7. What s everyone saying?
“By differentiating brands’ pages
from those of users and by
offering more options for content,
Twitter is no longer just a place
to have conversations and
handle customer service
queries; it’s becoming a media
platform in its own right.”
Make no mistake about it then as Marketingweek
soon as the new branded Twitter
pages are available to ALL brands
and marketers, they key will be -
as it is in EVERY social media
platform, to create compelling
and engaging content.

8. What s everyone saying?
“ The question for each one of
these marketers is what is the
interesting, compelling,
provocative content that they
can be putting out to a larger
audience to keep that
engagement high."
Adam Bain, Chief Revenue Officer of
“Twitter is planning to be Twitter
huge. Both in terms of worldly
significance and company size.
That’s why it’s making a product
that anyone and everyone can
use.”
Dan Frommer, Splatf.com

9. What do we say?
• These 2 steps that Twitter has taken suggests it
wants to become more mainstream: the aim of the new
features is to encourage wider use, whilst the
implementation of distinct pages for brands will draw
attention to the space as fundamental, such as
Facebook and Google+ already have.
• Twitter was once a key space for brands to listen and
respond to customers. Now, however, the focus has
broadened and Twitter has recognised the
importance of making this easier for brands.
• Brands will have to step up and the creation of an
engaging content strategy for Twitter is highly important
to engage with this potential new audience.
