#6 One of the best brands on Twitter (w/ John Thornton)

#6 One of the best brands on Twitter (w/ John Thornton)

The @innocent account on Twitter is one of the top 10 social media brands in the world, but who is the person who writes those magic Tweets for them? His name is John Thornton and we ask him some serious and not-so-serious questions about himself as a copywriter and all about Innocent Smoothies. John also gives us a taste of the ingredients needed for that special-smoothie-sauce, for making such a social media account as successful as theirs.
