Things to remember:• Whatever you do online needs to be
consistent with what you already use in the ‘real world’
• Use the same avatar on both Twitter and Facebook – adapt your logo if necessary
• Keep backgrounds the same or very similar for instant recognition
• Twitter – use themes to change colours to be consistent with your brand
