may 18, 2017 - Keith Broni becomes the world's first emoji translator
Description:
Hailing from Ireland, Keith Broni is enlisted by Today Translations and is the first person ever to hold an official job title of "Emoji Translator." His job is to help other companies navigate through the world of emojis by (obviously) translating them into something more understandable for bigger companies.Broni explains that learning how to encode emojis will be helpful for businesses especially since it adds an emotional undertone to ads and helps them to break the barrier of non-verbal cues that original text-only messages/ads carried (Graham, 2017).
