Oh gosh please no. Gifs are fine on Reddit, but I personally don't think they should be used in professional communications. I don't find it humanizes companies so much as it makes it look like they're trying too hard to appear youthful. It's like a parent insisting on repeating an inside joke you had with your friends.
