I was thrilled to have this fiveminutemarketing.com blog nominated for the Top 10 Social Media Blogs 2017 by Social Media Examiner. While my blog didn’t make the final top 10 cut, being on the shortlist with such awesome company was truly an honour. Do yourself a favour and check out this year’s Top 10 list. There are several here I already follow, and a couple new ones I intend to start. The content featured on these blogs is top notch, having been vetted and awarded by industry and peers.
I am truly grateful to the folks who took the time to submit a nomination, and in particular for the kind words shared with Social Media Examiner on the nomination site. With gratitude I share them again here as well.
I nominate Mary Charleson’s www.fiveminutemarketing.com for the 8th Annual Social Media blog awards. In the past year alone Five Minute Marketing has explored such topics as brand trust in the new economy; the personality of grand brands; and what happens when beer commercials choose reckless over responsibility. One of her most thought-provoking posts of the year followed on the heels of the Trump election victory, as she delved into a world of frustration tuned out by the mainstream media–and its audiences. The writing is tight, smart and to-the-point, and Mary sticks to her five-minute promise so you can get on with your day a little savvier than you started. – Victoria Miles
