communication/presences. Because of low or non-existent
media budgets, social media is the way to get the word out
about their cause.
PR News reported that CEO sociability may have a positive
impact on the company’s reputation. On the contrary, there
are many cases where people have been fired because of a
tweet.

17. The Importance of Emojis
Emojis are used to express a feeling, reaction or as part of a branding
campaign. Emojis help people bring some emotion and sense of
personality that can’t be felt with just words in simple texts.
Origins: Japan, a few decades ago by Shigetaka Kurita
Emojis have been used for campaigns such as Coca-Cola, Star Wars and
events like the grammys and the American Music Awards.
Although emojis are used often and are helpful in everyday texts or
messages, it is smart to limit emoji usage in emails and professional
messages.
