Tweeps
Quietroom
@quietroomtweets
These people are writers and strategists from Clerkenwell, where many cool creative Londoners do business. They communicate well for a living. They post top tips to improve your writing and interesting stories about how words make an impact, with a touch of humour along the way. You may know them as authors of the legendary Santa Brand Book which still makes us laugh every Christmas.

Digital
Kati Price
@katiprice
Kati is Head of Digital at the brilliant Victoria and Albert Museum in London. She posts about museums, design, all things digital and sometimes bees. She is also a very nice and supremely clever person that some of us used to work with at the Design Council. Anyone who posts about how to avoid putting lipstick on a digital pig is worth a read we think.
How research can help you avoid putting lipstick on a digital pig, by identifying those piglets early on… https://t.co/F0KUm4XKbE

EQ
Dr Travis Bradberry
@talentsmarteq
Dr Travis runs TalentSmart which provides emotional intelligence tests and training. Many people post inspirational quotes and tips on how to self-improve. He does this too, but his posts are better than most. Who can resist clicking on an article called ‘8 things that make smart people look bad’? And then finding there’s actually something worth reading.
