As part of the application for Pinterest’s Creative Strategist role, I developed a concept‑driven creative strategy RFP, pitching Pinterest’s capabilities as a performance marketing platform to Apple.
Creative Strategy, Art direction, Storytelling, Performance MarketingObjective: Make the case for a year-long Pinterest × Apple partnership that drives consideration and purchase through intent-led moments.

Prove why Pinterest uniquely drives consideration and purchase beyond what other platforms deliver.
