What is Pinterest?Pinterest is a social media network that enables people to share their interest through pictures, places, videos and articles. Pinterest launched in 2010 but it wasn’t popular that time but nowadays it’s the most popular marketing tool in US and in Europe. Statistics shows that Pinterest is 21% more popular than Twitter among Internet users. According to studies 80% of Pinterest users are women from the Midwest and they are behind Pinterest growth.

How it works?Users can upload their pictures from their computers, or pin it from a website or re-pinning it from users. Users can add these pins to their boards, which are like a collage that have a common theme. Users can like, pin, comment or share peoples’ content, users can follow friends and they can follow a specific board that they have interest in. As well as that people can invite other people to pin stuff on their boards.

Choosing PinterestI’ve created a Pinterest account to market my campaign to raise awareness about kid’s obesity. I chose Pinterest because it’s engaging, visually appealing and it’s the next big social media because it’s user friendly and fun to use. As well as that there are lots of options and potentials on Pinterest. It’s different from Instagram, it allow people to see all the pictures in the same order that the account user created them and the picture don’t go down and forgotten by people the boards are available for everyone to see them.
