Summary | Pepsi is using emojis to market their product because it is the "language of today" that transcends cultures and is intellegible for everyone. The new campaign also includes the two hasthags #PepsiMoji and #SayItWithPepsi to encourage consumers to post about their purchase on social media. Coca Cola recently had a similar campaign with first names on their bottles. They had been very successful with making consumers engage with the company through social media. Consumers basically did free marketing for them by posting pictures of Coke bottles with their names on their private accounts.

Summary | SIX's communication specialist has taken a university certificate course in social media management. It is very useful in highlighting the uses and risks of corporate social media use. Her job consists of creating original content on multiple social media profiles of her company. She has organized emoji battles and uploaded drone films of corporate events. One downside of the cetrificate course, she says, was that it never mentioned Snapchat or Instagram even though those are the most popular platforms among digital natives.

Summary | Emoticons (f.i. ":-D") and abbreviations (f.i. "LOL") have trickled down from "geek speak" and established themselves in the mainstream. Emojis are nowadays ever present in our digital communication as well as in other arenas such as film or advertising. Now various social media platforms, among them Facebook, offer users various palettes of stickers. They are larger versions of emojis and are sent as an image file rather than included on the keyboard as a letter. Because many sticker palettes need to be purchased, a whole economy is beginning to form: The Japanese messaging app Line has sold over $250 mio worth of stickers last year. We do not need to fear that emojis and co. will replace language as we know it.
