Unlock Your Pinterest Marketing Potential with the New Performance Essentials Badge from Pinterest Academy

Now, you can earn and proudly display your “Performance Essentials” achievement badge, which is awarded to those who successfully complete the latest course offered by the Pin Academy educational platform.

According to Pinterest:

“Starting today, you can be among the first individuals to earn the Pinterest Performance Essentials skills badge on Pinterest Academy, our complimentary learning platform. To achieve this badge, you must complete a series of ten courses focused on performance enhancement, where you’ll discover strategies to optimize your lower-funnel campaign results, increase conversions, and attain success on Pinterest. By the course’s conclusion, you’ll acquire all the essential knowledge to make your advertisements stand out, reach a wider audience, and utilize your budget more effectively.”

The Performance Essentials badge is the latest feature added to Pinterest’s educational offerings, which received a significant overhaul in 2023 to improve user engagement and learning outcomes. 

Pinterest Academy now provides a comprehensive array of courses designed to enhance your understanding of the platform and maximize the effectiveness of your Pin ads, ensuring that you can navigate the advertising landscape with confidence.

Moreover, users have the opportunity to earn one of three prestigious accreditation badges: “Advertising Essentials,” “Media Buyer Certification,” and now “Performance Essentials.” These badges serve as a testament to your expertise in Pinterest advertising strategies and can be used to enhance your professional profile.

Acquiring these badges is quite accessible. Pinterest’s structured courses include detailed step-by-step instructions followed by multiple-choice quizzes, allowing you to demonstrate your comprehension and mastery of the material effectively.

Additionally, if you have previously completed the Pinterest Advertising Essentials course, you’ll be able to expedite your progress through this updated offering, making it an efficient way to further your advertising education.

This initiative not only provides a valuable opportunity to learn about the Pinterest platform but also allows you to showcase this knowledge effectively, adding another credential to your LinkedIn profile and enhancing your professional visibility.

Pinterest has announced that its new “Performance Essentials” skills badge is currently available to all users engaging with Pinterest Academy in English, with additional language support being rolled out soon to cater to a broader audience.
