Top 10 Talking Logistics Videos and Posts in 2015

As 2015 comes to an end, a quick thank you to all of our readers, followers, and sponsors for another great year of learning and conversation on Talking Logistics. The numbers speak for themselves:

34 episodes produced in 2015, totaling more than 56,800 views and 1,360+ minutes of conversations with thought leaders and newsmakers in the supply chain and logistics industry.

204 posts published on a wide range of timely and important industry topics, including the most comprehensive weekly news roundup in the industry and thought-provoking and insightful guest commentaries from our sponsors.

More than 48,900 followers on LinkedIn and Twitter combined (a 176 percent increase from last year), including 1,540+ CXOs, 1,600+ VPs, and 2,280+ Directors across many vertical industries and geographies.

A 73 percent increase in pageviews and a 70 percent increase in visitors compared to last year.

But it’s the positive feedback we receive regularly from supply chain and logistics professionals like you that means the most to us. For example, here are excerpts from two emails we received recently:

I live in Brazil and I am a logistics enthusiast and work in the field. Talking Logistics is one of the few regular [email] subscriptions I kept after unsubscribing from a couple dozens of them, which filled my inbox everyday. I’m a fan, not only of the logistics related subjects you post, but of the introductory texts you often write. – Pedro B.

We have not met, I just wanted to drop you a note telling you thank you for your work and content that you continue to produce. As someone working in this industry the past 8 years, having read your posts and quotes in various [places] has helped to bring me more up to speed than any other resource out there. I know the work of producing such high quality work takes much time and effort, and just wanted you to know it is appreciated. All the best, and please keep up the great work. – Ben W.

On days when I wake up not knowing what to write about, or I’m suffering from a severe case of writer’s block, it’s comments like these that fill me with energy and purpose.

In case you missed them the first time around or want to watch/read them again, below are the most popular Talking Logistics video episodes and posts we aired/published this year. I encourage you to share this list with your colleagues, as well students, young professionals, and others who might be interested in joining our growing community. They can sign up for our email and follow us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube to stay informed about upcoming episodes and to read our blog posts on industry trends and news.

Again, thank you for making this another fun and rewarding year on Talking Logistics. Happy Holidays and I wish you all continued health, happiness, and success in 2016.
