Nailing Pinterest: It's Not All Wedding Dresses and Desserts
MCS1 Marketing, Content and Social Strategy
Location: Ballroom D
MONDAY, 8:30 - 9:15 a.m.
For many institutions, Pinterest is considered a “secondary” social media platform; one that’s handed off to the student intern, or something that you don’t even want to touch. Although Pinterest has a stereotypically niche audience (hint: it includes muffin-top-busting workouts and DIY projects), it’s not something to count out of your social media strategy. Jackie Vetrano of Skidmore College explains how she took Pinterest from a tertiary platform to the front of the college’s social media strategy, and the lessons learned.
