Marketing Operations isn’t for the faint of heart. One day, you’re fixing a Marketo-Salesforce sync issue; the next, you’re explaining (again) why attribution isn’t just “this lead came from LinkedIn.” It’s a constant balancing act between strategy, technology, data, and cross-functional collaboration.

To stay ahead, you need resources that actually provide value—ones that go beyond generic best practices and give you actionable insights. Here are some of my go-to sources for keeping up with Marketing Ops and RevOps trends, challenges, and solutions.
