The Pinterest gold rush is in full effect. So far it’s been mostly companies in retail/e-commerce, fashion, food and design that have pretty successfully set up shop on the social image-sharing platform. Publishers aren’t about to be left out when it comes to the Next Really Big Thing.
Here are five publishers that have branched out onto Pinterest and are using the new hot platform to expand how they present their content. The five we have chosen take advantage of the visual nature of Pinterest and have well-organized and/or entertaining boards that showcase content they wouldn’t necessarily publish on their main publication websites. They also have seen some success in attracting consumer interactions, as measured by attracting followers.
