SocialMinds - A Social Media Marketing Podcast

2025 was the year of sardine tees, filthy martinis and red leather – but we already knew that thanks to Pinterest Predicts' trend forecasts for Fisherman Aesthetic, Pickle Fix, and Cherry Coded. For 2026, Wilderkind, Poetcore, and FunHaus are among the many trend predictions our favourite visual discovery engine has in store for us this year. To tell us about how brands, marketers and creators can all leverage this year's biggest vibes, we're joined once again by Pinterest's Director of Marketing, Louise Foley. Expect to discover why your audience is turning to imaginative escapism, why trends are growing 4.4x faster than seven years ago, and the difference between a shoppable and a successful trend.

Recorded in front of a live audience at SocialMinds Live 2025, we go behind the scenes of Primark's bold social-first strategy with Primark's Kymberley Thomson in this raw, unfiltered conversation between client and creative. From concept to execution, we lift the lid on the work and the wins that put community at the heart of the brand, and how collective creativity turned one of fashion's biggest names into a cultural conversation starter.  Get in touch at [email protected].
