Introduction to Pinterest Marketing 📌 | May 24

With every aspect of our business and our marketing we need to ask ourselves - what are trying to achieve?

If brand awareness or traffic to your website is the answer then Pinterest is an incredibly powerful (and unutilised tool) for marketers.

This workshop will talk through the foundations of Pinterest Marketing from the platform, how to structure and implement a successful Pinterest business account, keyword research, and a sprinkling of ads.

If the recent Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp outages have taught us anything, it is that as marketers we can’t put all our digital marketing eggs in Zuk’s basket.

We need a marketing plan and strategy that is diversified.

Enter Pinterest.

Although Pinterest is classified as a social media platform, it is so much more than that. Pinterest is the lovechild of Google & Instagram. That’s right - it’s a visual Google. Which means not only can it help grow your brand awareness (fun fact Pinterest users are 3x more likely to click on to your website on Pinterest than ANY other social media platform). But Pinterest can also help support your SEO strategy, and can in fact help get you some first page Google results. Gasp.

Still not convinced? Sprout Social reported in March this year that 85% of users have made a purchase based on seeing a branded pin.

I’m Hayley, a tee and jeans kinda gal, with 3 beautiful kids and a full-time digital marketing business. After 15 years working agency and client side on some pretty swish corporate type brands (think LEGO, Myer, Victoria University, Spin Master, Penguin Random House and Mattel) I took my digital marketing show on the road so I could hand all the knowledge, skills and power over to my clients. Small businesses with big hearts. The underdogs going it alone.

I’m a dab hand at running campaigns, handling TV ads and explaining social media to peeps in suits. I know what works and am fanatical about staying on top of the trends.

I help small business people who get what it’s like to build an empire while juggling the 8am kinder run. And who need to get the biggest bang for their marketing efforts.
