Committed to linking people to a brighter future, Link has collaborated with emoji™ to launch the “#Linkemoji Share Love and Fun” campaign, the first-ever emoji™ charity initiative that encourages the public to show their care towards those in need.

We hope to spread the message of love through this first-ever emoji™ charity campaign “#Linkemoji Share Love, Share Fun” and link people to better lives.” Macro Hüsges noted, “This wonderful campaign jointly presented with Link brings the energetic emojiTM to reality to spread happiness around and offer help to those in need.”
Specially custom-made emoji™ icons were made for the collaborating partner Link, Hong Kong Guide Dogs Association, Michele Reis, Karena Lam and Rex Tso. Inspired by the recipients’ facial features, these custom-made emoji™ icons were presented by Marco Hüsges at the ceremony. Michele and Karena then tried their hands at playing the Giant emoji™ Claw Machine filled with a pool of emoji™ balls.
Charity campaign “#Linkemoji Share Love, Share Fun” will be held from 19 January to 26 February, 2017. Members of the public are invited to create their personal emoji™ messages through “Park and Dine” mobile app or linkemoji.com and share the messages on Facebook.
