So…finding more blogs on my topic is proving to be a much more difficult task than I thought. However, my efforts were not entirely futile; I found a few blogs on advertising and culture that I thought were quite interesting.
ADVERTISING/MARKETING BLOGS:
Adrants – This blog is similar to Frederik Samuel’s in that it takes a look at specific advertisements and critiques them on their design and marketing techniques. He also seeks to provide commentary on the “cultural and demographic shifts affecting advertising strategies.” But what drew me to this particular publication was the writer’s witty, “no holds barred” attitude toward the subject of advertising. He tells it exactly as it is.
Hard Sell –Unlike the other blogs that I found previously, this one actually looked at advertising from the business perspective. It provided really good facts and information on the latest marketing trends and advertising campaigns. As someone who wants to go into the marketing business, it is just as important to know the ins and outs of the industry.
CULTURE BLOGS:
Imprint TALK – If you want up to date information on the hottest trends emerging in the Asian pop and youth culture, this is the blog to go to. You'll find out what's new on topics from Anime and art to fashion and film to music and technology. I thought this blog was noteworthy because it highlights the achievements of Asian Pacific Islanders in all areas of the creative industries.
Bakit Why? - This is a blog that reaches out specifically to Filipino Americans. You can find stories that highlight the activities of Filipino Americans, as mainstream as those who are working in the entertainment industry to more local heroes who are striving to make changes in their own neighborhood. It's also a great forum for people to discuss and comment on a number of social issues that are affecting this community.
