Hi everyone,

We've been doing some research into the best platforms to engage our audiences, and one of the platforms that has been identified is Pinterest.

We don't currently have a Pinterest page, but wanted to reach out to this community to see if anyone else has used the platform and what their experience was?

Thanks very much!

Hi Sarah,

I don't use it in my current role at the NLA (although the idea has been floated around), but I did experiment with it in a previous role at the NPG. It's hard to say whether it was worthwhile in the long-term (because I left) but the sort term results looked promising for website conversions.

Pinterest is a long-term game and only very useful for evergreen content. I found it best to think about it as another search engine to tap into, rather than a social channel for community building/engagement.

While at the NPG we experimented with Pinterest's 'Story Pins' (kind of like a mix between Stories and Reels), which were new at the time, and worked closely with the Pinterest Australia team (who were amazing) to develop a strategy for them.

Hi Sarah - I haven't used it myself but I believe DSS are going to use it for advertising for a campaign - the particular audience they are targeting must be on that channel.
