I usually get most of my updates from Instagram. I don't really need to make the effort to research on what's trending. It also helps to follow certain pages that post about advertising or marketing.

Almost all my social media is curated to follow marketing trends & keep a pulse check on the industry. Which are some of the blogs you follow Hamza?
Share
@my3_murthy That's a smart approach! I follow blogs like HubSpot for inbound strategies, Moz for SEO insights, Neil Patel for digital marketing tactics, and Social Media Examiner for social media updates. These sources keep me informed on the latest trends and strategies in the marketing industry.

I run Stackradar - which is a vetted curation of tech - so I have to be on top of this stuff! I subscribe to blogs, product updates/changelogs and specific publications which I have sorted in Feedly, then I have social accounts specifically dedicated to following profiles that publish about the latest tech like Product Hunt (duh) VCs, tech ‘influencers’ for lack of a better word and so on. I find it difficult to sift through the noise (i.e. the billions of AI as-a-product tools coming out daily) but fine tuning your feeds by letting the algorithms take hold works well enough lol

I don't do anything super specific just to get insights about the latest marketing trends and technologies. Instead, I've got a pretty eclectic mix of sources that keep me in the loop: 📧 Subscribed to a bunch of newsletters – my inbox is a goldmine of fresh ideas and trends. 💡 Follow a lot of thought leaders (not just in marketing) – inspiration can come from anywhere! 🎙️ Listen to podcasts – perfect for soaking up knowledge during a commute or workout. 📺 Watch YouTube videos – there's always something new and exciting to learn from industry experts. By tapping into these diverse sources, I get a steady stream of insights and stay up-to-date without even trying too hard. It's all about keeping it interesting and varied! 🎉

I check out industry blogs too! Also, I follow LinkedIn influencers and join marketing Slack groups to keep up. Any other good sources?

@charleshallx Great approach! Besides industry blogs, LinkedIn influencers, and marketing Slack groups, you might want to check out podcasts like "Marketing Over Coffee" or "The Marketing Book Podcast." Also, subscribing to newsletters from platforms like HubSpot, Moz, and Neil Patel can provide valuable insights. Don't forget about joining relevant LinkedIn groups and attending webinars or virtual conferences for the latest trends and networking opportunities.
