The internet is buzzing with the idea that short-form video content might not be serving our audiences anymore, but might it just be we’re sharing the short-form video content in the wrong way? We aren’t leading them anywhere. We’re playing to algorithms, which is often what we need to do in this game, but in that, we’ve forgotten our end consumer and we’re no longer creating for them. In this episode, we’re diving into our recent switch and discovering why we’re no longer creating for Instagram.  April showers bring May flowers…and April spring cleaning brings a happy person in May. I couldn’t really tighten up that statement but you get the idea. Spring is a great time to clean out all the dust on your Pinterest account and get geared up for the back half of the year. This month Simple Pin is offering 20% off our Deep Cleans and Builds. Let me tell you a bit more.

We’ve had episodes in the past that discussed this topic but recently we’ve been asked about it more. And more on the topic of tracking if Pinterest is bringing in conversions. I’m going to lay out what we have done and then talk a little bit more about some options we haven’t tested but hope to try soon.  —------- See full show notes for all episodes at Simple Pin Media.

I came across a thread on LinkedIn from a product manager at Pinterest. Someone tagged Barry Hott in a post and he also linked a recent YouTube video. I watched the video comparing ads across all platforms and the title was how to advertise in 2023. I got a little nosey and went down the road of internet stalking and realized I need to hear more about Barry’s story. He also said on the podcast, high intent/low intent for Pinterest advertising. This is something we’ve been saying for a while but the way he framed it up compared to all other platforms, was awesome. I shared the video on my IG and the realized, i should probably just get to know this guy.  —------- See full show notes for all episodes at Simple Pin Media.
