When choosing the best platform for a client, social media marketers know that each has strengths depending on the audience, content style, ad opportunities, and engagement type.
In this blog, our white label social media team breaks down Pinterest, Instagram, and TikTok to help you pick the best platform for your client.
The Audience on Each Platform
Pinterest is a favorite among users who search for inspiration and solutions. Predominantly female, Pinterest’s audience skews towards lifestyle and DIY content, with popular niches in fashion, beauty, home décor, and travel.
Instagram boasts a diverse, global audience, with the largest group in the 18-34 age range. This platform appeals across demographics due to its visual format, catering to interests in fashion, food, fitness, and much more. Instagram also includes extensive influencer communities.
- TikTok
TikTok has captivated Gen Z and millennials with its addictive short-form videos. While young adults dominate, TikTok’s popularity is growing across older demographics as well. Its niches span education, entertainment, and advocacy.
Content Styles on Each Platform
As a visual search engine, Pinterest emphasises high-quality images, infographics, and vertical pins that attract user engagement. Educational or inspirational posts, such as tutorials, mood boards, and guides, perform well.
IG is all about polished photos, carousels, and Stories for a more personal connection. Reels have recently enabled more TikTok-like short-form content, but polished aesthetics remain the standard.
- TikTok
TikTok prioritizes raw, candid video content. The platform’s unique editing features, filters, and sound overlays encourage creativity, with trends like challenges, duets, and viral music usage allowing brands to build momentum.

Engagement Levels and Types on Each Platform
Engagement on Pinterest leans toward saves, clicks, and “repins”, as users often save content for later rather than interacting directly with brands. If your client values long-term brand exposure and evergreen content, Pinterest is an excellent platform for gradual engagement.
Engagement on Instagram is diverse, ranging from likes, comments, and shares on main feed posts to quick responses and interactions through Stories. Reels are also seeing high engagement rates, especially for brands aiming to reach new followers through the Explore page.
- TikTok
TikTok’s engagement is built around likes, comments, shares, and follows, but the app’s unique interaction features, like duets and stitches, create a highly interactive experience. This allows brands to engage with users creatively, especially if they’re ready to participate in trends and respond directly to user content.
