 followers expect from the social media takeover?  

Good vibrations; colorful designs combined with some product integration. Our activities during World Emoji Day are a potpourri of emotions to demonstrate the depth of the Emoji brand and to underscore its lively universal character. We aim to spread joy and happiness on that day and punctuate the unique potential and wide scope of application of the Emoji brand.

If you could create a new emoji, what would it be, and why? 

I want to create a hand-heart Emoji brand icon that stands for love and help worldwide. It is a gesture we all know and use. It expresses the deepest sympathy for one another and is a treasured but missing icon.
