Plan your Aug + Sept content creation
Over the past few months, the world has moved at an unprecedented pace. Across Canada, people have been staying at home to stay safe. Due to the increased use of social media, they have become more globally connected. Recent events have put injustice and inclusivity top of mind. We want to express not only our solidarity but also our on-going commitment to taking action.
In addition to the uncertainty of the past months, people are trying to balance work, kids, hobbies and career pursuits. We look to our creator community to continue to create actionable content that helps make every day easier for Pinners.
We’ve recently launched a new space in the app, called the Today tab; the Today tab connects Pinners with the best ideas on Pinterest. As a creator of content, align what you publish on Pinterest with the below categories for your chance to get featured on the Today tab.

Listening and acting
Inclusivity is not a trend or a moment in time. We want to ensure we’re continuing to make an on-going effort to make Pinterest an inspirational place for everyone.

- Diverse beauty: Beauty is diverse and beauty is ageless. Create content that celebrates all hair types and skin colours.
Canada staycation

- Nature travel: Go climb a rock, soak in a hot spring, or hike through the woods — whatever comes naturally. Searches for nature travel +253%
