Punch Communications Enjoys Benefits of Social Media
Free social messaging site Twitter is no longer used only by social media aficionados
Leicestershire, UK (ePressReleases.org) April 6, 2009 - Free social messaging site Twitter is no longer used only by social media aficionados, after celebrity endorsements from well known personalities such as Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry have brought it to the attention of the British public - it seems that everyone is answering the question “what are you doing now?”

Twitter’s popularity has gone into overdrive; even this year’s April Fools jokes included Twitter references, with the Guardian joking that after 188 years of ink, the printed paper would cease to exist in favour of updates using the brevity of 140 characters only.

PR Agency Punch Communications was amongst the first to recognise Twitter’s useful nature and the Punch team quickly became Twitter addicts, enthusiastically following the many updates of journalists and friends and using twitter to publicise and spread clients’ news through tweets, re-tweets and direct messages.

Managing Director of the PR Company Pete Goold commented: - “As an agency, we believe that effective Technology PR is more than knowing how to secure online coverage. It is important for public relations consultants to ensure they are as clued up as possible and have a firm understanding of latest digital trends and recognize how different mediums of social interaction work, both on a professional and also, to a certain extent, a personal level. Public Relations is a fast passed industry and it is imperative that PR professionals are familiar with the benefits of the latest media developments.”
