To say the digital marketing industry moves fast would be an understatement. And with everything changing and moving around so quickly, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind on the news that matters.  

From in-depth analysis of trends, best practice, to breaking news, these brilliant publications will help you stay up to date with the ever-changing world that is digital marketing.  

So, with that in mind, this week’s #FocusFive shares what we consider to be five essential sources for your latest marketing news. These are the blogs we’re reading - every week.

Neil Patel Marketing Blog

Yes, we know we share Neil Patel’s stuff a lot. But there’s a good reason for that. If you want to learn more about SEO, digital marketing, conversion optimisation, eCommerce, or how to generate more sales, Neil Patel’s marketing blog is quite simply one of the best.

Search Engine Land

If you work in search, you probably already read Search Engine Land. If you don’t, or you don’t know it, it’s the industry’s go-to news source for both breaking headlines and detailed analysis. It should be on every search marketer’s list.

Media Post

Media Post is one of the most comprehensive digital marketing, media and advertising news sources there is. They’re often one the first to break major stories. Their coverage is extensive and covers both online and offline media news. They’re one of the best all-round news sources.

Social Media Examiner

The Social Media Examiner doesn’t just report on social media news; they also offer proven tips on how you can use it. This blend of news and strategy makes the content actionable and useful.

Content Marketing Institute

The Content Marketing Institute’s (CMI) mission is to advance the practice of content marketing. The site is full of practical, how-to guidance, and you’ll also find insight and advice from experts, with an active community discussing the latest news, information, and advances that are moving the content marketing industry forward. The CMI blog and their whitepapers are a rich resource of information for content marketers.
