Marketing Bloggers Bracketology
John Moore over at Brand Autopsy put together a bracket of the top 64 marketing blogs and put us head to head for a little March Madness of our own. Unbelievably enough, Marketing Hipster was actually invited to the big dance..
We were seeded as a #16 seed which meant we went up against a #1 seed in Creating Passionate Users. I have been a reader and fan of Kathy and Dan for a long time and even though the Hipsters are scrappy and we had cinderella dreams in our hearts, I doubt it was even close..
The Hipsters got knocked out in the first round. As I mentioned in John’s post, it was an honor just to be invited to the big dance. John even created a PDF with the entire bracket, you get download it here if you would like.
We’ll be back next year I will tell you that. The Hipsters are no one hit wonder.

This is really funny. I still to post on our conversation from 2 weeks ago. My bad. I’ll do it ASAP.
Good job Cord. Just from glancing at the bracket, I see one of my favorite blogs, PSFK. I’m wondering what criteria this cat used considering PSFK is out of New York and its not really a markting blog, as much as a blog on marketing/culture. Jsut my 2 cents.
Next time, I will not hit “say it” until I have edited my comment.
PSFK was in the South bracket, although they are based in NY. Good post thogh!
Rob … there was nothing analytical or statistical about how I seeded my tournament bracket. Strictly off-the-cuff. I just dropped in marketing-related blogs I read and think are interesting. Feel free to one-up me and post your own Marketing Bloggers Bracketology by taking a more analytical approach.
Rob – I think this was more in fun than anything else. But I was hoping the Hipsters would be the cinderella team of 07!! LOL
John – Thanks for coming by and explaining. I thought it was a great idea and really enjoyed seeing the bracket.
John -
All good fun. It was a great idea and a fun concept! My apologies for splitting hairs…knuckleheadism is dominant iny my line.
I’d much rather see more things like this in the blogosphere than the Kathy Sierra saga unfolding now.
If you could have only been a 15 seed Cord you could have turned an upset. The number 16 just isn’t kind to teams.
Cord – you are definitely higher than a 16.
Jud – I know, I could of been a champion. I wanted to be carried off the court. Think of it, I could of been the Rudy for basketball.
Matt – stop it, you are going to make me blush and I hate that.
Thanks guys.
