FW: [Ext] RE: UASG White Paper: EOW Report
by Don Hollander April 18, 2017

April 18, 2017

FYI: Here’s the summary of the media coverage of the launch of the UASG White Paper. In case you haven’t seen it, The Whitepaper, blogpost and media release can be found https://uasg.tech/whitepaper/ Please feel free to share this through your own local media office (you might want to append an introduction showing your relationship to the project) and on social media. Don UASG White Paper Announcement: End of Week Report 14 April 2017 Summary As we close out launch week, we’ve seen 27 pieces of coverage globally (Australia, India, Italy, Jordan, Nigeria, Russia, UAE, UK and US), including a piece that was just published today in Bloomberg BNA[bna.com], a top business publication in the U.S, as well as a hit in Gadgets Now[gadgetsnow.com], the technology destination of The Times of India. (If you would like to listen to Ram’s interview with the reporter Kim Aora, you can do so by clicking here[dropbox.com].) We expect additional coverage to be forthcoming over the next several days and weeks. We’re continuing to work with the reporter from MIT Technology Review, who expressed interest in writing. A recent Q&A interview with CNews Russia and ICANN’s Michael Yakushev, VP Stakeholder Engagement for Eastern Europe and Central Asia should also be published in the near future. Additionally, we are continuing to follow up with WSJ CIO Journal as a warm lead, as well as other target publications. The white paper provides a solid proof point with which the teams can continue to have ongoing conversations with press. Finally, the press release was picked up 127 times, reaching an estimated audience of nearly 7.3 million (full Marketwired report attached for reference).

Branded stickers are the new branded emoji keyboards - Digiday
by Don Hollander April 17, 2017

April 17, 2017

Further to recent discussions on emojis… > > http://digiday.com/marketing/branded-stickers-new-branded-emoji-keyboards/ <http://digiday.com/marketing/branded-stickers-new-branded-emoji-keyboards/> > > Branded stickers are the new branded emoji keyboards > Sponsored by LiveIntent <http://digiday.com/author/liveintent/>April 14, 2017 > Prepare yourself: Brands may have reached peak emoji <http://digiday.com/marketing/brands-may-time-move-past-emojis/>, but they’re just about getting started on stickers. > > FOMO-infected marketers see audiences ballooning on messaging apps like WhatsApp, WeChat, Line and others. The initial focus on infiltrating these communication channels fell to emoji keyboards, which naturally became ubiquitous. Now, brands including Disney, Starbucks, Sephora and Garfield — as well as their budgets — are moving onto branded stickers. > > But emoji keyboards were never anything more than another dubious marketing tactic, making for a good press release and adding to brands’ “hip” credentials, but not much more. At least 250 brands created their own emoji keyboards in 2015 and trumpeted their releases — but never actually disclosed how many downloads the emoji keyboards got, how many people actively used them or whether they drove any ROI. > > Branded stickers are not only more customizable but also far more accessible. Users had to download branded emoji keyboards outside of other apps, which in itself was a big barrier. Branded stickers, on the other hand, are often found within messaging apps themselves. Apple’s iMessage, for example, has an app store within the app with thousands of sticker packs, no need to go to the actual Apple app store. > > “Branded stickers are the new branded emoji keyboards,” said Robert Ferrari, CEO at Bare Tree Media, a company that has created stickers for brands including the New England Patriots and Garfield. “The experience is more frictionless, and they are not just a marketing but also a revenue opportunity for brands.” > > Evan Wray, co-founder at Swyft Media, a messaging technology company that makes branded stickers and emojis for brands across different messaging apps, agreed. He said that brands were going beyond emoji keyboards <http://digiday.com/marketing/useless-artifacts-brands-keep-making-emoji-key…>, which were “just the first step in the education process of brands” to get acquainted with the world of messaging apps. > > > A Burger King sticker > “In general, there’s a lot more brand activity in messaging today,” he said. “But the conversation has definitely shifted from ‘what is messaging?’ to ‘let’s do emoji keyboards,’ to ‘let’s now deploy an overarching strategy.’” > > The number of consumers using mobile messaging apps could reach 2 billion by 2018, according to eMarketer. Stickers are particularly popular, with some 6 billion stickers being sent around the world every day on mobile messaging apps, according to Swyft Media. Plus, everyone from Facebook to Twitter and even Apple, is turning its attention to stickers. > > <http://digiday.com/event/digiday-video-anywhere-summit-2017-may-new-orleans/> > What’s more, stickers are also lucrative, presenting both brands and messaging apps an opportunity to generate new revenue streams through sticker sales. Line, for instance, generates over $270 million a year just through in-app sticker sales. On the iMessage app store, brands typically put up a mix of both free and paid sticker packs, which are priced anywhere between $0.99 and $1.99. The New England Patriots, for instance, have general packs as well as special paid packs like the “Champs” pack, which the brand introduced after its team’s Super Bowl win this year. > > Brands are flocking to stickers because they are also far more personalized than branded emojis, allowing them to showcase their brands far better. For instance, if KFC were creating a branded emoji keyboard featuring the Colonel, he would most likely be an animated caricature. Now, it can use the face of the actor that plays him and make it into a sticker. > > > A Garfield sticker on iMessage > Stickers also make for a far more frictionless experience as compared to emoji keyboards. Emoji keyboards did not prioritize the user experience, according to Wray, because they were often cumbersome to find and then download. On the other hand, stickers are often found within messaging apps directly, and users can obtain or purchase them without any additional steps or downloads. Engagement with branded sticker packs and app sticker add-ons are encouraging too, with users spending an average of 3.5 minutes per session with them, according to Bare Tree Media. > > “Stickers are far more streamlined than having the user go and install an app and get keyboards,” said Jana Gauthier, director of digital media for the New England Patriots, which has dabbled in both emoji keyboards as well as stickers for its own app as well as on iMessage. “It’s not always the best idea to force consumers to go to your owned and operated platforms; it helps more to be where they are.” > > As far as platforms go, stickers have been widely used in Asian markets on platforms like WeChat and Line for years. But in the U.S., Apple’s iMessage is a clear winner, with 50 percent of branded stickers being shared through iMessage, according to Bare Tree Media (20 percent are being shared through Facebook Messenger and 10 percent through Snapchat.) Apple launched a dedicated app store for its messaging app iMessage, with virtual stickers and other animations, back in September. Since then, brands from Disney <http://digiday.com/marketing/burger-king-betty-boop-others-make-branded-sti…> and the New England Patriots to Starbucks and Garfield have launched branded stickers on Apple iMessage. According to both the Patriots and Garfield, their stickers are most popular on the iPhone over any other device and iMessage dominates the adoption and usage. > > “Seventy percent of our users are on iMessage on the iPhone,” said Madelyn Ferris, vp of digital marketing at Paws, Inc., Garfield’s parent company. “These users have shared 50 million stickers so far.” > > One concern for brands marketing in messaging apps — be it through emojis or stickers — has been measurement. But that has become a priority for many messaging tech companies they partner with, from Emogi to Swyft. Emogi, for example, began partnering with analytics company Moat <http://digiday.com/marketing/third-party-measurement-comes-branded-emojis-s…> in January, to bring brand-focused metrics and measurement to mobile messaging apps like Kik and others. Swyft Media too has several third-party measurement partnerships in place. > > “Stickers help drive both brand awareness and revenue,” said Bare Tree’s Ferrari. “And the conversion is significantly higher than keyboards. These partnerships help us show that.” > Don Hollander Universal Acceptance Steering Group Skype: don_hollander

