This document provides an overview of Pinterest and how it can be used for B2B marketing. Pinterest allows users to curate images and videos into boards on specific topics. While traditionally used more by women for things like home design, crafts and fashion, some big brands have started using it successfully to showcase their products and culture. For B2B companies, it's important to post high-quality, inspiring visual content that represents the brand rather than just advertising products. Pinterest users enjoy discovering new topics through others' boards, so content should allow people to find a company interesting rather than directly pushing messages.
