1. The Top 50 Digital Power Players
in #ukhousing
2014
2. During May , Paul Taylor and Shirley
Ayres asked people with an interest in
the housing sector to nominate people
they regarded as digital influencers.
As well as votes we took into
consideration influence measures
PeerIndex and Klout and also online
contributions through blogs and
campaigns.
This is a list celebrating the diversity of
people with an interest in housing who
are using social media to connect ,
inspire and challenge.
This represents the new world of

Nick Atkin has emerged as the most
influential CEO in the sector for the way
he has embraced innovation and
challenged the status quo.

list.

choice for his enthusiastic support for
the power of social to connect people
and communities.

as a leader in the development of

bolt on.

learning from the project.

You must have been on Mars if you
missed the @CommsHero
bombardment.
Asif and the guys at Resource have

Asif has shaken up the tired old world of
housing comms – and it’s unlikely to
ever be the same again.

Campaign
In a year when housing finally woke up
to the power of online campaigns the
runaway winner was Adrian Capon for
starting it all – with #HousingDay

HouseParty – a genuinely disruptive
event for Generation C.
