Twitter features every leader should use

Whether it’s driving conversations around your brand, connecting with other industry leads, or building connections with your fans, Twitter presents a unique way for leaders to connect with the people that matter most.

 

Leaders like Disney’s Asad Ayaz, Microsoft's Satya Nadella, and HuffPost founder Arianna Huffington are using Twitter to humanize the brands they represent, connect with customers, and connect with colleagues and employees. Leaders are also sharing their thoughts about company updates, guiding brand messaging, and shaping their reputation, not to mention driving company culture and taking a stand on and promoting causes and ideals. 

 

There are a variety of different Twitter tools and features you can use to start impactful conversations and grow your audience. Here’s a short product guide to help leaders looking to unlock their social superpower through Twitter.

Topics

Topics provide a great way for leaders to stay in the know about the things that matter most for your business. 

 

Whether you're an editor in the fashion industry or a commercial lead in the film business, subscribing to Topics gives you access to Tweets about your area of interest within your Home timeline.

Conversation settings

This new feature gives people the power to control who can engage with and respond to their Tweets. If you’re looking to keep conversations to only your followers, or perhaps host a conversation with a valid partner, Twitter’s conversation settings give you the power to do just this.
