Ad agencies rendered as emojis

Emojis had a very sporty week: Roger Federer tweeted his Wimbledon Saturday entirely in emoji narrative. Not to be outdone, the entire NBA went crazy with the illustrated characters on Wednesday as the DeAndre Jordan drama played out on social media.

Taking inspiration from Darren Rovell and social media agency Laundry Service’s chart of NBA emojis, we decided to come up with the emojis most befitting different agencies — including Laundry Service. While some are literal translations, others evoke classic campaigns that the agency is known for. Did we miss any? Don’t fret, we’re going to do a second round. Tweet them at us.
