    I might be biased…okay, I am biased… but I would add Christi Olson @ChristiJOlson to your list. She’s been an awesome addition to our Point It paid search team, and I’m learning so much from her about processes and scaling ppc. And she’s really fun too. 🙂

    1. Ruud Hein says:
      January 12, 2015 at 9:04 am

      Well that’s a good recommendation, Lisa! I agree, her emphasis on efficiency through processes makes her a good addition to this list.

  2. Lisa Raehsler says:

    Robert, thanks for including me! I love the thoughtful descriptions for each person. Thanks again!

  3. Paul Kragthorpe says:
    January 12, 2015 at 11:54 am

    Thanks for including me on the list, Robert! I would have included James Svoboda (@Realicity) over myself personally. If you want to know when the PPCChat streamcaps are ready, yeah I’m one to follow 😉

    1. Ruud Hein says:
      January 12, 2015 at 12:55 pm

      @Paul – included at your recommendation

  4. Lisa Sanner says:
    January 12, 2015 at 2:20 pm

    Another one to add is Bryant Garvin @BryantGarvin. He is afterall THEE #PPCDictator

    Great additions to the list everyone! Keep ’em coming.

    I would suggest also @adwexp, which is the account of one of the largest events about AdWords in Europe, regularly reporting the most important updates in the platform and useful insights posts about AdWords written all over the world.
    It is not a single person managed account, but there are several Adwords professional writing for it (among which me myself).
    I would add @ppchero too. Same category 😉
    Ciaoo.

    Wow this is very valuable, it took me quite a while to learn PPC and it was a tough road. I could def learn some additional tips from these successful marketers, thanks for sharing the list 🙂

    I recommend following Jon Kagan, his Twitter feed is @JonKagan. He is a mix of humerous, irrational, and if you hear him speak at conference or read his articles, he is a mad data scientist in search

      Added, William!
