At Pinterest, we have a single mission: To bring everyone the inspiration to create a life that they love. We’re passionate that all content on our platform should do exactly that. But how exactly do you create Pins that inspire? We posed this question to a team of academics and researchers, who came up with a new content framework for succeeding on Pinterest.
This framework is called the Five Dimensions of Inspiration. Think of it like a creative sandbox to help you to develop standout content for Pinterest.
These five dimensions complement our existing best practices to help you to craft content that inspires and performs. As a rule of thumb, your Pins should include at least two of the five dimensions, and should always remain authentic to your brand voice.
As we look forward to the festive season, it’s clear that we’ve all been handed a blank slate. How we celebrate will be unique this year, and people are looking to brands to help them to make the most of the changing festive season climate. Leverage the following five attributes to make your creative shine and bring your ads to life.
