Friends Day

Friends Day is a made-up holiday that celebrates something real: our friends.
We wanted to remind everyone just how great their friends are, while giving them a way to say thanks.
We created 'Friend Awards' that you could give to any friend to thank them for being the best.
Over 21 million Friend Awards were shared on Friends Day, all over the world.

To kick things off, we crafted a personalized video experience for over 800 million Facebook users. Through an artful blend of art, copy, and sophisticated back-end code, we delivered meaningful, tailored films that highlighted the unique friendships each user had formed.

 
 

We then allowed users to hand-select Friend Awards that they could give out to friends. Some were based on data from their social graphs, like “Never Forgets Your Birthday,” or “Always Posts the Good Stuff.” Others were just for fun, like “My Favorite Weirdo.”
Below are just a few examples of the many Friend Awards you could give out.

 

And here are the rest of them!
