We’ll be sharing a monthly list of our favorite things – tools, resources, books, etc. that we find helpful in the ever-evolving and super cool world of marketing. This month we’re sharing a list of the email subscriptions we like.
These are the emails that we read EVERY time they come in our inbox. We look forward to opening them (no, seriously!) They’re the ones we share the most amongst our team, or with our clients and friends.
Why we love these email subscriptions:
- The content is relevant and timely
- It helps make us smarter, inspired, and better at our jobs
- We can read them in 5 minutes or less
- It’s customized to our interests – taking into account any preferences we’ve provided
We hope you find this list helpful and find a few you want to subscribe to!
