#TheChase

Entered in Emojis

Objectives

NASCAR partnered with Twitter to develop an emoji for the NASCAR Chase. Every time #TheChase was used, the emoji would automatically populate into the character field. In unison with the emoji development, a GIF was created to announce and promote it. Twitter identified the GIF as a best practice to announce new emojis.
