A Pinterest externship researching Gen Z consumer behavior and producing an evidence-backed insight for advertiser-facing materials.
The project collected and analyzed survey responses from Gen Z users about how they use Pinterest, applying the Jobs-to-be-Done framework to identify recurring behaviors. The work synthesized qualitative and quantitative survey data into a single, advertiser-ready insight and a short pitch presentation.
I designed and ran a Jobs-to-be-Done survey with Gen Z respondents, analyzed the results, and packaged the findings into a concise insight for an advertiser-facing pitch.
