There are several key trade magazines that you need to read daily (via RSS or email service)

Advertising Age -- You can specify which of the 4 or 5 daily newsletters to get. These do usually have the latest ad campaigns or agency changes (new directions in marketing are planned) The latest commercials and which have gone viral. You also get changes in key officers and executives, also indicators of marketing/advertising trend changes. We get the full text from aggregators, not directly from the magazine, so sign up for the newsletters directly with the Ad Age web site.

InsiderIntelligence.com -- This is a commerical service to which ASU Library does not subscribe. However, they do put out a daily newsletter on ecommerce trends. These articles are free and often provide generational or mobile trends.

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
