Twitter offers marketers targeting via emojis
Brand managers looking to connect with and deliver relevant ads to consumers on the platform can now target their efforts based on users’ recently tweeted symbols.

On Wednesday, the social platform announced that marketing pros can now send targeted ads to users who have recently used emojis in their tweets—so don’t be surprised to see a Domino’s ad if you’ve recently used the pizza emoji or a more somber ad if you’ve been tweeting crying emojis.
Twitter announced the feature in a company blog post:
