The company is increasingly establishing a unique value proposition for advertisers that could provide a competitive advantage in the long haul.

Small businesses and “Direct-to-consumer” brands, alike, are increasingly embracing Pinterest’s platform, driven by stay-at-home trend. This, in turn, has opened up new business avenues for Pinterest in the recovering digital marketing and advertising domain.

, increasing investments in mobile, video ads, connected TV (CTV) and programmatic transactions are expected to facilitate a recovery in 2021, with U.S. programmatic digital display spending set to hit $79.61 billion.

Enhanced product offerings, wider Pinner and advertiser base, simplified ad systems through Verified Merchant Program and Pinterest Partners Program for small businesses are key catalysts for growth in 2021.

On Mar 3, 2021 Pinterest hosted its first global advertiser summit, Pinterest Presents, in which the company rolled out its latest ad product updates, including Pinterest Premiere, a new video ad solution, enabling advertisers to engage their audiences at scale thanks to exclusive video placement.

Moreover, the pandemic has bolstered digital media consumption with consumers spending more time indoors on various media platforms and streaming video services. In fourth-quarter 2020, the number of boards created on Pinterest globally increased 50% year over year. Pinterest witnessed growth in boards created in core Pinterest categories, including a 49% increase in beauty, a 103% increase in women’s fashion and a 37% increase in home decor.

This rapid change in customer preference is a boon for Pinterest’s digital marketing services. Moreover, the launch of a new app with

, giving Pinterest’s more than one million merchants a quick way to upload catalogs to Pinterest and turn their products into shoppable Product Pins in just a few clicks, is expected to improve advertiser engagement and experience on the platform.
