22 office situations that we can all relate to...

Over the past few years GIFs have been taking the world by storm allowing us all the ability to convey exactly how we're feeling with a short moving image. GIFs help bridge the gap between video (which can be time consuming) and the difficulty surrounding finding the perfect words to express your message. GIFs can convey emotion and information in a fun and entertaining way that allows others to connect with the messages you are trying to get out there.

GIFs are fast becoming a language in their own right and incorporating them into your social media posts could help boost your post's performance massively if used correctly.

Still need convincing that GIFs are amazing? Take a look at some of our favourite GIFS below which capture relatable office scenarios. Those of us who have worked in an office, whether it’s corporate, commercial or a mate's garage running an elaborate scheme for penny stocks, will no doubt have suffered through many of these awkward, twitch-worthy situations.

Take a look and see how many sound familiar...
