Hi everyone!

I’m new here and really glad that I’ve found this forum. I work in a Brazilian advertisement agency (www.agenciaball.com.br) coordinating the market inteligence department, which is responsible for the online media planning.

My question is simple: how to use Pinterest to generate some buzz around a campain or brand?

Does anyone have used it with this purpose? Pinterest is growing fast and looks really promising in my opinion…

Thanks in advance for every single answer!

our  business is  big on  facebook and naturally went   big on  pinterest..400 followers in a couple of weeks….. our  business is a store full of    visual treats,home  decorating   stuff, women customers  and  fun shopping..all super popular facebook themes….so the people who like the store   naturally  like  our  facebook and  easily  migrate  to our  pinterest…. its  a nice little  back and forth…making  pinterest a  nice  benefit  to  our store…in a  natural  organic  progression…

not  thinking  that  would  work   with most   businesses… 

Hello RodrigoI have recently started using Pinterest just a few weeks ago. It is very interesting and easy to use.

I do agree with Dea about Pinterest on SME newsletter. Because after reading that article I now understand how to apply Pinterest into my business.

Have a GREAT Day!

here it is…  http://www.pinterest.com/annatgreenoak/    its about half me…angels,girls just want to have fun, garden…etc….but mostly about the store and  our  subjects.

i think  the  crossover   from  our  facebook  has  been  huge…. ive posted  the link on our page about once a week…  ive  been on about a month…and  have  seen   lots of hits to the website….lots of  talk about it in the store…as in :  im buying this for my pinterest project…i love your  boards, we like the same thing…etc etc…or theyre making  something and i  know  just what  because weve seen the same  pictures…  its  really  affecting   our  business and t he  trends  whirling  around us…

its  great  but i dont have a real plan on it  yet…
