A media planner is reviewing the results of a Pinterest traffic campaign for an e-commerce electronics retailer. After running for 30 days, the campaign has generated high impressions but low click through rate (CTR) and engagement. The client is concerned that the ads are not reaching the right audience. Which two actions can the media planner take to optimize this campaign?

 

• Adjust the ad creative by testing new formats, such as Carousel ads or Video Pins, to increase engagement and attention.
• Focus on increasing conversions rather than clicks, assuming that generating more traffic will automatically lead to higher conversions.
• Analyze the audience targeting and adjust it to better align with the ideal customer profile.
• Increase the daily budget to drive more impressions and reach a broader audience.

 

 

A brand’s campaign on Pinterest has struggled to spend since its launch. Day-over-day pacing shows that the campaign is not meeting the daily cap of $10,000 per day and ads have shown that its targeting is too narrow. With only two days left in its flight, the advertising team notices that almost $50,000 remains in the budget. What is an immediate step the media planner can take to make sure the campaign spends in full?

 

• Create a new ad group with the remaining budget and launch carousel ads.
• Change the campaign spend to Pinterest Performance+ lifetime budget.
• Pause underperforming ads and ensure the daily spend has increased to $25,000 per day.
• Duplicate the campaign to push it back to learning mode.

 

 

A luxury brand is testing its first-party audience against interest-based targeting on Pinterest, using the same video creative for each. Mid-flight, it notices that both approaches are beating benchmarks, but the Interest-based ad group isn’t scaling. Which action should the media planner take based on these findings?

 

• Pause the Interest ad group and allocate all remaining budget to the other.
• Test additional interests in the Interest ad group
• Continue using a mix of targeting tactics.
• Introduce additional creatives.

 

 

A new online meal delivery client is reviewing its Pinterest campaign’s audience engagement. The client is midway through a new campaign featuring a 50/50 split of standard static ads and short-form videos of 15 seconds. The KPIs are new subscriptions, recipe saves, and video completion rate (VCR). How should a media planner advise the client on how to optimize the second half of its campaign?

 

• Evaluate impressions and reach metrics to gauge overall visibility and recommend the format that is driving the most brand awareness.
• Look into the demographic breakdown of engaged users to refine targeting parameters in order to prioritize the hand-raisers of the new brand’s product.
• Examine video completion rates to identify which video(s) resonated most with users, then recommend adding a 6-second cutdown version(s).
• Analyze which ad format drove the highest new subscriptions and recipe saves to optimize rotation so the campaign can prioritize the better-performing ad format.

 

 

A media planner is testing whether influencer- or brand-produced creatives perform better. Both 6-second and 15-second video ads were used. Delivery was consistent, but the 15-second version had a lower video completion rate (VCR) and higher cost per completed view (CPCV). What change could enable a cleaner evaluation of creative messaging effectiveness in future campaigns?

 

• Use video creatives of the same length.
• Add in static creatives in addition to videos.
• Expand targeting for the lower performer.
• Separate the creatives by campaign

 

 

A jewelry brand wants to conduct a Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) study with a third-party measurement vendor and wants to ensure that paid and earned impression data on Pinterest is appropriately captured within the MMM. What is the first approach the media planner should recommend for accessing this data?

 

• Check to see if the 3P is integrated with the Pinterest MMM API and can pull data directly.
• Export the metrics from the reporting dashboard in Ads Manager.
• Ask the agency to pull the data itself and share it
• Generate a report in Business Manager.
