Brands can design four or eight stickers like accessories and other props for users to add to their own photos. Photos with a brand’s stickers are shared with all of a user’s followers, allowing brands to be featured by their fans in a truly authentic way. #Stickers act as a visual hashtag, meaning photos with the brand’s sticker will be connected and discoverable to anyone who taps the brand’s sticker. This allows a brand to see and engage with the people who are using their stickers in creative ways.
Pepsi is the exclusive launch partner of promoted #Stickers, and will share nearly 50 custom stickers across 10 markets, including India, for fans to use as part of their global PepsiMoji campaign. The partnership also includes a custom niche creator campaign showing consumers how to use their #Stickers, as well as a branded Pepsi emoji and a promoted trend. This campaign marks the largest partnership between Twitter and Pepsi to date.
Promoted #Stickers are available globally to select marketers with a managed account.
