A six-week Pinterest externship investigating how Gen Z uses the platform, centered on survey-based research and an evidence-backed insight for advertiser-facing storytelling.
The externship investigated Gen Z behavior on Pinterest through a Jobs-to-be-Done framed survey and analysis. The project involved designing and deploying a survey to at least 30 Gen Z respondents and synthesizing responses into a single advertiser-ready insight. Deliverables included a written insight and an advertiser pitch presented on video.
I designed a Jobs-to-be-Done survey, recruited and surveyed Gen Z participants, analyzed responses for patterns, and packaged a single evidence-backed insight into an advertiser-facing pitch.
