Attention Social Fresh community: We need your help.

The corporate blog is not dead.

The blog is the cornerstone of publishing and content marketing for your company, but all too often companies focus on the next shiny object in social media, forgetting about the importance of owning their own content in a place where consumers, both current and prospective, can come back any time to consume a wealth of information.

While some corporate blogs have become the stuff of legend, still we see many companies struggle to identify where their return is coming from.

We’re asking for your help in unearthing the latest and greatest examples of blogs.

What business blogs are doing a good job? Who are the folks you’ll gladly give your email address to? Where do you go back to time and again? Or subscribe to? Which ones do you share with your boss, your team, your social networks?

You know the type, the ones that make you say, “I wish I wrote that!”

This is the 4th year of the Social Fresh Corporate Blog Awards. Help us spotlight the best of the best with your comments below.
