Last month, we launched a brand-new podcast called The DigitalMarketer Podcast, and it’s been getting some stellar reviews…
This new podcast will give you:
- A guided tour through the landscape of digital marketing
- Introduce you to subject matter experts who are really doing this stuff
- Show you what’s working NOW in online marketing
It’s hosted by our own Garrett Holmes and Jenna Snavely, and will be an extension of the DigitalMarketer blog—giving you an even deeper dive into the topics you want to know more about.
We’re biased, obviously, but we think it’s pretty great and you should give it a listen. 🙂
And speaking of great podcasts, we asked the DigitalMarketer community and the DigitalMarketer team for the best digital marketing podcasts.
