It's quite simple: You can't expect to sell the merits of your agency's social media expertise if your Twitter presence is underdeveloped or inactive. How are clients supposed to trust you with their social media accounts if you can't keep up with your own?

Your agency's Twitter shouldn't be a jumble of PR announcements and random links -- it should be a reflection of your agency's personality. It should highlight your work, promote your culture, and showcase your formidable social media chops for prospective clients.

While there isn't a single perfect formula for a successful Twitter presence, we've compiled a list of 11 agencies with remarkable Twitter accounts to inspire you to take your tweets to the next level.

11 Ad Agencies to Follow on Twitter

1) R/GA

Handle: @RGA

It was a real struggle to just pick a few tweets from R/GA's Twitter to highlight here, since their entire account is a treasure trove of clever industry insights, pop culture references, and general witticisms that will resonate with anyone working in a creative industry.

R/GA is the global ad agency behind major campaigns for Google, Samsung, and Nike. The man responsible for their delightfully offbeat Twitter presence is R/GA's managing director of copywriting, Chapin Clark.

2) McCann

Handle: @McCann_WW

You've probably seen this ad agency's work for big brands like Coca-Cola, Mastercard, and L'Oreal, but did you know they also have a spot-on Twitter presence?

McCann's Twitter offers a mix of behind-the-scenes snapshots, agency news, topical jokes, and unconventional news stories. It's no wonder the content is so funny: their tweets are managed by Bruce Stockler, a former joke writer for Jay Leno and current McCann director of content and social media.

Deutsch might have produced campaigns for Target, IKEA, and other sizable clients, but their Twitter bio is decidedly succinct: "Not Germany or a bank."

This account is worth a follow if you want timely industry updates, thought-provoking articles, and updates on Deutsch's high-profile accounts.
