This morning Financial Brand announced the winners of their 2012 Best Banking Blog Awards. With more than 1,000 votes cast and a number of write-ins (including our blog) it is evident that there are a number of great blogging resources out there for the online community to digest! If you haven’t seen the announcement yet on the Financial Brand site, here’s a recap of the top 10 blogs and how you can follow their contributors on social media:
1. JD Power & Associates Banking Blog – @JDPowerBanking
2. Snarketing 2.0 – Ron Shevlin (Senior Analyst at Aite Group) @rshevlin
3. ACTON’s Financial Marketing Insights – @ACTON_Marketing

The Perficient Financial Services team would like to congratulate all of the winners. Managing a successful blog takes a lot of strategic thinking, creative writing and dedication! The financial services community has a number of great leaders. Many of those leaders have welcomed the Perficient brand into the space, shared our technology insights, and have helped demonstrate the important correlations between technology issues, marketing and overall banking strategies. For that we are very thankful. We would like to recognize Financial Brand for supporting the industry with this achievement. Without the daily stream of information these bloggers produce – banking and financial services professionals would have far fewer resources to rely on for valuable marketing, industry and technology insight to improve banking operations.
