InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, today announces the launch of the Holiday Inn Express® brand’s all-new BREAKFA-moji keyboard, available for free download via the iTunes App Store and Google Play. The new keyboard, a first of its kind for any hotel brand, features 25 playful breakfast characters, and just like the brand’s Express Start™ breakfast bar, offers something for everyone - from cinnamon rolls and sausage to oatmeal and yogurt, and of course, the brand’s beloved one-touch pancake machine.
Jennifer Gribble, Vice President, Holiday Inn Express® Brand, Americas, IHG said: “This year, we have been going big on breakfast, and specifically our one-touch pancake machine, which we think is the smartest breakfast gadget out there. With the launch of our new BREAKFA-mojis, we are further integrating breakfast and technology, giving people a fun and creative way to share their love of breakfast and the many delicious choices available at Holiday Inn Express hotels with their friends and family.”
According to the 2015 Emoji Report1, emojis are the fastest growing language in history, and are used by 92 percent of the online population. Frequent users feel that emojis express their feelings better than words. When it comes to a love of breakfast, the Holiday Inn Express brand believes there is no better way to say “I love pancakes” than through a work of emoji art.

“Last year 100 million Americans didn’t visit a dentist, and millions more live in communities with little or no access to dental care,” said Patrick, driver of the No. 10 Chevrolet SS in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. “This is an issue that affects a lot of hard-working people, including NASCAR fans, who are often living in pain. It’s time to do something about it, and that’s why I’m proud to partner with Aspen Dental and Oral Health America.”
Through the Healthy Mouth Movement, dentists and team members from every Aspen Dental practice in 27 states will devote a day to providing much-needed dental care to those who need it most – free of charge, no questions asked.
