A Quiz ad is an ad format with multiple choice questions and answers. When people interact with Quiz ads on Pinterest, they receive a result or recommendation from the advertiser based on their choices, which helps establish a personal connection to the brand or product.
Quiz ads are available on mobile devices only. Your Quiz ad will be visible to people on Pinterest as they browse, search and save Pins.
Quiz ads include three main parts:
Keep in mind that while your ad itself cannot be saved, results from your Quiz ad can be saved as Pins.
You can create the Pins featured in your Quiz ad before you set up your campaign, or you can create everything all at once through the ad creation flow in Ads Manager.
You’ll create one title Pin and up to three result Pins. You’ll add your questions and answers when you set up your Quiz ad in Ads Manager.
