32 Texas Marketers You Should Follow

One of the best parts of modern marketing is getting to know the people behind it.

Luckily, marketers are often social (online and off), and crave opportunities to network with others in their field. Thousands of in-person events happen each year for connecting and discussing challenges and triumphs. On top of that, thousands upon thousands of digital events happen in the forms of Google Hangouts, marketing chats, or LinkedIn Group conversations.

I love meeting other marketers. In fact, I do it daily on our social channels (including @Kapost) and in the Content Marketing Academy LinkedIn group.

But on occasion, I get to connect in-person, as will be the case on May 8th, where I’ll be hanging out with some great Texas marketers at Content.Austin.

I looked into some marketers I should know there, and what did I discover? A lot of cool content originating in Austin, fueled by a lot of cool people.

To celebrate marketers of the Lone Star State, I’ve rounded up (with the help of some locals) a list of people to keep your eye on for fantastic marketing know-how. Included below are their LinkedIn profiles as well as their Twitter profiles.

You can follow everyone at once here.

And if you’re Texas-based, make your way to Austin on May 8th to chat all things marketing with fellow professionals (including many of the group below) and give me a high five.
