Blog List

Over the past two months I have been busy: starting an internship, moving, and attending numerous family functions. As a result my blog has suffered from a serious lack of love. But while I haven't had time to blog, I've tried to find the time to keep up with my favorite blogs. There are numerous blogs I follow, however there are three blogs that really stand out. 

 In no particular order, here are my top three favorite blogs.

1) The Big Orange Slide

This is a great marketing blog from Toronto agency Grip Limited. The blog takes its name from the giant orange slide inside Grip's office. The Big Orange Slide covers a wide range of topics from digital to strategy to creative, and everything in between.

The Big Orange Slide is a must read for me, and I am never let down by its creative content.

You can follow Grip and The Big Orange Slide on twitter @bigorangeslide.

2) Blogging Me Blogging You

Blogging Me, Blogging You is the personal blog from Ed Lee, director of social media at DDB Toronto. This is my favorite social media and communications blog. In my opinion, anyone who is interested in social media should read Blogging Me Blogging You. Lee is an expert on social media and was recently interviewed for the Marketing Magazines article The Very Necessary Twitter Guide. 

3) AdFreak

Edited by Tim Nudd, Adweek's AdFreak is a daily advertising digest. It compiles the best and worst ads, promos, and media  from around the world. Posts are numerous and offer an interesting commentary on the brand direction.

I love this blog because its posts are current and offers insight on ads from around the world. This was one of the first blogs that made me start thinking about brand personality and brand behavior in marketing and advertising.
