These nodes could be influential persons as well as influentialbrands which intend to communicate and interact with their consumerspromoting messages consistent with their brand personalities.The ultimate aim of influential brands is to increase brand awarenessand brand engagement among their followers .However the conception of Twitter as a tool to promote brand engagementis far from being mature, both in management practices andacademic research, and it is not clear how to best take advantage of thisnew marketing and communication channel.In light of what we have shown up to this point, in this paper weintend to develop a preliminary analysis of dialogic, interactive and relationalconditions that turn a brand into an engaging and influential actoron Twitter.
