TippNews DAILY: Top 5 Digital Marketing Blogs
Brian Solis is the only blog on this list thatâs ran by a single digital marketing expert. All of the other blogs consist of a marketing team dedicated to writing their blog as well. However, Solis enjoys writing so much heâs actually written several best-selling books about business, content management, and digital marketing including âX: The Experience When Business Meets Design,â âWhatâs the Future of Business?: Changing the Way Businesses Create Experiences,â and âEngage!: The Complete Guide for Brands and Businesses to Build, Cultivate, and Measure Success in the New Web.â Currently heâs ranked as one of the worldâs leading sources of information when it comes to the future of business, technology, and marketing. The nice thing about this blog though is it has a personal touch the other blogs on this list are lacking. You neednât worry about whether or not reading a blog by a single author is a good idea either because Solis has lots of experience and ability, as well as a great reputation to back him and his blog up.
