Marketing Unleashed

Would you like to know what other Pinners like you are doing on Pinterest? How about a glimpse into what kinds of content are working across the board and for accounts of different sizes? What about a look into what the big, established accounts are doing and what's working for them? If you love a good exposé (and you know you do!), tune in for an exclusive look at what we can learn from over 20m (!?) Pins shared last month.

You know your products and services and how they can make a difference in the lives of your ideal customers - but sometimes being SO close to your business leads to the dreaded "marketing think." 😱 You know that trap - where we get so deeply into our own heads we can no longer think like our customers. Which means we can no longer speak to our audience in a way that compels them to become our next new customer. 😭 Never fear! Cara Chace is joining us this week with a kind of "formula" (we love formulas), for sharing your content in a way that speaks to people effectively on Pinterest - of course - but also how to make the most of it on Instagram and Facebook! Because we know it's not the same everywhere!

We've been teasing, hinting, tempting you all for ages, and this week we're delivering - big time! Our very own (amazing) Pinterest ad rep, Shawnee Platero, is joining us to talk about Pinterest ads!!! We're going to talk about ad formats, targeting, and creatives. More importantly, we're going to talk about which options are best for YOUR goals, and get your Pinterest ad questions answered!!

Finding what works on Pinterest can feel like chasing a moving target. What we need more than anything else right now is data – and oh, do we have data!

More than that, we'll talk about action items to make this data work for YOU. And we're betting you'll have some great ideas to share.
