The Best PR and Marketing Newsletters
We’ll start with some of the more industry-specific, niche newsletters before expanding to a few with a broader scope.
Spin Sucks
Spin Sucks is a marketing consulting company with community groups and a pretty popular newsletter among a niche audience.
The newsletter provides a variety of tools, resources, examples and test cases, approaching marketing challenges through the lens of its patented ‘PESO model.’ This acronym stands for media that is Paid, Earned, Shared or Owned.
True to its name, Spin Sucks, places a strong emphasis on avoiding misleading or dishonest advertising. Instead, it focuses on amplifying authentic value in products, services and consumer experiences.
If you want to build brand awareness, enhance SEO, improve public relations and use content marketing to generate leads, the Spin Sucks newsletter has all sorts of tips and tricks to learn how to do so.

Morning Consult
Morning Consult is a highly regarded, professional newsletter that provides insights across various industries.
What sets Morning Consult apart is its focus on data-driven insights, which power its marketing consulting business. In an industry where Big Data is becoming increasingly essential, this approach makes it a key player.
One of the major advantages of data-driven strategies is that they help marketers understand industry trends while avoiding one-size-fits-all solutions.
The weekly Morning Consult newsletter focuses on consumer insights. It is also an excellent reminder of and gateway to Morning Consult’s website, which has many more regularly updated marketing and PR blog posts, many of which are free.

HubSpot
As one of the leading SaaS content marketing platforms, HubSpot has learned a great deal from its customers’ daily marketing challenges.
Its content production arm covers nearly every aspect of marketing. While much of its content aligns with its software offerings, many insights also apply more broadly to other platforms. Successful marketing often depends less on which platform you choose and more on how effectively you implement it across your organization. Alignment, process simplification, and training are key factors.
HubSpot offers several newsletters tailored to different needs:
- The Hubspot Marketing Blog Newsletter
- The Hubspot Sales Blog Newsletter
- The Hubspot Community Newsletter
Most of these newsletters provide links to long-form content, making them valuable resources for marketers who want to stay ahead.

Morning Brew
Morning Brew is another popular newsletter, although its scope is far broader than PR and marketing. It focuses on global news in many different categories, so readers can get a summary or cross-section of what’s going on without having to peruse a dozen different news sites.
Morning Brew’s got a little bit of everything, including:
- Business and Finance
- Tech and Innovation
- Pop Culture and Lifestyle
- Puzzles and Quizzes
It’s basically an ‘overview’ sort of newsletter. While it doesn’t hone in on a lot of niche challenges that marketers face, we’d argue that it’s still important for marketers to have a broad understanding of what’s going on in the world on a daily basis. Morning Brew makes it easy to stay informed.
