The site however has had some difficulty, with plateauing growth figures for new users it has tried to turn around its fortunes recently by demoing a new look as well as making its first acquisition, a recipe website Punchfork.

For brands, Pinterest has proved unsure advertising ground. Unusually, pages with the most followers are run by individuals and not companies. Let’s have a look at some successful Pinterest profiles that have managed to stand out amongst the crowd…
