A paid partnership is a relationship in which a creator creates content with a brand that they have a material connection with in order to promote the brand or its products. These partnerships are already established by the creator and brand outside of Pinterest.

Creators tag a brand or company they have a partnership with in a Pin and the paid partnership label will appear automatically when the Pin is published. Brands will need to approve the tag in order for their name to appear with the paid partnership label on a Pin.

Once a creator tags a brand, a paid partnership label will appear on the Pin but the brand’s name will not be included. If your brand approves the partnership, the name will be added to the paid partnership label. If your brand rejects the label, the paid partnership label will be removed from the Pin.

Approve a paid partnership

When a creator tags a brand to disclose a paid partnership, the brand will receive a notification on Pinterest.

Remove a paid partnership

A creator can remove a paid partnership tag at any time from their own Pin or a brand can remove a paid partnership tag at any time from a creator’s Pin. Once the tag has been removed, it cannot be added again.

Once a creator publishes a Pin with paid partnership, the brand partner can promote the Pin as an Idea ad with paid partnership. These ads will include the same label denoting a paid partnership between the creator and the business. 

If the paid partnership is removed from an idea ad, the ad will be set to Archive in Ads Manager. 

Creators cannot promote Pins themselves that include a paid partnership. Only brand partners can use Idea ads to promote these pins.

We recommend brands only promote Pins with music from our music library. All music is subject to licensing requirements regardless of how the music is added. See all other reasons why a Pin may not be promotable.
