About this kit

Behind-the-scenes posts are often the ones followers remember, because they show a real moment instead of a finished advert: the first test batch that went wrong, the studio at midnight before a launch, the team packing orders on a Friday. The story line in marketing does the same job, showing how something was made, what went wrong and how it turned out. This kit groups emoji for those posts. The camera set frames the moment, the work-in-progress set covers making and fixing, the team set brings in the people, and the late-night set suits the honest side of a deadline. Tell one real moment per post, with a name, a place and a detail only someone who was there would know.

Using these emoji well

  • Tell one real moment per post, with a name, a place and a detail only someone who was there would know.
  • Honest moments, such as a failed test batch, earn more trust than a polished one; say what you changed afterwards.
  • Screen readers speak each emoji by name, so keep who, where and what happened in words.
