Overview

This externship investigated how Gen Z uses Pinterest by designing and running a Jobs-to-be-Done survey and analyzing responses from real users. The work synthesized qualitative and quantitative responses into an evidence-backed insight and packaged that insight into an advertiser-facing pitch and a recorded presentation.

What I've accomplished

I ran a six-week research project that included creating a JTBD survey, recruiting at least 30 Gen Z respondents, analyzing responses for patterns, and turning the strongest finding into a short advertiser pitch delivered on video.
