Questions and expectations for companies on Twitter

Easter Bunny Confidential: Unmasked!

Originally uploaded by IanMatthewSoper

When you follow a company on Twitter, who do you think you’re following? Do you visualize a person? And if so, is it an intern, a brand manager, a spokesperson…? Do they have the authority to speak on behalf of the brand?

Put it this way, if you were to invite the brand you’re following to a tweet up, who exactly is it that you want to attend? When I follow a brand I expect that they are paying attention—that what happens on Twitter matters—my feedback matters. What do you expect from the brands you follow? And who, specifically, do you think you’re following?

  1. If I follow a brand, I expect one or more people are minding the account. If I send a tweet, I expect an answer! Not eveytime – depending on what I say – but at least some acknowledgment I am there.
