About
Now in its third year, the B2B Twitterer of the Year (B2BTOTY) Award recognizes B2B individuals and organizations for outstanding contributions in practicing, promoting, and/or enhancing business using Twitter.
This year we launched a new website. We’ve upped our game and developed a fully integrated Twitter application for better tracking, voting, and fun. We expect the third you to reach far and wide and look forward to seeing who will be this year’s B2BTOTY Award winners!
With a growing list of impressive B2B professionals on the judging panel, the awards will warrant much attention and produce great accounts of Twitter successes. We've included new categories to make the program more inclusive of the B2B ecosystem with:- Local/Regional B2B Company – Manufacturer
- Local/Regional B2B Company – Services
- National/International B2B Company – Manufacturer,
- National/International B2B Company – Services
- B2B Trade Association/Advocacy Group
- B2G/G2B Company/Organization
- "Boss Tweet" B2B Personality
- B2B Publications
- Business Journalists
- B2B Twitter Application
Unlike social media "popularity contests," the B2B Twitterer of the Year awards are awarded to qualified, nominated entities. The judging is performed by a panel of experienced B2B veterans, and the focus is on B2B only.
It's not about how many followers you have, or how many tweets you tweet. It's about creating a community, the value a B2B entity brings to it, and the integration of Twitter into the operation of your business and becoming a more social enterprise.
The B2B Twitterer of the Year Award is not associated with Twitter, Inc.

10 Reasons to Nominate a B2B Twitterer of the Year
- Twitter is the hottest thing since business blogging and sliced bread.
- If you nominate a boss or customer, they’ll never get mad at you again.
- Nominating is free. Do it now, before it gets taxed!
- We spent hours on the CGI scripting, so don’t make us think we did it in vain!
- The nominator of each category winner will receive a B2BTOTY coffee mug! (Really!)
- The little blue bird will leave a “calling card” on your windshield if you don’t.
- This isn’t the Nobel Prize, so there won’t be any debate whether someone “earned it.”
- B2B companies need more lovin’ than B2C companies.
- Our sponsors were promised billions upon billions of eyeballs, impressions and click-throughs.
- This isn’t a silly web popularity contest based on click-fraud votes, so you actually have a chance of winning.
