When I first learned about Work Play Branding, I instantly loved their business model, but what made me fall in love with them even more is how they are creatively using Pinterest as a collaborative tool with their clients. To surface the clients' ideals in photos and pictures, to be able to support their photographers and designers to give the clients exactly what they are looking for. We’re going to dive into an interview with their founder and CEO Lyrik Fryer.

Pinterest Predicts 2026 is here, and the list of 21 predictions is amazing! But who created this list? How did they come up with the ideas?

Sydney Stanback joins me on this podcast to talk about how this report came to be and what she has learned from being part of the development of Pinterest Predicts for 6 years.

3 December 2025, 4:00 am - 25 minutes 3 secondsThis is the foundational thing that makes Pinterest different
In a recent conversation with one of my Pinterest educator friends we discussed some hurdles that marketers might have regarding using Pinterest. Namely, how boards work on Pinterest. For me, this was a lightbulb moment. I hadn’t really thought about how boards worked on Pinterest. I’ve always just know. For the first I empathized with the concept being one that would cause some marketers to be confused. In order to help overcome any misunderstandings people might have about boards, I wanted to teach more about the history, the concept, and how this can help marketers reach more people on Pinterest. I thought it would be best to partner with Pinterest and pull together definitions, resources, and workflows for how to be utilize boards for Pinterest marketing.
