The Bracketology Winner

If you could only read one marketing-related blog which blog would that be? Tough question. Easy answer …

---

Nothing against Church of the Customer or any of the other blogs in my Marketing Bloggers Bracketology chart. It’s just the Daily Fix covers the most topics in the most consistent manner. And that's why I'm declaring Marketing Profs Daily Fix winners of my ad-hoc/off-the-cuff tournament for marketing blog supremacy

Ann Handley has compiled a strong tail list of interesting marketers sounding off on relevant marketing matters. Andrea Learned, Jeanne Bliss, Stephen Denny, Ted Mininni, David Armano, CK, and Lewis Green all consistently post worthwhile reading for any marketer. Add in some of the infrequent contributers like Spike Jones, Jill Griffin, Mike Wagner, Debbie Weil, Roy Young … and you have a stable of marketing bloggers that are unrivaled.

Kudos to the Marketing Profs Daily Fix for helping to make this marketer smarter. Thanks.

And if you haven’t added the Marketing Profs Daily Fix to your RSS reader, you should. (And if you have yet to start using an RSS reader, START.)

Way to go Daily Fix. Oh, and as a Florida alum, Go Gators! Two for two ain't bad. Thanks for the shout out John.

[Spike]

Dammit, I'm trying not to be an infrequent contributer!

[David Armano]

Spike, I think he has us confused. I'm so infrequent it's frequent.

But, I'm happy I made it to the winners circle somehow! :)

Marketing Profs is an amazing blog and Ann Handley is the connector with class (and style). Great competition.

Congratulations to Ann and the crew over at MarketingProfs! Looks like I had the picks all wrong, John. Oh well, there's always next year...

Hey, maybe next time the winner can shave the loser's head, like the Vince McMahon / Donald Trump WWE smackdown!

David ... frequently infrequent works for me.

Scott ... let's raise the stakes higher than hair. Loser leaves the blogosphere! Now that would raise 'dem stakes, eh?

[Ann Handley]

Thanks so much for the honor and kind words, John. "Strong tail"... I kinda like that.

The true honor goes to all of those who give of their time, expertise and energy to write for the Daily Fix, for little more than the joy of adding their voice to the mix. You've named a few of them here, but I'd also include Mack Collier, Elaine Fogel, Alain Thys, Gavin Heaton, Leigh Duncan, Gerry McGovern, Harry Joiner, Jim Lenskold, Shelley Ryan, Jim Kukral, Sara Holoubek, Tim Jackson, Toby Bloomberg, Jon Kranz, Laurel Delaney, Mario Sundar, Nedra Weinreich, Karl Long, and Paul Barsch, among *still* others!

I would thank YOU, BTW... but you keep spurning my attempts to recruit you!! Good thing I'm not a Scorpio. Oh, wait... I am. Oops.

: )

Anyway -- thanks so much for the honor. Coming from you, it's high praise indeed.

Couldn't agree more. Daily Fix is always my first stop (sorry John, you come in second). Always great reads and lively conversations.

[Michael Wagner]

Ann Handley is the thoughtful and daring connector for Daily Fix. I agree totally with your choice John. Though I learn from everyone that made it to the dance....along with many others who didn't.

Do we get to cut down the nets now?

Keep creating John...it freaks people out,
Mike

Bravo Ann and BBFs at the Daily Fix! Guess that t-shirt guy was wrong; but wouldn't a Bracketology t-shirt be cool? johnmoore .. thanks for the fun March madness game.

[Stephen Denny]

Da Fix is #1. Can't argue with that. Much as I like many of the others, too, but when you're manually turning the wheels of industry and only have time for one read, this is the right one.

Can't wait for the A-list vs Z-list blog celebrity claymation smackdown promised next week!

[Jeanne Bliss]

John:

What a good egg you are to shine this bright light on Marketing Profs Daily Fix.

All I can say is that it's an honor and a privilege to be one of Ann Handley's blog groupies :). Honestly, contributing is a great brain-sharpener and Ann's supremo editing keeps me on my toes.

Thanks!
Jeanne
