Spotlight success

Arla Skyr's first Pinterest campaign was anchored by a strategic use of Pinterest's Premiere Spotlight, an ad format specifically designed for maximum impact and visibility. Having Premiere Spotlight on the search feed gave Arla Skyr exclusive access to the first ad placement on the search page carousel for an entire day. This means that whenever Pinterest users in Germany searched for anything on that day, they reached a wide audience and also connected with people as they started their journey for some culinary inspiration. 

Pinterest Premiere Spotlight worked perfectly to boost our brand visibility, tapping into its unique ability to inspire culinary discovery and gain incremental reach among a wide range of audiences in Germany.”
