Like all social networks, Twitter is capable of providing just about any kind of experience.

It all depends on how you curate it.
To that end, we rounded up some Twitter accounts that marketing professionals should consider following.
The list below isn’t exhaustive. There are plenty of worthwhile and popular accounts that aren’t featured. So think of it as a starting point, a way to discover inspiring personalities and interesting conversations.

The Picks — and Why You Should Follow Them
Amanda Natividad (@amandanat)

Web Smith (@web)

Jason Bradwell (@JasonRBradwell)
Jason Bradwell is someone to follow if you work on the marketing team of a B2B tech startup. He’s an always-on fountain of ideas, consistently tweeting actionable advice and sharp observations that help to elevate the conversation — and fun factor — around B2B marketing.
James Doman-Pipe (@JDomanPipe)
James Doman-Pipe is a must-follow for product marketers, especially those who work at B2B SaaS companies. He shares lots of on-target advice about positioning and messaging strategies, which makes sense, considering he recently won the Product Marketing Alliance’s 2021 Positioning and Messaging Maestro of the Year Award.
Nik Sharma (@mrsharma)
Known as “the DTC Guy,” Nik Sharma is present everywhere conversations about DTC marketing take place. At least, that’s what it feels like. And for good reason: Sharma has helped launch several DTC brands (including Judy and Poo-Pourri), and on Twitter he drops knowledge he’s gained in the process (plus plenty of super-tactical growth hacks).
Christina Garnett (@ThatChristinaG)
Christina Garnett is a senior marketing manager at marketing-and-sales-software maker Hubspot, where she focuses on community and advocacy. She is featured in HubSpot Academy’s social media and social listening certification courses and recently launched the company’s HubFans advocacy program. She’s especially worth following if you think marketing’s future involves community-led growth.

But she’s not an ivory-tower academic removed from the trenches of the industry — she’s also the chief marketing officer at tech startup Fit Body App. She’ll keep you up to date on the major marketing and brand stories occurring each week.
Derek Walker (@dereklwalker)
Derek Walker is a copywriter and creative who runs his own advertising agency called Brown & Browner. He tweets about brands, the creative process and the advertising industry (warts and all). He’s also not a big fan of industry buzzwords.
Kushaan Shah (@Kushaanshah)
A growth marketer at virtual healthcare company Teladoc, where he does retention and engagement marketing, Kushaan Shah tweets about marketing and startups. He also publishes a newsletter called Marketing Mind Meld, which is all about how marketing and human behavior collide.
Augustine Fou (@acfou)
You’d be hard-pressed to find someone on Twitter who can keep as close of tabs on ad fraud, ad waste and cybersecurity as Augustine Fou. He’s an independent ad fraud researcher who works with brands on creating integrated marketing campaigns. Fou also taught digital marketing at the university level and is a frequent contributor to Forbes.
Chase Dimond (@ecomchasedimond)
A self-proclaimed email marketing nerd, Chase Dimond is a partner at Boundless Labs, a venture-backed e-commerce email marketing agency. His tweets are full of email marketing tips and are worth checking out if your job has anything to do at all with reaching and engaging customers in their inboxes — even if it’s not directly related to e-commerce.
