Pinterest: The Platform That Inspires Action

Unlike traditional social media, Pinterest is a place for planning, not just scrolling. With over half a billion monthly users, Pinterest continues to thrive while other platforms face stagnation, proving that people crave a positive, forward-thinking digital experience.

Just a few reasons why Pinterest is so powerful:

• 1.5 billion Pins are saved every week
• 10 billion boards globally
• 85% of users visit Pinterest to plan a project - from home makeovers to career goals
• 96% of searches are unbranded, making Pinterest a true discovery engine
• 80% of users find new brands on the platform - a goldmine for businesses

Pinterest isn’t just about inspiration. It’s about taking action. Users come with clear intent, and with Pins having a lifespan of 6–12 months, content has staying power far beyond the fleeting nature of other social channels.
