Pinterest Ads that turn
discovery into revenue.

Pinterest is where people plan what they buy next: the kitchen, the outfit, the wedding, the reno. We build catalog-driven Pinterest Ads with vertical pin creative, Shopping ads, and dynamic retargeting, then measure the whole thing on ROAS instead of saves.

Why it works

Where intent lives
before the search.

On most ad platforms you interrupt people. On Pinterest you meet them while they are actively planning a purchase, which changes the economics of every click.

People do not open Pinterest to be entertained. They open it to plan a kitchen remodel, a capsule wardrobe, a wedding, a dinner, a nursery. That planning mindset means an ad is not an interruption. It is part of the research, which is why Pinterest consistently converts for considered, visual purchases.

It also behaves differently than paid social on Meta. Pins have a long shelf life, so a saved pin can keep sending you buyers months after the spend. Pair that with a clean product feed, ideally from your Shopify catalog, and Shopping ads plus dynamic retargeting do the compounding work that saves and impressions never will.

Purchase intent, not idle scrolling
Pinners arrive planning to spend. You bid on people who are already deciding what to buy, so the click starts warmer than a cold social impression.
Intent
Visual discovery earns the click
The feed is the product. A native vertical pin sits inside browse and search results, so strong creative gets discovered rather than skipped.
Discovery
Pins compound for months
A pin keeps getting saved and surfaced long after launch. Reach stacks over time instead of dying the moment you pause the budget.
Longevity
Built for ecommerce catalogs
Home, fashion, beauty, food, wedding, and DIY brands live here. A synced catalog turns every product into a shoppable, retargetable ad.

What we run

Every Pinterest
ad format, handled.

Pinterest has a wider format set than most paid channels. We match the format to the goal instead of boosting whatever pin performed organically.

01

Ad formats

Standard Pins, Idea and video ads, Carousel, Collections, Quiz, and Showcase. Each one earns its place against an awareness, consideration, or conversion goal.

02

Shopping & catalog

Product feed setup, product groups, and Shopping ads that pull straight from your catalog, plus dynamic retargeting that shows browsers the exact items they viewed.

03

Audience targeting

Interests, keywords, demographics, customer lists, engagement and site audiences, and actalike expansion. Layered into prospecting and retargeting tiers, not one flat blob.

04

Creative for discovery

Vertical 2:3 pins built native to how people browse Pinterest, with text overlay, lifestyle context, and variants tested per format. Not Meta creative resized and recycled.

05

Full-funnel structure

Awareness and video views up top, consideration in the middle, conversion and catalog sales at the bottom. Budgets and bids set to the objective at each stage.

06

Tracking & measurement

Pinterest Tag plus the Conversions API for server-side, deduplicated events. Conversion optimization, ROAS, and catalog performance reported at the product-group level.

What's actually included

No boosted pins.
Real campaigns.

Managed Pinterest, end to end. Setup, creative, targeting, and measurement, with a clear line item for each so you always know what your budget bought.

Most Pinterest management is a promoted pin and a monthly screenshot. That leaves the catalog, the Conversions API, and the retargeting layer, the parts that actually move ROAS, on the table.

We run the full stack. Feed and tracking first, then a campaign structure built for prospecting and retargeting, then creative and audiences we test every week against your real conversion data.

Monthly
Our approach

From catalog
to compounding sales.

A 60-day path from a raw account to a full-funnel Pinterest engine that keeps returning on spend after the pins have aged in.

01
Days 1–14 · Setup

Get the plumbing right.

Account audit, domain verification, product feed, Pinterest Tag, and the Conversions API. Nothing launches until conversions are tracking accurately end to end.

02
Days 15–30 · Build

Structure and create.

Campaign architecture across the funnel, product groups for Shopping ads, first audiences, and a batch of native vertical pins built to be discovered.

03
Days 31–60 · Learn

Launch, then read the data.

Prospecting and retargeting live together. We test formats, audiences, and creative against real ROAS, letting the algorithm exit its learning phase on clean signal.

04
Day 60+ · Scale

Pour budget into winners.

Scale the product groups and audiences that hit target, refresh creative before it fatigues, and expand into new formats and seasons without losing efficiency.

How we compare

Same platform.
Different work.

Most Pinterest management treats it like a smaller Meta. That leaves the parts that make Pinterest profitable switched off.

Blended catalog ROAS

A home and decor brand was spending on Pinterest with promoted pins and no catalog. We connected the feed, installed the Conversions API, and rebuilt the account around Shopping ads and dynamic retargeting. Nine months in, Pinterest scaled to a 5.2× blended ROAS, retargeting alone hit 8.4×, and the channel now drives a third of new-customer revenue at a lower CAC than paid social.

FAQ

Pinterest Ads,
plainly answered.

Is Pinterest Ads worth it for my business?+
If you sell something people plan and picture before buying, yes. Pinterest is strongest for home and decor, fashion, beauty, food, wedding, travel, and DIY, because those buyers use the platform to research purchases. If your product is impulse-only or purely B2B with no visual angle, other channels usually come first.
How is Pinterest different from Meta or Google Ads?+
Meta interrupts entertainment and Google captures active search. Pinterest sits in between: people are in a planning, high-intent mindset but earlier in the journey. Pins also have a long lifespan, so spend keeps compounding after launch, and competition is lighter in many categories, which can mean lower CPMs than Meta for the same audience.
Do I need a product catalog or Shopify to advertise?+
You can run standard and video pins without one, but a catalog unlocks the best performance. It powers Shopping ads and dynamic retargeting, where every product becomes a shoppable, personalized ad. If you are on Shopify the feed connects cleanly, and it is usually the first thing we set up.
Which ad formats actually perform on Pinterest?+
For ecommerce, Shopping ads from your catalog and Collections ads tend to drive the most efficient conversions, since they move people from browse straight to product. Idea and video ads build reach and consideration, and standard pins carry evergreen offers. We match the format to the funnel stage rather than betting everything on one.
How do you track conversions and prove ROAS?+
We install the Pinterest Tag and the server-side Conversions API, then deduplicate events so checkouts and leads report accurately even when browsers block pixels. Campaigns optimize toward conversions or catalog sales, and reporting is built around ROAS and product-group performance, not saves or impressions.
How long until Pinterest ads perform?+
Conversion campaigns need a couple of weeks to exit the learning phase on clean data. Most accounts see a workable ROAS by month two and three, and it tends to improve from there as pins age, audiences mature, and we scale into the product groups that are already winning.
