Hallmark Channel and the mobile messaging platform Snaps today announced the availability of KITTEN BOWL III Emojis on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. The social initiative is in support of the upcoming premiere of "Kitten Bowl III" on Sunday, February 7 12pm ET/PT, 11C on Hallmark Channel.
The
KITTEN BOWL III keyboard features emojis that are designed to encourage fan engagement and communication, allowing fans the ability to share their excitement leading up to the game with the help of these adorable and shareable icons. The keyboard includes emojis of the
KITTEN BOWL III cat-letes, such as Rob Gron-Cat-Ski, Howie Longhair and Coach John Hairball. Fans will also be able to share emojis of their favorite star players following the program.
"The
KITTEN BOWL III Emojis were designed as a unique and organic way to bring awareness to the upcoming anticipated game, while simultaneously engaging fans to connect with the program and each other in a way that hasn't yet been done before by the network," said Angela Megrey, Vice President, Social Media, Crown Media Family Networks. "The shareable and adorable keyboard emojis not only connects our fans to the
KITTEN BOWL franchise, but also helps spread increased awareness for 'Pet Project,' Hallmark Channel's advocacy in pet adoption."
"We are very excited about launching our very first kitten keyboard for this year's Kitten Bowl," said Chris Brown, Director of Product Marketing, Snaps. "Cats have become such an iconic part of internet culture that we feel bringing kitten content to the messaging space for peer-to-peer sharing is a huge win for Hallmark Channel."
The keyboard will also include animated GIFs of the cat-letes in action and a promotional video for Hallmark Channel's "Kitten Bowl III." The "Kitten Bowl" franchise is part of Hallmark Channel's evergreen corporate initiative, "Pet Project," a multi-faceted initiative devoted to celebrating pets by bringing light to the plight of shelter animals and the incredible joy adopting a pet can bring to our lives.
