After 90 minutes, you’ll learn how to become a practiced and passionate Pinterest user yourself and be the communications leader for your organization on this red-hot platform.

Join PR News and Weber Shandwick for this timely Webinar that will show communicators how brands are using Pinterest right now to share their visual content and links with its rapidly expanding, passionate user base. You’ll learn how brands have made it easy for Pinterest users to “pin” their content on their own boards, how brands are paying attention to what their audience is pinning, how their content is being used as a source of information and inspiration and what kind of traffic growth they’re seeing as a result of Pinterest.

The hottest social platform on the Web right now is Pinterest, the two-year-old social pinboarding platform that now drives more referral traffic on the Web than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined. Pinterest has enabled people to share images and links that tie into their interests, inspirations and passions at a time when the Web is becoming emphatically more visual. Pinterest’s growth, particularly among women, has been phenomenal—as of February 2012 it has 10.3 million monthly active users, while just a month before it had 6.6 million monthly active users. Food, fashion and media brands, just for starters, have been happily surprised at the amount of referral traffic Pinterest is driving.

How Does the Webinar Work?

The live audio is delivered to your location over the telephone or your computer speakers.

You and your team will be able to have a live Q&A with all the speakers.

You need Real Player 10, Adobe Flash Player 9 or Windows Media Player 9 installed on your computer. If you do not have either, please follow the instructions below to download and install them. Or if you prefer, a phone for the audio and an Internet connection to let you watch the slides and other information on the Web will suffice. No other downloads or special hardware - a dial-up connection will work fine.
