Is Blogging Cheugy?
The Evolution of Blogging About Marketing in the Digital Age
In the ever-evolving landscape of digital marketing, being a blogger can feel like standing at the crossroads of creativity and technology, where each turn promises new adventures and endless possibilities… but do people still read anything online?
Despite the rise of social media influencers and the transient nature of viral content, blogging is far from cheugy (for my fellow millennial or older readers, that’s a Gen Z term for something outdated or out-of-style). It remains a critical medium for in-depth analysis, thoughtful discourse, and the cultivation of a dedicated audience. Blogging still matters because it offers a platform for nuanced perspectives, long-form content, and evergreen resources that social media posts simply cannot match. As we navigate this dynamic terrain over the next several weeks, let’s explore what you can expect and why following this blog will be a valuable investment for your marketing acumen.
The Digital Pulse: Why Blogging About Marketing is Thrilling
Blogging about marketing in the digital age is like being a conductor in a symphony. The rapid pace of change and innovation means there’s always something new to learn, discuss, and dissect. Whether it’s the latest algorithm update from Google, a groundbreaking campaign that’s going viral, or emerging trends in consumer behavior, the digital marketing space is a goldmine of insights and opportunities.
The Intersection of Creativity and Analytics
One of the most fascinating aspects of digital marketing is the blend of creativity and analytics. On one hand, we have creative campaigns that capture hearts and minds (the “wow” or “aww!” factor), and on the other, data-driven strategies that ensure these campaigns hit the mark. Blogging about this interplay allows us to delve deep into the art and science of marketing, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of what makes successful campaigns… successful!
What to Expect in the Coming Weeks
Over the next several weeks, I’ll be diving into a variety of topics designed to arm you with the latest insights and practical strategies to elevate your own marketing game. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:
1. Emerging Trends and Technologies
I’ll explore how AI and machine learning are reshaping the marketing landscape. From chatbots that enhance customer service to predictive analytics that refine targeting, these technologies are transforming how we engage with audiences.

Content remains king, but the rules of the game are constantly evolving. I’ll dissect successful content strategies, provide tips on creating compelling content from my own experience and those of several case studies, and share insights on how to leverage different formats, from blogs to videos to podcasts and beyond.
3. SEO in 2024
SEO is the backbone of digital visibility.

Expect practical tips on how to keep your website at the top of search engine results pages, even in our curent era of Google searches that end with “reddit” to cut through ads and promoted pages.
4. Social Media Strategies
Social media platforms are continuously evolving, with new features and algorithms that can make or break your marketing efforts. As a social media creator myself and a member of Meta’s Creator Advisory Board, I’ll discuss effective strategies for each major platform, from Instagram’s latest updates to LinkedIn’s powerful B2B tools.
