The latest ranking of Australia’s Marketing Pioneer Blogs has been released by Julian Cole and once again Sticky has 3 entries in the top 40.

Gordon Whitehead’s The Marketer blog has retired in blaze of glory after being ranked 15th. His new site is called The Git.

Craig Wilson’s Media Hunter site comes in at 18th spot, while our agency site (this one) is 34th.

Overall, we’re very proud to be included among Australia’s leading marketing bloggers and that the agency is so well represented.

The list has also been published in the current issue of B&T Magazine (although with some changes).

Media Hunter’s recent post titled ‘A Web 2.0 President?’ created quite a buzz in the blogosphere last month, inspiring AdNews digital expert Mark Chenery to write an excellent article in his regular ‘DIGITALWATCH’ column.

Mark Chenery writes: “If Barack Obama wins the Presidential elections in the US on 4 November the effects on Australian marketing will be profound.”

Mark credits Media Hunter for the articles inspiration using Craig’s examples of Obama social media ventures as its foundation.

“Craig Wilson of Sticky Advertising recently wrote an excellent post on his Media Hunter blog detailing some Obama’s social media ventures.” writes Mark.

Both of these articles beg the question; if social networking is such a phenomenon, what effect will an Obama win have on brands in Australia?

Julian Cole’s second appraisal of Australia’s Top 50 Marketing blogs has been published in B&T Magazine and we are proud to say that Sticky Advertising has figured prominently.

The 10 October issue of B&T lists the Top 50 Marketing blogs and a feature article Welcome to Australia’s Marketing Blogosphere.

Craig’s Media Hunter blog came in at #13 (up several spots from the original ranking) and was closely followed by fellow Sticky blogger Gordon Whitehead’s The Marketer at #14.

The most pleasant surprise though was seeing our new agency website being ranked #32 in Australia.

Having three sites from the one agency figuring so highly in social media and blogging circles is quite an honour and something that we will endeavour to maintain.

Once again congratulations to Julian Cole for taking the time to trawl the Aussie blogosphere. And congrats to B&T for embracing this new strand of the marketing world. It’s further proof that blogging and social media are gaining relevance in Australia.

Gordon and I headed down to Sydney yesterday for the Future of Media Summit 2008 hosted by Ross Dawson and his Future Exploration Network. Firstly, congratulations to Ross and his hard-working team for putting on such a professional and informative event. It went off without a a hitch and everyone was extremely accommodating.

Officially the #FOM08 event was held in two parts: the conference session with live simulcast between Sydney and Silicon Valley, and the “Unconference” sessions allowing for debate and open forum conversation on various topics.

However, like last month’s PubCamp events in Sydney and Melbourne, there was a third aspect to the event that only half the attendees were aware of – the Twitter back channel and live commentary being conducted by many of the audience. For me, this was at least as informative and stimulating as the conference itself.
