LinkedIn Adds Robust Analytics for Content Marketers

• LinkedIn users are interested in publishing content, and content marketing. They have some tools to help them, but, until now, there wasn’t a robust support system for their content. LinkedIn is now offering publishers on its platform a full suite of analytics.

Pinterest doubles down on making money, rolls out video ads

• Pinterest may be a popular service with an estimated 47.1 million monthly users, but profitable? Not so much.

• To help change that, the social network expanded its ad products on Tuesday by rolling out video ads called Cinematic Pins.

• Cinematic Pins work similarly to Pinterest’s current ad products, Promoted Pins, in that they’re formatted to blend in with other items in your home feed — except for the fact they're motion-based. Gap, L’Oreal, Target, Unilever, Visa, Walgreens and Wendy’s are among the first crop of paid advertisers.