Quick Guide to Linkification Review
by Don Hollander April 13, 2017

April 13, 2017

We have a process to regularly review our documentation after they’ve been ‘in the wild’ from time to time. Our Quick to Linkification (UASG010 - attached for your reference) was last reviewed in May 2016. I would like to convene a call to go through it again. Where participants are will determine what time of day we’ll have the call (we usually choose 23:00 UTC - but that’s not pleasant for India or Europe) and whether we’ll have more than one call. If you are interested, would you please let me know off-list? I’ll organise a time this month accordingly. Don Don Hollander Universal Acceptance Steering Group Skype: don_hollander

69 New Emoji Have Been Approved By Unicode - Just in case you thought this Emoji stuff was a flash in the pan 🍳💥
by Don Hollander April 10, 2017

April 10, 2017

> https://www.forbes.com/sites <https://www.forbes.com/sites> > > 69 New Emoji Have Been Approved By Unicode > Mar 30, 2017 @ 10:31 PM > > Emojipedia > > Emoji 5.0 / Photo Credit: Emojipedia <http://emojipedia.org/> > Emojipedia founder and Chief Emoji Officer Jeremy Burge has announced <http://blog.emojipedia.org/final-2017-emoji-list/> that the Unicode Consortium has approved 69 emoji as part of the Emoji 5.0 update for 2017. The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit that develops software internationalization standards and data. Emoji 5.0 includes new smileys, foods, drinks, flags and people. And the Emoji 5.0 update will include new fantasy characters for the first time like mermaids (and mermen), zombies, elves, genies and vampires. > > The Emoji 5.0 update is slated to release in June 2017 and it actually contains 239 emoji in total when gender and skin tone recommendations are included. After the Unicode Consortium encodes the new emoji, vendors like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter decide when to implement the changes. Google and Apple will likely implement the new emoji between October and December 2017. But the companies may potentially modify the emoji based on their preferences. For example, Apple replaced the gun emoji with a water gun in a previous emoji update. These 69 emoji will be joining approximately 2,000 other emoji that are already available. Here is a video that Emojipedia released introducing the new emoji: > > > There are a number of noteworthy additions in the Emoji 5.0 update. The update includes gender-inclusive versions of children, adults and older adults. Additions to the “faces” category include a star-struck face, a face with a raised eyebrow (inspired by Stephen Colbert), an exploding head, a face with symbols over the mouth (swearing), a shushing face, a face with a hand over the mouth and a face with a monocle. New emoji in the “animals” category include a zebra, a giraffe, a hedgehog, a sauropod, a T-Rex and a cricket. Emoji 5.0 includes the flags of England, Scotland and Wales.

Male and female options will be available for yoga, rock climbing and person in steamy room. According to Burge via the Los Angeles Times <http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-new-emoji-gender-neutra…>, the bearded man, a woman in a hijab and the giraffe were some of the most requested emoji. > > The proposal <https://www.forbes.com/sites/amitchowdhry/2016/11/29/hijab-gender-neutral-b…> of an emoji woman wearing a hijab was sought by a teenager named Rayouf Alhumedi, which was supported by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. The gender neutral emoji were proposed by Adobe designer Paul Hunt. And interestingly, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland pushed for the person in steamy room (sauna) emoji. > > The Unicode Consortium has made it a priority to include diverse sets of emoji in every release.

About a year later, the Unicode Consortium added 16 new emoji professions (including female and male versions) along with a rainbow flag.
