Pandora, Twitter Launch Emoji Driven Tweet For A Playlist Campaign | hypebot

A very busy Pandora this morning announced a custom emoji program on Twitter as part of their “Sounds Like You” branding campaign. How it works:

_____________________________

Tweet “@pandoramusic + #soundslike + any emoji” and get an automated response from @pandoramusic with copy and a station / mixtape that that emoji “sounds like.”

For example, if someone tweets “@pandoramusic what does :bee emoji: #soundlike?” … we would tweet back, "@user #SoundsLike @Beyonce, of course! Try another emoji for more music."

That response would include a deep-link to Beyonce’s station on pandora. As there are ~1,300 emojis, results are a mash-up of genre stations, artist stations, random mixtapes, official “Sounds Like” mixtapes, etc.

Some examples: 

1. Goat - Drake

2. Fire - New Hip Hop
