US marketing execs were most likely to say their companies created Twitter content on the same day. More than one-fifth of respondents cited this frequency. However, the second most common prep time fell on the other end of the spectrum: 16% planned Twitter content a month or more in advance.

And interestingly, the percentage of those who planned their tweets just one day ahead dropped to 7%—the smallest group.
