Join the growing number of The Ad Agency followers on Twitter! Network with international advertising and marketing agencies, designers, business leaders, and entrepreneurs around the globe. The Ad Agency also tweets Special Offers, so log in regularly to catch the promotions while they last.

We often get asked here at The Ad Agency by curious SME's how Twitter can help market their product or offering. Twitter is a value-add and relationship enhancer to compliment an existing online direct marketing and advertising strategy.

Use the networking medium to promote special offers, alert customers that new season stock has arrived, that you're now open on Sunday, etc. Posting relevant advertising material of interest to your customer base (not spamming) will keep your brand top of mind – it can be a long time between haircuts, or car services, so keep your customers informed by using this free service!

If your website has a blog, post the blog link in your tweet in order to drive new visitors to your website and gain further exposure.

Twitter should be used in conjunction with other forms of online initiatives including your existing website, blogs, and customer email blasts. A holistic approach to online direct marketing will "touch" more customers and lead to better brand recognition and an improved customer database.

Twisted Musings is a daily panel style cartoon website which The Ad Agency would like to spruik, for several reasons.

1. Twisted Musings gives a good daily dose of laughs.

2. The cartoonist is a talented friend of The Ad Agency, and we're all about networking.

3. Twisted Musings is a textbook example of how to utilise Twitter to promote your product offering daily.

Follow Twisted Musings on Twitter, visit the website, buy some merch, and support talented Aus 'tooners.

The Ad Agency's office away from office is C Word located in Nundah, Brisbane - the best damn bagels outside of New York. Why meet in a board room when there are bagels and coffee to be had?! If your office is on the North side of Brisbane, then The Ad Agency will be heavily persuading you to meet in this central location. The Ad Agency should point out that we have no affiliation whatsoever with C Word. We just like their food and like to support local Nundah business.

Here's a great resource for Brisbane businesses who need free images or video for print and online.
