When I first learned about Work Play Branding, I instantly loved their business model, but what made me fall in love with them even more is how they are creatively using Pinterest as a collaborative tool with their clients. To surface the clients' ideals in photos and pictures, to be able to support their photographers and designers to give the clients exactly what they are looking for. We’re going to dive into an interview with their founder and CEO Lyrik Fryer.

An interview with the mastermind behind Pinterest Predicts 2026 Jan 06, 2026

Show notes

Pinterest Predicts 2026 is here, and the list of 21 predictions is amazing! But who created this list? How did they come up with the ideas? What data were pulled in, and how did they interpret that data? I wanted to speak with the creator, leader, and mastermind behind this massive research project. Sydney Stanback joins me on this podcast to talk about how this report came to be and what she has learned from being part of the development of Pinterest Predicts for 6 years. This was a fun conversation. I know you’ll love it.
