MY FAVOURITE BRANDS ON TWITTER

25 Favourite Brands On Twitter

MY FAVOURITE BRANDS ON TWITTER

While working with Laura Waage during one of our recent sessions she gave me homework:

Name My Top 25 Brands On Twitter!!

Before we jump ahead to delving deeper into this picture, I wanted to share a little recap post that clearly outlines where things were back then in terms of my top 25 brands.

Why? Because we’re talking about social media here:

Things change at a rapid pace. As I mentioned to Laura during our chat, I get a real buzz when some of my favourite brands follow me back.

You’ll read more later but the likes of Whole Food Market, Subway, Pepsi, IBM, Virgin America have all follow me back. Oh, and did I forget to mention Foo Fighters & Britney Spears (I am a fanatic about music stuff)

Why do I get a real buzz when these brands follow me back? Not only because they’re doing some amazing things as far as Twitter goes, but also because whoever is driving these pages really understands that “Twitter Is The The Buzz Builder”.

I am “The Twitter Dude” afterall so of course that gives me a buzz!    

There are a lot of brands doing great things with Twitter and using it as a way to have fun with their followers and ultimately, drive their product and service. So when Laura asked me to knuckle down these were the brands that made my list:

As I mentioned, this post is largely a recap of ‘where things were’ back when Laura gave me this assignment.

As she says in the podcast (have a listen below), if you’re a small business, it can be hard to create a big event.

But what’s stopping you from tapping into what others are doing and putting your own spin on it all?

Remember, great content attracts eyeballs and that’ll lead you on the right path to being able to monetize your feed in the longer term.
