The externship analyzed Gen Z behavior on Pinterest through primary research and Jobs-to-be-Done survey design.

Deliverables included a research-backed insight and a recorded pitch.

What I've accomplished

Project breakdown

I framed research on how Gen Z turns Pinterest inspiration into action, drafted a 7-question survey with mixed question types, used AI to improve clarity and follow-ups, and published the final Google Form as the deliverable.

Google Forms

Access

The project targeted Gen Z Pinterest users, I built and launched an Instagram ManyChat chatbot to send outreach DMs, tested trigger logic, and collected the first wave of automated responses for analysis.

Open Link

I collected and analyzed 20 responses, ran descriptive stats and coded open answers, then synthesized findings into one insight: Gen Z users explore casually and only act when Pins feel easy or beginner friendly, supported by survey quotes and percentages.
