Pinterest announced its new measurement options: Oracle Data Cloud’s Moat to analyze viewability, and NinthDecimal to track foot traffic.

Ads need to be relevant and actionable to drive results. Pinterest and NinthDecimal have already analyzed billions of ad impressions across verticals like retail, auto, entertainment, quick-serve restaurants, and consumer packaged goods. These results prove Pinterest’s impact: 93% of campaigns studied drove a positive lift in foot traffic.
Viewability typically translates to better results for advertisers, and we’re excited to partner with Moat to help marketers see the impact of a visual-first platform. We’ve rolled Moat solutions out for standard Promoted Pins, and we’re now starting a test on our Promoted Video ad formats.
In addition to the incremental lift, Pinterest is also driving new customer growth. In our studies, brands showed high rates of new customer growth: 51-69% of people visiting a brand’s store were new customers.
These new partnerships enable brands to personalize and compute customer interaction and maximize the value of digital marketing.
