Pinterest Launches New Video Content Approach via Partnership with The Louvre

TLDR
  • Pinterest has announced a new activation, in partnership with The Louvre, which will enable users to experience the historic art gallery via video elements within the app.

Brief

The new initiative is designed to expand Pinterest’s original programming, and make it more of a destination for entertainment, along with shopping - though shopping remains the app’s key focus, with Pinterest noting that it’s also looking to boost its live-streaming credentials. Live-streaming has become like the Holy Grail of eCommerce, with every platform with an interest in in-app selling now looking to integrate live-stream shopping, and follow the trends popularized in Asian markets. It makes sense, and if live-stream shopping does catch on, Pinterest, most definitely, will want to ensure that it stays in touch.
