Italy
Mercedes-Benz Formula 1
To support its F1 team during Italian Grand Prix, @MercedesBenz_IT launched two custom emojis representing the faces of drivers @Nico_rosberg and @LewsiHamilton with #GoNico and #GoLewis. The emojis also took on physical form for the first time with emoji masks, which were used both on Twitter and live in the autodrome in Monza.
Nico showed his love for his custom emoji. And both Rosberg and Hamilton asked users to Tweet their own emoji to show support. There was also a Scratchreel for people to have fun with. Finally, @MercedesBenz_IT held a live studio to support the live Tweeting strategy around the race.
