Top 100 Public Relations Accounts on Twitter

Who are the top 100 Twitter users in the PR industry? Well, we found them for you, using a number of applications like Twitaholic, Twittercounter and WeFollow. The top is based on the number of users following back these PR experts (or PR companies/ publications), and not on their professional skills.

It took us a few days to put this together – all listings were added manually. As such, it is possible that some are no longer accurate (the number of followers might be higher, changing the listing in the top). Also, if we missed anyone, it is because of the way people tag and describe their profiles, and by no means because we didn’t want to include a certain professional. Please help improve this list if you can, by providing us the name and the link to the Twitter profile of the PR professional/ company that we omitted.
