“When you are preparing for the launch of this kind of strategy, it’s helpful for your team to begin by using the platform personally. Next, it’s important to research existing brand pins in the community. When Sony searched Pinterest, they found a lot of gadgets as they expected but they also found a lot of old school products and pictures of fan made products such as Sony walkman shaped cakes.
“By knowing what fans wanted, this allowed the Sony team to plan its potential boards and analyze the assets they already had in its Flickr community, in house and in its archives.”
Great excuse to add the WP pinterest plugin too..
