Let’s face it, the Mad Men days of advertising are over. With the great advancements in technology, advertising has taken on many different forms, channels, trends, and techniques.
Since its launch in 2010, Pinterest has steadily become the third most popular social media platform among adults in the United States. The concept and purpose of the platform is rather simple: replace physical scrapbooks with digital scrapbooks to make the process of saving pictures and memories easier. Since then, Pinterest has become a hub for people to create wish lists, plans, aesthetically pleasing collages, and more. However, while Pinterest is still considered a social media platform, it can be utilized like a search engine. While using Pinterest, users can search for posts that they like and create artboards that they can later revisit and share with their friends.
