7 Branding and PR Experts to Follow on Twitter

Management of your brand online (be it a personal, or a corporate brand) is arguably one of the most important things you should care about.

There are a number of experts that regularly blog and write articles on the subject and are also active on Twitter (sharing their own thoughts and tweeting what others write/say on the subject).

If you’re serious about improving your branding and PR skills, especially when it comes to doing it via Social Media and the Internet in general, this Friday I recommend that you start following the 7 Twitter accounts I’m listing below:
