For the last ten weeks, we proudly hosted a weekly blog series dedicated to surfacing critical resources for marketers looking to learn new skills in 2018. Like all good blog series, this one has come to an end.
But you don’t have to miss out. Revisit all the top resources for marketers here:

Learning is a lifelong process. Without learning and development, we flounder. Technology passes us by. Potential lies undiscovered and dormant. Old skills stagnate and new ones fail ever to form.
With that in mind, today’s resource is: MECLABS
MECLABS Institute is a research laboratory dedicated to learning how people make choices. For marketers, this is the holy grail. If we knew exactly what made someone purchase from us over our competitors, we could build the most successful company the world has ever seen.
What makes MECLABS such a great resource is the amount of content they put out on the subject. And these aren’t simply best practices written by industry experts, these are analyses of real-world experiments.
From white papers, to books, to live videos, there is a wealth of information to be obtained. The more their advice sinks in, and the more you apply it to the work that you and your team are doing on a day to day basis, the better off you’ll be.
In addition to their featured research, you can attend online or in-person training to learn the kind of hands-on skills needed to be a successful marketer.

With that in mind, today’s resource is: Occam’s Razor
Occam’s Razor is the blog run by Avinash Kaushik. Avinash is the author of two bestselling books about analytics, Digital Marketnig Evangelist for Google, and co-founder an online marketing education company called Market Motive.
He is a prominent writer and speaker on all things marketing and his blog is filled with vital, insightful information on topics ranging from data optimization and analysis, measuring marketing effectiveness and ROI, and successful presentation and advocacy.
All of the posts at Occam’s Razor are filled to the brim with great content. They are longer reads, but well worth the time it takes to absorb the information.
Best of all, Avinash added an email newsletter that adds valuable backstories to many of his posts and frequently contains real-life examples of the practices he preaches for and against in the blog.
For the casual marketer who wants to learn how to work with data, how to measure marketing success, and how to prove to the higher ups what is working and why, Occam’s Razor is a must-read.
