mark Merenda
Mark’s blog is awesome. He is funny, informative, and his insight on many different topics is always entertaining to read. Mark is number one on my list of people to hire next year. His work on marketing for attorneys is incredible and his work always speaks for itself. He is active in a numerous list-servs and always willing to help. You can follow him on Twitter at: @markmerenda.
5. Ducttape Marketing by John Jantsch
John is a small business marketing expert. He has a list of credentials to back up everything that he says. Many of his blog articles are collections of information that is full of useful information. I like that his blog links to so many other sites, where I can find new people to connect with and learn from. You can follow him on Twitter at: @Ducttape.
