Plan your Aug + Sept content creation
Over the past few months, the world has moved at an unprecedented pace. Across Australia, people have been staying at home to stay safe. Due to the increased use of social media, they have become more globally connected. Recent events have put injustice and inclusivity top of mind. We want to express not only our solidarity but also our on-going commitment to taking action.
In addition to the uncertainty of the past months, people are trying to balance work, kids, hobbies and career pursuits. We look to our creator community to continue to create actionable content that helps make every day easier for Pinners.
Align your content creations with the categories below to give yourself the best chance to get featured in Australia’s Spotlight space (the curated carousel in Pinterest home feed). Check out our editorial best practices for all the latest tips.
