2. About
How it Works
● People use Pinterest to discover and save
ideas.
● Every Pin lives on a “board” that clusters
related ideas. Users might sort their boards
by need or interest.
● Businesses also create their own Pins to
highlight products, build brand awareness
and increase sales.
● Businesses often sort their boards by
product category, interest or seasonal topic.
(business.pinterest.com, 2018)
“Pinterest shows people new
possibilities for their lives.”
(business.pinterest.com, 2018)
3. Pinterest
“Best Kind of Business Model”- (D’Onfro, 2015)
● Promoted Pins
○ “Cinematic pins”
○ “Cost-Per-Engagement (CPE)
○ “Cost-Per-Engagement (CPA)
● Pin Factory
● 50 billion pins on Pinterest
○ 2/3 from businesses and brands.
○ Advertisers can "promote" their pins
without affecting user experience.
(D’Onfro, 2015)
"We're not a social network. We can deliver
ads that don't feel like ads to you.”
- Tim Kendall,
General Manager of Monetization
Former Head of Production
(D’Onfro, 2015)
4. Has BuzzFeed Adopted the “Best”
Business Model?

development” (Peretti, 2017).
● Expanded Commerce Business through BuzzFeed’s Tasty Cookware at Walmart (Kafka, 2018)
(Peretti, 2017)
5. Has Conde Nast Adopted the “Best”
Business Model?

and content insights, precision micro-segmentation
and real-time campaign optimization”
(condenast.com).

7. Is Pinterest Disrupting Buzzfeed?
“Pinterest is BuzzFeed’s second largest social network referrer... In fact, more
than half of BuzzFeed's traffic from Pinterest goes to posts published more
than 2 months ago” - Dao Nguyen, VP of Growth and Data at Buzzfeed
(business.pinterest.com, 2018)
● Collaboration is key
8. How Can Buzzfeed Leverage it?
● Does not use “Promoted Pins” & “Pin Factory” (D’Onfro, 2015)
● Currently uses Pinterest usage data to monitor community changes
-Inform editorial and product decisions
● Should utilize Pinterest more to promote Buzzfeed extensions (i.e.
Buzzfeed Tasty)
9. Platform
Projections
● Pinterest currently has 200 million
monthly active users, which has doubled
its growth from 2015.
● Pinterest still lags behind Twitter’s 330
million monthly active users for 2017
● Pinterest’s user base is strong and
engaged, and this is likely to be a key factor
in driving revenue growth and valuation.
● Reports suggest that it now plans to go
public in 2019
● The key to its valuation in the next two
years will be its ability to grow revenues
significantly by attracting advertisers
through a strong value proposition.

Editor's Notes
While BF has not adopted PT’s exact business model, obviously, they have recently implemented what they see as the current optimal strategy for revenue collection, which they call a “multi-revenue model.” This is basically a strategy that utilizes their partners exclusively for business purposes.
The example that we’ve been discussing as a class has been Buzzfeed’s Tasty and their deal with Walmart.
Similarly, Conde Nast has their own strategies for creating revenue that they also believe is optimal to creating custom content for their consumers. They use their own data platform for analysis and a platform for customized content for their multiple platforms.
However, both companies utilize Pinterest as a platform and, more specifically, Buzzfeed’s Tasty is often pinned onto Pinterest food boards and things of that nature, so while the companies all implement slightly different tactics and models for making money, they all still operate within one another.
Simply put, rather than being direct competition, BF and PT collaborate as their users seem to use both platforms in unison. Disruption would be the wrong term. Maintaining and improving the flow between each platform would work in their best interests.
The representatives we have spoken with make it pretty clear that Buzzfeed is trying to make their own way in terms of creating revenue and advertisements, but they still use Pinterest’s platform as a tool for creating traffic to their website and vice-versa.
As a result wont be leveraging the business model, however, they utilize platform and business model to promote sections of their own platform such as Tasty, which has its own account.
