Introducing the Pinterest Media Buyer Certification

8 May 2024 — Stacy Malone

A gold badge for Pinterest’s new Media Buyer Certification programme

You’ve put in hard work perfecting your Pinterest media skills. Now, reward yourself with an official certification to celebrate your expertise.

Our new Media Buyer Certification is now live on Pinterest Academy. This free programme recognises on-the-job experience and Pinterest expertise, helping marketers showcase their skills—and empowering agencies and brands to spot good talent, fast.

You asked. We delivered.  

Certifications have been a top request from agencies and advertisers since we launched Pinterest Academy. We’re excited to kick off the programme with our Pinterest Media Buyer Certification.

If you’re already using Pinterest Academy, you may have earned an Advertising Essentials skills badge after completing our foundational e-learning courses. Certifications are a different kind of milestone, designed to be more rigorous and require a higher level of commitment. They’re carefully crafted to showcase your broader expertise that specifically aligns with your job function. 

Certifications are professional credentials that also come with bragging rights—and a shiny gold badge. Your certification shows that you’re an advanced marketer on Pinterest, earning the right to say “I’m Pinterest certified”. You can add the badge to public social profiles to stand out and celebrate your work. Employers can also look for these badges to ensure they’re hiring top talent with a Pinterest seal of approval. 

How it works 

The Media Buyer Certification programme is already live, and you can take the exam at any time. It’s available to all, but we especially recommend it for people with two to five years of media buying experience, including one to two years specifically using Pinterest advertising tools. 

To get certified, you’ll need to pass a 60-question multiple choice exam. The exam covers topics like campaign activation, optimisation and ads reporting. While no coursework is required, you can use our study guide and practice exam to make sure you’re ready to go.  

Get started today 

We’re launching the Pinterest Media Buyer Certification today globally in English. We’ll add more languages later in 2024, and even more certifications starting in 2025. To get started, enrol here—and when you’re ready, take the exam to earn your new certification.
