101 Badass Marketing Writers: The Ultimate List

There’s so much marketing content out there it can sometimes be tough to wade through it all. There’s so many authors writing you don’t know who you can trust.

This is a list of the 101 online marketing experts who write on a regular basis. Because we’ve focused only on thought-leaders who are still writing, you may not see the most recognizable names.

What you will see is 101 online marketing thought-leaders and writers (organized into their area of expertise) alongside a recent published piece of content or directory of their work.

We’re open to adding writers to this list, provided they meet a few requirements. And it’s always possible we forgot some we know and love as well, so recommend or link your favorite marketing writer in the comment section below!
