Pinterest - GenZ Consumer Behavior Externship

A Pinterest externship exploring how Gen Z uses the platform, focusing on collecting and analyzing survey data to surface unexpected user behaviors relevant to advertisers.

Consumer ResearchSurvey DesignAI for Data AnalysisPresentation Skills

Overview

The externship investigated Gen Z behaviors on Pinterest through a structured survey design and analysis process. The project used the Jobs-to-be-Done framework, collected responses from at least 30 Gen Z users, and synthesized findings into a single evidence-backed insight packaged for an advertiser-facing pitch. Deliverables included a written analysis and a recorded pitch.
