“Speaking Emoji” with Rachel Peters

Emojis are probably the most prolific pictorial language used today, but why? And what does it mean for conversation between businesses and customers? Is there a place for emojis in your dialogue with customers? In this talk, we’ll look at why we use emojis, some emoji history, and what we can learn from emojis about communication with others. I’ll share examples of emoji use from different brands and people, some with positive results and some exchanges that didn’t go so well.
