Twitter @Ukraine
I was on a team of 3 to create and run the official accounts of Ukraine. A couple of times, Twitter @Ukraine (2+ million followers now) smashed up russian ones, and we had massive support from millions of people abroad. Hundreds of respected media wrote that Ukraine won the episode of the information war against Russian propaganda due to a series of tweets. Despite lacking resources, this case is an excellent example of how good communication skills can change the game.
