How Creator Joanna Hawley (Jojotastic) built her brand on Pinterest using video

We’ve recently integrated with Pinterest and become an official Pinterest Partner, allowing you to share videos made in Clipchamp to your Pinterest Business account in an instant. Now that the integration is live, we sat down with a top Pinterest creator and get their thoughts on why video on Pinterest is so important.

MEET THE CREATOR

Joanna Hawley (@Jojotastic)

Meet Joanna Hawley, otherwise known as Jojotastic; a top Pinterest creator and lifestyle blogger who attracts over 15 million views on Pinterest per month. Known for her interior styling know-how and most recently, her journey renovating an old cabin, her audience has adored the real, raw, and unfiltered approach she takes to showcasing the good, the bad, and everything in between.

“Video is a great way to show more personality. People don’t always know who's creating the content they view, so if I show my face and my personality, my hope is that they have more of a connection with me” the creator said.

WHY PINTEREST?

For Joanna, being on Pinterest is a no-brainer. It’s a space to categorize and catalog inspiration for all elements of her life and document her journey along the way.    “From a business and content creation standpoint, Pinterest is my number one platform; it always has been, and probably always will be. I am such a visual person so Pinterest immediately felt like the ultimate tool for me. “I used to be the friend that would find a magazine clipping and mail it to a friend. Now it’s just so much easier for me to basically do that, but with a much wider audience that trusts my aesthetic."

WHY VIDEO?

The stats speak for themselves! Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch a video, compared to 10% when reading the same message in text.

“Video is so much more eye-catching than a static image in a feed. Your eye automatically goes to movement on a page, which then automatically translates to more views.”

In 2016, as the internet went video-centric, Pinterest introduced a video feature to its previously static platform. Pinners embraced video Pins – a fun, content-rich feature that couldn’t be replicated offline. In fact, video Pins views grew six-fold between 2018 and 2019, and saw a 240 percent increase in video views year over year in 2020.

Now, video Pins are a favorite of creators and businesses alike. For businesses on Pinterest in particular, video offers major opportunities to convert. 85% of weekly US Pinners have made a purchase based on Pins from brands.

When asked to share her top tips on creating engaging Pinterest content, she agreed to create 10 Pinterest optimized templates to help small businesses get started with video and grow their audience.

“The use of a template automatically removes a barrier of complication for me. It also gives me inspiration for other ways to present my content whilst also ensuring I remain on-brand. I can then focus on trimming and cutting my content and getting it live quicker than ever.”
