Pinterest Advertising

Kia ora. Let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind lately: finding a rhythm in this chaotic creator economy that actually feels sustainable. I’ve been scrolling through the latest platform updates with a cup of cold coffee beside me, thinking about how much energy we pour into algorithms that change overnight. If you’re building a presence on Pinterest from here in Aotearoa, you know the feeling. One week your pins are flying, the next you’re wondering if the algorithm ate your homework. ...

You’re sitting at your desk in Auckland, a half-drunk flat white going cold beside your laptop. The morning light is doing that thing it does in late September—golden, sharp, cutting across the keyboard. You’ve got a mood board open on one screen, a Pinterest Ads Manager dashboard on the other, and a knot of anxiety tight in your chest.

Reels reach is down 40% from last quarter. You’ve tried TikTok Shop, but the return rates on vintage sizing are doing your head in. And Facebook Marketplace? Lovely locals, but they want everything for $20. ...

Kia ora! MaTitie here from BaoLiba. Let’s have a cuppa and chat about something that’s been on my mind lately — Pinterest advertising in 2026, and what it actually means for creators like us down here in Aotearoa. If you’re a Kiwi creator with roots in Singapore (or just someone who appreciates that precision-driven, data-first approach to digital marketing), you’ve probably noticed the chatter around Pinterest’s latest earnings. The platform beat Q2 targets — $1.18 billion in revenue, 43 cents adjusted EPS — but then dropped the guidance bomb: slower growth ahead. Shares dipped 9% after hours. Meanwhile, Director Gokul Rajaram offloaded 1,050 shares at $23.03 on August 19th. ...
