The new Pinterest ad’s will be the talk of the town.

Pinterest, the global pinning platform where people come to discover, collect and organize ideas has released a suite of new tools and functionalities for advertisers on it’s platform called mobile ad tools, making it quick and easy to launch ads directly from your mobile phone.

Pinterest demographics in 2019 show that roughly 81% of users are females with 40% of new users being males – the platform is still primarily female dominated. Pinterest announced on their blog the release of their Mobile Ad Tools, a feature that gives businesses the ability to easily create and manage Pinterest ad campaigns on a mobile device, at any time.

Pinterest is certainly working for marketers who know how to use and optimize their pinterest pins. The platform is working for many people and results are being clearly measured. Phillip Wachter, co-founder and CEO of FOUNT states “We are seeing a drastic increase in engagement when Pins are promoted — up to 4,430%. Pinterest is bringing more traffic”

This is a timely announcement as the buzz around the Adtech industry is that marketers are struggling to acquire profitable Facebook and Instagram traffic which historically was a lucrative source of high quality users in massive amounts of volume. Facebook especially is being more selective with giving markers on the platform organic reach and forcing brands to pay more and more to reach the audience they desire.
