AI is taking over many conversations and platforms. It’s been an active conversation as it relates to Pinterest, but there is room for us to see it in a positive rather than a negative light. That’s what Meaghan Williamson and I are chatting about in this episode.

Pinterest Predicts 2026 is here, and the list of 21 predictions is amazing! But who created this list? How did they come up with the ideas? What data were pulled in, and how did they interpret that data? I wanted to speak with the creator, leader, and mastermind behind this massive research project. Sydney Stanback joins me on this podcast to talk about how this report came to be and what she has learned from being part of the development of Pinterest Predicts for 6 years. This was a fun conversation. I know you’ll love it.

In a recent conversation with one of my Pinterest educator friends we discussed some hurdles that marketers might have regarding using Pinterest. Namely, how boards work on Pinterest. For me, this was a lightbulb moment. I hadn’t really thought about how boards worked on Pinterest. I’ve always just know. For the first I empathized with the concept being one that would cause some marketers to be confused. In order to help overcome any misunderstandings people might have about boards, I wanted to teach more about the history, the concept, and how this can help marketers reach more people on Pinterest. I thought it would be best to partner with Pinterest and pull together definitions, resources, and workflows for how to be utilize boards for Pinterest marketing.
