Welcome from Twitter!

Hi! And thank you for taking the time to find out a little more about Spot On Public Relations. If you’re reading this via a mobile device you can also check out our mobile website at http://m.spotonpr.com/. You may be wondering who we are, what we’re doing on Twitter and whether you should follow us. So, here’s our Twitter Q&A with some more information for you.

What is Spot On Public Relations?

Spot On Public Relations is a Dubai-based communications, public relations and marketing agency which focuses on the Middle East and North Africa. We’re founder members of the Middle East Pubic Relations Association (MEPRA) and the Middle East network partner of Brodeur Partners. We’ve been working with Internet technologies for the past 15 years, which is why we now find an increasing amount of our work involves social media such as Twitter.

How can I find out more about Twitter in the Middle East?

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is short on online research and Spot On PR has launched a number of initiatives to provide marketing and communications professionals with more research data and insight on the region. Spot On conducted MENA’s first Twitter habits survey in 2009 and more recently has carried out a survey on MENA Twitter users perceptions of brands on Twitter. Here are the links:

Twitter & Customer Service Survey (March 2010)

MENA Twitter Demographics & User Habits Survey (Sept. 2009)

Okay, but who is @spotonpr?

Well, as with many companies, we started experimenting with Twitter (nearly two years ago now) and were looking for ways to make it practical. It turned out that we found everyone in the agency had interests on Twitter and things to say, but these weren’t exactly the same as what we needed for the company. So, @spotonpr is a company Twitter account. Most of the time these days it’s operated by Spot On’s managing director @CarringtonMalin. However, it is a Twitter account that we share and so anyone is liable to log-in and start tweeting!

Who do we follow?

Well, honestly, anyone and everyone that interests us, but we’ll try to narrow it down a bit! We are mainly interested in following PR, marketing and Internet professionals, journalists, bloggers and other people that share our interest in public relations, media, marketing, journalism, press freedom and social media.

What does @spotonpr tweet about?

In short, mostly PR news, social media news, media news and journalism news. Our business is quite focused on the Arab world and so are interests are skewed that way. We’re generally interested in what marketing and media people are doing around the Middle East and so are many of our followers, so we share news, information and tips.

Is Spot On PR on other social media?

Yes! We are active across many social media and are always on the lookout for new social media tools and platforms. You can find our main social media profile links on About.me.
