Why am I here today? It’s probably because of
this...

An anthropological
take on the
furore around Pinterest
![Page 14: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A Primer:
In current foraging and horticultural cultures, a large portion of daily activity revolves around finding and preparing food (e.g, Hill & Hurtado, 1996).
In modern societies, much less time is spent on food acquisition and preparation.
Modern humans still devote considerable time and effort to foraging, although the foraging context is now in the settings of shopping malls, grocery stores, and Internet sites (Hantula, 2003).

But anyway, before we get stuck in...

What I’m going to cover today:
What is it? Why are people talking about it? Who is using it? How are they using it? How are brands using it? Anything Else? Key Learnings and Actions
![Page 17: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What is it?
![Page 18: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How the idea came about…
"I was always collecting images on the web in folders on the desktop of my computer, but it wasn’t a very good system for remembering where things came from or who made them. We wanted to create a place where you can go to upload or collect things on the web and simply organize it the way you want to.”
Evan Sharp, Pinterest Designer and Co-Founder
![Page 19: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Put Simply…
”Imagine getting to do window shopping of all the best and most creative things in the world without having to go to the mall? That’s what Pinterest is.”
Tuhin Kumar, Designer, Pulse (A personalised newspaper app)
![Page 20: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pinterest is a content curation platform which allows users to organize and share beautiful and interesting content they find on the web.
Think of a bookmarking site, a social network, a gift finder and a platform for collaboration all rolled in to one.
Content is organised in “Boards” that work as categories. Each piece of content is called a “Pin” (see right).
In more detail…
![Page 21: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
People can ‘like’ your pins or they can “repin” them on to their boards, comment on them and share on Facebook and Twitter.
You can follow people and they can follow you.
Or you can just follow a particular board of theirs rather than following them which automatically follows all their boards.
But there’s a social element too…
![Page 22: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why are people talking about it?
![Page 23: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

And more time is already being spent on Pinterest than some of the key social networks...

“Weekly visits to Pinterest from North American users alone hit 29 million in July, up from 1.27 million a year earlier which represents a Y-O-Y increase of 2,183% in site visits.”

5 key learnings…
Pinterest is a visual content curation platform and is a symptom of us moving progressively towards the era of the visual web.
It’s a huge traffic driver for brands, retail, travel, charities, news & more.
You don’t have to follow everyone, just the boards which interest you the most. Remember, this is all about the interest graph.
Add buttons and sharing functionality to your browser / shop / website / blog.
Now the site is open to the public, expect to see an even greater take-up by brands and individuals alike.
![Page 69: Pinterest cipr presentation final 6th sept](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103109/5441ac3cafaf9f4e208b4783/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
5 key actions…
Build your brand out of its specific sector by sharing interesting, topical, relevant content, creating engagement.
Ensure that the visual content on your site is ‘pinnable’.
Don’t forget about video, they can be pinned too.
Use collaborative boards as ways of bringing your team together.
Add your products (with their prices) to drive awareness and social currency along with adding buttons and sharing functionality to your browser / shop / website / blog.
