Ever get called out for tweeting too much?

Quite the opposite. We see Twitter as a great extra dimension to what we do as a company.

What question are we not asking here that we should?

Trick question given there are 12 questions left and I don't know what they are! 'Why did you join Twitter?' has not cropped up so far...

What inspires you to tweet?

Our clients' genuinely innovative activity, as well as the ability to create dialogue quickly and easily with our industry colleagues.

Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?

As a company, it's provided us with an audience we never had before. It's also made keeping in touch with our regular contacts much easier.

Automotive PR in response to Listorious

How do you make your tweets unique?

We like to give our own view on automotive news and events - as well as obviously tweeting about our own clients' news and activities!

Automotive PR in response to Listorious

What are six things you could never do without?

Coffee, cookies, email, our industry contacts, office air conditioning in the summer and office heating in the winter!
