Some more stereotypes: - Agency MD, highly experienced, commercially astute, lives in denial that social media is anything other that a technology thing or a passing fad - Account manager with split personality who is happy to use primitive and clumsy social media techniques to assist media relations but blasts colleagues for "wasting time" on Twitter.
