When I’m interviewing someone or talking to someone looking to break into marketing, I always ask if they have any go to sources for marketing news / insights / tips & tricks, etc.

Typically the answer is some form of feed.

“I scroll LinkedIn”
or
“TikTok shows me a lot”
or
“I follow a lot of marketing people on Instagram”

I’m never impressed by this.

My advice, find a few blogs / sites / newsletters related to your role and/or area of interest and subscribe in a way that there isn’t an algorithm between you and the most recent update.

Email is good. RSS* is my preferred method.

Keep feeds for discovery and entertainment.
Create a space you control for learning.
Cultivate your own curious corner.

*RSS Tools

• Newsblur gives you an email address to use so you can get newsletters and RSS feeds in one place
• feeeed gives you a more social feed feel
• Feedly is easy (I no longer use it)
• Tapestry goes beyond just RSS, like a custom, cross-platform feed
