4 Podcasts for Digital Marketing

To be a successful as a digital and social media marketer, you need to stay up to date on industry trends. It is also helpful to observe the successes and failures of other marketers in order to hone leading-edge strategies and tactics for your own projects. Most marketers are constantly plugged into a computer or mobile device. We check Twitter, Mashable, RSS feeds and more to stay one step ahead of the competition.

But what happens when you are forced to 'unplug' from those devices, such as in a car or on a plane? Podcasts provide a great medium for continuing professional education on-the-go. Listen to conversations with thought-leaders and free-flowing discussions on business challenges and trends. This type of flexible on-demand information fits perfectly into even the busiest marketer's schedule.
