An innovative campaign from YFR client WWF, something to set precedents?

WWF has signed up more than 30,000 supporters in a week to a microdonation campaign on Twitter by using emojis featuring endangered species and the hashtag .
Emojis are small digital icons, such as a smiley face, that can be used express an emotion or thought. The emoji alphabet contains a number of animal characters, including pandas, whales and penguins.

WWF is seeking to use the popularity of emojis to encourage people to donate when they use them. To become an emoji donor people need to retweet WWF’s tweet featuring all 17 animal icons, which automatically signs them up.
