In the fast-paced world of marketing, it can be hard to decipher what marketing information is up to date or what is well...dated. Gasp. (Yes, we just said the marketing bad word: dated.)
We say this jokingly, but this is a real worry in the marketing industry. If you are not up to speed with marketing trends, you will quickly fall behind the competition. That is one position that no marketer wants to be in.
So, how do you stay relevant in a changing marketing landscape while continuing to drive results? The answer is in reading valuable marketing blogs and listening to podcasts by marketing "thought leaders."
Because at LAIRE, we want you to taste marketing success. We compiled a list of the top marketing blogs and podcast you need to add to your reading/listening que.
