Elissa Duffy - Gravitas

Describe yourself with an emoji…

🦎 The chameleon (or lizard) emoji is the one that describes my personality the best because I am very personable. I have a strong ability to change and adapt my behaviour depending on the appropriate linguistic register of my audience, just like the chameleon changes its colours.

Daniella Duxbury - Commando Joe’s

I'm a strong, smiley, driven person. I'm a thoughtful, ambitious and optimistic, I enjoy working hard because the results always show from it.This perfectly describes me, tough but fair.

Ruby Bretherton - Cunning Plan

Describe yourself with an emoji…

🙋🏼‍♀️ This emoji best describes my personality, because I'm friendly. I am one to always say ‘Hi how are you’? I am approachable, a good listener and I feel I understand people and make friends very easily. My attitude is always positive, and I have a willingness whatever the situation. The raised arm also shows me constantly reaching higher above the rest, this matches my confidence to ask questions, so I fully understand and engage in conversation.

I'm hard working and quick to learn. I've seen enough of the world to know what I want from it. I love to laugh and have a good time.

Shannen Davies - BW Marketing

Describe yourself with an emoji…

😋 I would say the smiling emoji with the tongue out best describes me. This really highlights my weird and wonderful side but also how I try to be as outgoing as possible without taking life too seriously. This emoji is what people would describe me as when they get to know me for my kind-hearted spirit and trying to make the best out of the bad situations in life.

😂 The crying, whilst laughing emoji probably best describes my personality as I'm a very extroverted person who enjoys laughing along with others and just generally enjoying the day.

Matthew Anderson - Hidden Retreats

🥂 The champagne emoji best describes me because you've got to work hard and play harder! I tend to go 300 miles per hour with any project but this also requires time off for a pit stop!
