More information on their site.

2. PROMOTED PINS Currently testing and will work in a similar way to other social networks.

3. YOUR KNOWLEDGE SOCIAL MEDIA IS PEER-TO-PEER AND ONLY REALLY SUCCESSFUL WHEN PEOPLE SHARE.

4. VALUES AND CSR Boards can reflect what matters to your company.

Create a compelling board that demonstrates your CSR work and company values.
