Pinterest vs. Instagram – which is the best platform for marketing?

At FeedMagnet, we have the pleasure of working with some of the best social marketers in the world - across B2B and B2C brands - implementing social marketing campaigns. And while the brands and their social marketing programs vary widely, the social platforms themselves are perhaps even more distinctly different.

Take the two hottest visual social platforms right now: Instagram and Pinterest. Both are about personal expression and sharing with friends, yet they are completely different in the way they accomplish those goals. Instagram is about sharing a snapshot of what's happening in your world right now and Pinterest is about organizing and sharing the things you love.

Social marketing is about the people

Consumer trust of big companies and brands is on the decline. As it turns out, the biggest adversary of traditional advertising is not ad-skipping tools like the DVR, but rather consumers simply tuning out most of the messages they hear, saying "meh – I don't buy it."

At the same time, social media has changed the dynamics of communication in general. A few lone voices broadcasting to the many – whether it be news, entertainment, or marketing – is no longer the norm.

Pinterest for Brands: Now Available

Pinterest has become one of the most-requested social sources from the marketers and brands we work with. Up till now we have been unable to work with Pinterest content since there is no public API.

That all just changed.
