“Pinterest is a go-to platform for many Americans who are looking for inspiration in their upcoming projects, daily routines, and purchases. Brands must recognize this audience as a distinctive group of consumers and engage with them in a different way than general consumers.” Said Victor Gras, Senior VP at YouGov “Our report highlights a variety of brands are over-indexing with pinners, which provides a unique opportunity to examine what has led to their success in engaging with these consumers.”
The report also explores brands that Pinners are more likely to consider purchasing than the average American.
In total, the report identifies 90+ brands that are winning with pinners across Auto, CPG, Fashion, Media, Retail, Tech, Video Gaming, and more. It also uncovers which brands have improved their consideration among pinners since last year.
