Welcome to the Connected Church News!
This news item is part of the weekly top 5 news bulletin (from Week 3, Jun 2023) specially packaged for leaders of Nonprofits, Churches, and Faith-based Social Ventures.

Pinterest released two ad formats last week. One is called Travel Catalogs and the other is Premier Spotlight. Premier Spotlight has been around for a while now. They’ve been testing it, but now they’re rolled out to a wider audience. And this is an ad format that occupies bigger real estate in the mobile app of Pinterest. And here there is also a big call to action button right below your video or your image. Or whatever is a type of ad you release, even a carousel.. And this could be useful if you are coming up with an event and if you really want to be occupying a premier position in the ad space that Pinterest provides in front of your audience. The other product is travel catalogs, and if you’re a nonprofit that focuses on the travel industry, then this might be useful for you because you can upload all your catalog and Pinterest will create adynamic ad set for you.
