I work for  the Tuscan region&#8217;s social media team. I attend art events and exhibits,  write about art in <\/em><em>Tuscany<\/em><em>, and promote it on a blog  and via social media. In our office, Facebook is not blocked, but  mandatory. We don&#8217;t have phones; we use Skype. And we tweet during work  hours, preferably as frequently as possible.\u00a0 Although our role in <\/em><em>Tuscany<\/em><em>&#8216;s  new tourism campaign is fairly well known in the communications  industry thanks to our participation in half a dozen lectures and  conferences in the past few months, the general public has not heard  much about it yet.
