Which emojis do you use professionally?
I run social media for a nonprofit that has a clean, authoritative voice on social media and across all external communications. We’re trying to use more emojis in our social posts and email newsletters, but I’m struggling to find more than a few emojis that are “professional” enough. These are the ones I use:
???? — Congratulations [partner] on your achievement!
????️ — Talking about a podcast
???? — Read this long news article or study
‼️— Responding to breaking / urgent news
???? — Announcing something➡️⬇️⤵️ as bullet points and “read more here”
Also FYI we don’t use glass emojis because they can end up being very political…!
Which emojis do you use? This is not a long enough list for all the uses I *want* to have!

I think there’s room for a lot of them. I use a lot of the smiley faces. Some of the pet ones since I work for a pet company. Hand ones like the pointing and different things. In actual copy, we don’t use a ton. Generally one per every few posts. And then I use them more in replies to the people talking to us based on what’s they are saying. Sometimes a sunshine or heart if it’s happy. Sometimes a flower for a thank you. Or a star or a check mark. It just depends! I think to make it professional it’s more about not overusing them.

After I posted this I realized that ???? is a ticket apparently. On Facebook it’s quite obvious ????♀️
