Evan Sharp, Co-Founder, Chief Design and Creative Officer, Pinterest, said, “We believe the best inspiration comes from people who are fuelled by their passions and want to bring positivity and creativity into the world. From creators to hobbyists to publishers, Pinterest is a place where anyone can publish great ideas and discover inspiring content. With Idea Pins, creators are empowered to share their passions and inspire and grow their audiences. By helping people on Pinterest spark creativity, try new things, build confidence, and be themselves, we believe creators are truly helping with our mission of bringing inspiration to create a life you love.”

To support creators, find an audience, Pinterest is introducing new ways for ‘Pinners’ to discover Idea Pins. All users in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland will see Idea Pins from creators they follow right at the top of their home feed. These following streams give Pinners a new way to see fresh content from creators they follow and discover new creators to engage with.

The company says Idea Pins are an evolution of Story Pins, with a fresh name to better match the uniqueness of a product that empowers creators to share long-lasting ideas and not ephemeral stories. The next step for them is to make Idea Pins more shoppable, which it’s doing now with tests of product tagging underway.
