Why Advertise on Pinterest?

Pinterest is a visual platform which allows its over 430 million active monthly users to seek inspiration for various aspects of their day-to-day life to search, save and shop their ideas.

Just like advertising on other social media platforms, with Pinterest you can clearly define the target audience and put visual content in front of them to drive traffic to your brand’s website or landing pages, generate leads and increase sales.

While Google Ads and Meta Ads are more well known marketing channels, Pinterest Ads allow you to attract more customers by utilising their audience targeting options, as well as targeting customers by the keywords they are searching for within the platform.

As a platform there are numerous different campaign goals which Pinterest offers to its advertisers. Whether it’s ecommerce businesses wanting to increase their online sales with shopping ads, or a business just looking to increase website traffic or brand visibility there is a campaign type for everyone.

When creating a Pinterest ads campaign, our specialist Pinterest advertising experts will hold an initial discovery call to clearly define your business objectives. This will allow us to come up with a marketing strategy which aligns with your goals for the platform. During this call we will also clearly define the target audience for the product or service your business offers to ensure only the most relevant people are being shown the ads. At campaign creation we will conduct in depth audience research to generate a highly engaged audience including your target customers.

Pinterest is a platform which heavily relies on visuals. As a digital agency we will work closely with you to create ads and provide new ideas which utilise both image and video pins. With our data driven approach we can also identify which ad formats work best with your marketing objectives to ensure you are getting the most out of your paid ads.

Although on the surface it may seem simple to create promoted pins and define an audience. As with other advertising campaigns it can be very easy to waste your marketing budget and not receive a return on ad spend. As a specialist Pinterest ads agency, we analyse campaign performance, identify which ad format yields positive outcomes and use key metrics to optimise these further.

As a certified Meta Ads Agency, why not combine both services for maximum exposure?

Our Approach

Pinterest Ads Agency – What To Expect

Discovery Stage

Understanding your business objectives is our immediate priority. For your Pinterest campaign to be successful, we need to gain a better understanding of your target audience, demographic, interests, behaviours and your campaign goals. If you’re not sure about how to provide this information, don’t worry, our Pinterest Ads managers are trained to gather this information and will conduct the call in such a way that through discussion, we will learn enough to build your advertising campaign.

Pinterest Ads Strategy

Straight after the discovery stage, we will now have enough information about your business, prospects and objectives to be able to create a strategy that is unique to your business. We’ll keep you informed and seek your approval for the audience and ad formats that we create. It’s at this stage that we’ll get a real understanding of the reach of your campaign as well as the visual content for this.

Pinterest Ads Creation

Your Pinterest Ads agency manager will create your ads using your images, stock images or through a mix of both. We will set up an easy way to share images and from learnings from previous stages, we’ll create multiple ads using varying headlines, descriptions, ad copy, call to action buttons and images. It’s vital at this stage that we create multiple ads to be able to test the best performing ads going forward. It’s also at this stage that we’ll create and install your Pinterest Tag which will help us configure conversion tracking to be able to measure performance, sales & optimise your paid ads.

Pinterest Ads Management

Once your campaign has begun, data will start populating from the Pinterest Tag, essentially we’ll be able to use this data to monitor user behaviour and determine whether people are interacting with your ads in the way we want. We can also use this to define the selected Pinterest audience, make adjustments according to data insights to optimise your Pinterest Ads. This will ensure you’re getting the best from your marketing budget. Our ultimate aim will be to ensure your Pinterest Ads are running as efficiently as possible, the majority of time this means increasing conversion volume whilst reducing the cost per conversion, or increasing the overall return on ad spend.

Targeting is the heart of any successful Pinterest Ads campaign. We use a combination of Pinterest’s powerful tools and our Pinterest Ads agency expertise to define your ideal audience.

While both Facebook and Instagram Ads fall under the Meta umbrella, they cater to different audiences and use distinct creative formats. Facebook Ads are excellent for a wide range of objectives, including detailed targeting and various ad placements like news feed, marketplace, and video ads.

By strategically leveraging both platforms, you can create a holistic campaign that captures attention across multiple touchpoints.
