How to Use Twitter for Political Advocacy
January 19, 2012
Everyone in politics seems to have a Twitter account today, but who is using it well? On this call, we dug in with Twitter's Adam Sharp, who is spearheading the company's growing Washington presence.
As Manager of Government and Political Partnerships for Twitter, Adam Sharp works with officials, agencies, and candidates to make better use of Twitter's real time information network for civic engagement. Called "the human embodiment of Twitter" by the New York Times, Sharp was named one of Washingtonian magazine's "People to Watch" in its 2011 "Tech Titans" listing. He previously led digital efforts at C-SPAN and NBC News and served as Deputy Chief of Staff to Senator Mary Landrieu (D-La.), working with her through Hurricane Katrina and her 2008 reelection campaign.
