UK PR Agency Heads on Twitter

*Please note this list is currently based on PRWeek’s Top 100 PR consultancies (2010) however I may look to expand this in the future.

I've been engaging with the PR community on Twitter for some time now and haven't noticed a huge amount of activity from senior level PR people.

I was curious as to whether this was due to me not following enough of them - or whether it was because not many agency heads are using the social network site to communicate with their audience and peers.

So I started to sift through PRWeek's top 100 agencies in search of PR bosses - and what started as bit of research resulted in a list of UK PR Agency Heads on Twitter.

I have no doubt overlooked people who should be on the list, so let me know if you think someone should be on there.

I will be keeping an eye on the list (which you can follow here) to see if it provides valuable insight. You may or may not find it useful...
