Adding a Pinterest widget to a creative

You can let viewers "pin" an image from your ad onto their Pinterest board. From the Pinterest/Pin it window, users can select from existing boards, or create a new board in their account.

Before you start

To add a Pinterest widget to a creative

  1. Navigate to the Division, Account, and Campaign of the creative.
  2. Click the Campaign Management tab, then click the Creatives tab.
  3. Click Edit for the creative. The Mixpo Studio opens.
  4. Add the widget to your creative:
    1. Select the canvas tab that you want to add the widget to.
    2. Click the Overlays tab, then click Widget.
    3. Click Our stock library.
    4. Select the Pinterest widget, then click Add media. The widget is added to your creative.
  5. Select the Pinterest widget. In the settings area, new widget options appear.
  6. In the Overlay name field, type a name for the widget. The name is displayed in reports about the widget.
  7. From the Button style drop-down list, select a color for the Pinterest button.
  8. In the URL field, type the web address associated with the image. From the user's Pinterest account, this is the web address associated with the pinned image.
  9. Click Add Image. Click Campaign media, then click Upload media to Library. Upload the image that you want your viewers to pin.
  10. Select the image, then click Add media.
  11. Type a Description for the image. The description is displayed as the default text in a viewer's Pinterest/Pin it window. The viewer can edit this description before pinning the image to their board.
  12. To change the size of the widget, click and drag the sizing handles on the corners of the widget.
    Note: To make sure that the live ad is optimized for mobile devices, the widget should be at least 44 × 44 pixels, so that it is big enough for viewers to tap. If you added the widget to the Timeline Canvas tab, leave at least 44 pixels between the widget and the bottom of the creative, so that viewers can tap the video player controls.
  13. If you added the widget to the Timeline Canvas tab, specify how you want the widget to appear in your video sequence. Do the following:
    1. ​From the Enter and Exit drop-down lists, select the entrance and exit animation effects.
    2. In the Duration field, type the number of seconds that you want the widget to appear for.
    3. In the Start time field, type the number of seconds into the video that you want the widget to appear.
    Tip: You can also drag the widget on the visual timeline to adjust the timing. For steps, see Adjusting the timing of video content using the visual timeline.
  14. Click Save.
  15. To test that the creative appears the way that you want it to, return to the Mixpo Platform and click Preview.
