“Pinterest is a unique and valuable platform for businesses to connect with audiences who are asking for inspiration from trusted brands, now more than ever. I’ve been especially impressed by how ads fit into what people are already doing on Pinterest as they plan projects, discover ideas and browse before they take action on what to buy.  Ads on Pinterest stand out because they fit in, and I’m looking forward to joining the team to help even more businesses reach and engage with the inspired audience on Pinterest.” – Milka Kramer
