How to Use Pinterest as an Agency and Client Tool

As an early adopter of Pinterest, it’s fun to see the image pinning site begin to pique the interest of other PR professionals, as well as fashion brands. This week I shared my obsession with Pinterest in an article on Cision Navigator, along with other experts Mikinzie Stuart, founder of PR Geek Speak and digital junior account executive at Peppercom, Gini Dietrich, founder and CEO of Arment Dietrich and author of the Spin Sucks, principal Autumn Barnes Mayfield of the Mayfield Group Public Relations,  Skirt PR president Adrienne Eckert Petersen and Enid Hwang, community manager of Pinterest. Quite a group!

Here’s my bit:

Crosby Noricks, founder of PR Couture and director of social media at Red Door Interactive, thinks Pinterest is great for internal collaboration and campaign ideas.

“It’s a good way to show an aesthetic vision,” she said. “Instead of explaining your vision with words you can create a board and pin photos that illustrate your vision. Then, you can show clients and co-workers. It definitely got my office interested.”

Depending on the client’s goals, Noricks says, it offers a lot of potential. Those in the décor, lifestyle, fitness, fashion, jewelry and even home-building fields may find it useful as a collaborative tool or to create inspiration for branding.
