I’ve found over 150 Irish on Twitter who are in PR – many for companies in the list. Many are on Twitter in their own name and some seem to be testing the waters in a low profile manner at the moment. You’ll find them If you work backwards from the start of the “following” group in @IEPressReleases (currently from page 16 -> page 7, although these no.s will change).

Similar sentiments to Piaras. We have company Twitter and Facebook accounts but most activity takes place on personal accounts including LinkedIn. Good reminder on more to do!!

Interesting and helpful prompt – good work. I’d be of similar mind to Piaras on a company Twitter – pretty much everybody has a Twitter account but some are a lot less active than others so we’d have to keep everything under review. Our website has just been changed and the intention is to ‘work it up’ into something more active and engaging as resources allow. Again, I think this is very helpful – although there are a few names missed out I think. Thanks. Padraig

Damien – FYI, we – MKC Communications – do have a company Twitter account. We’re at @MKCComm. Other elements of our site to be upgraded in the near future. Will update accordingly. Best…C

Thank you for the mention Damien. We did consider publishing client press releases on our site but held off for two main reasons. Firstly, there is a school of thought that duplicate content online is penalised by search engines. We distribute our releases online and the digital footprint of them can be quite repetitive. Whilst this is fine for distributed SEO optimised releases it may not serve our website’s trust rating.

Insight Consultants is developing its website at the moment and we are moving gradually towards a more experiential website and away from a 2-D brochure style site. Will let you know when it’s finished. R

Edelman website in development at the moment, hopefully will be launched in the next week or two, will send on the link for the update then. Good few of us with twitter accounts, don’t see the need for a company twitter account as a result. The site will have RSS and additional content.
