"I built this business because I kept seeing brilliant entrepreneurs pour their hearts into content and then watch it disappear into the void. The problem was never the content. It was the absence of data."
Hi, I'm Dana. Before I ever thought about Pinterest, I spent 15 years as a Senior Policy Advisor for the Ontario Government. My job was to take massive, complex datasets (analytics, legislation, economic models) and turn them into clear, actionable strategy that real people could understand and act on. Not summarize. Not simplify. Actually use.
When I made the leap into entrepreneurship, I brought that same instinct with me. What I quickly discovered was that most business owners are working incredibly hard, creating content and showing up consistently, but flying completely blind, because no one had ever taught them how to read their own data. The analytics tell the whole story. Most people just don't know how to listen to them.
I found my way to Pinterest the same way many of my clients do: frustrated that my own content wasn't reaching anyone. A friend pointed me toward Meagan Williamson, the leading authority in the Pinterest marketing space and founder of Pin Potential. I first enrolled in her Pin Potential program expecting a quick fix, and what I found instead was a revelation: I fell completely in love with the analytics. I realized I had a rare ability to read platform data and translate it into strategy, and that this gift was far more valuable to other business owners than it would ever be for my own account alone. It was then that I enrolled in Meagan's Pinterest Virtual Assistant Accelerator program.
That course transformed me from a casual Pinterest user into a full-time Pinterest Strategist. And now I get to spend my days doing the thing I'm genuinely built for: turning complex data into honest, actionable growth strategies for business owners who have better things to do than decode their own analytics.

The values that guide
every client relationship
Data over guessing, always.
Every strategy decision I make is grounded in data. I don't pin and pray. I analyze, iterate, and optimize based on what the numbers actually say.
Your business deserves its own strategy.
I don't do cookie-cutter. Every client gets a strategy built specifically for their niche, their audience, and their goals, not a template with their name dropped in.
Transparency is non-negotiable.
You will always know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and what the results mean for your business. No mystery, no jargon. Just clear communication and clear data.
Long-term growth over quick wins.
Pinterest and Threads are long games. I build strategies for sustainable, compounding growth, not vanity metrics that spike once and disappear.
Sound familiar?
You're doing all the things, but the needle isn't moving.
You tried Tailwind and never saw an increase in traffic.
You don't have the bandwidth to add Threads & Pinterest to your plate.
You had a Pinterest manager before but never saw real results.
Here's what makes the difference.
Analytics-First Approach
Every month you get a plain-English breakdown of what the data actually says — what's working, what's not, and the exact moves we're making next. No vanity metrics. Just decisions you can act on.
Pinterest + Threads Together
Pinterest drives evergreen, search-based traffic that compounds for months. Threads builds real-time authority daily. Together they create a full-funnel traffic engine — and almost no one is doing both well.
Truly Done For You
You don't write a single caption or design a single pin. I handle the strategy, content, SEO, scheduling, and clear monthly reports. You stay in your zone of genius — fully informed, completely out of the weeds.
