The visually focused social network that specialises in pinning inspirational content claims more than 400 million monthly users across its international platform.

In the battle of the social networks, which model is most successful in terms of user numbers, engagement and reach? Within an ultra-competitive context, Pinterest has recorded a growing popularity with younger generations, referred to by marketing experts as Millennials and generation Z. These generations correspond to users aged 25 to 44 for Millennials, while generation Z consists of the young users aged 18-24 who have been using computers and smartphones from the youngest age.
