Hi Sarah! Thanks for the clarification… Obviously The Brand Chef needs to read a little better…BR/BR/It Iis/I BTHE/B Home Depot…BR/BR/Anyway — GREAT response and use of SM. As you can see from the above survey, the general consensus is that SM is a Great extension of the brand — and you just proved it. BR/BR/Thanks for stopping by the kitchen. Hope to see you in the mix I(and thanks for the great deal on my garage door opener… a bear to install, but smooth as butter!)/IBR/BR/Keep Cooking — the great conversations!BR/Andrew B.

@nickjayres — it’s never too late, and Bwelcome to the kitchen!/B BR/BR/I appreciate the input from a corporate point of view. @homedepot has a great Twitter following and to know that “the company” has people on staff that are taking part in the conversation gives me I(an even)/I better feeling toward Home Depot. I’ve heard stories of companies chastizing employees for engaging with customers through SM, and it really makes one wonder IB”what is there to hide”/B/I even if there isn’t anything…BR/BR/Thanks again for the input. Hope to see you ’round the table more often!BR/BR/Keep Cooking — Great engagement!BR/Andrew B. ClarkBR/The Brand Chef

I know I’m late to this post but I wanted to let you know that for the record, the people who monitor/post Twitter on the @TheHomeDepot profile are actual employees. Most of the tweets come from Sarah M who works in corporate communications, and I cover the account from time to time as well (I work for homedepot.com.) I can’t speak for all brands by any stretch, but that’s how it works at The Home Depot.BR/BR/Just thought you might like to know…BR/BR/All the best,BR/BR/NickBR/BR/PS. I’m on Twitter @nickjayres
