If you’re a Pinterest influencer based in the United States looking to tap into the vibrant Brazilian market, this guide’s for you. Cross-border brand collaboration isn’t new, but nailing it between the US and Brazil on Pinterest? That’s a niche goldmine with some unique twists.
As of May 2025, Pinterest remains a powerhouse for inspiration-driven shopping and lifestyle content, making it a sweet spot for influencers who want to team up with brands beyond their borders. Brazil, with its growing e-commerce scene and passionate social media users, is prime territory for US creators to partner with local brands and scale their influence — if you know how to play the game.
Let’s break down how Pinterest influencers in the US can effectively collaborate with brands in Brazil, covering everything from social platform nuances and payment methods to legal and cultural factors you need to watch out for.
📢 Why Pinterest and Why Brazil
Pinterest isn’t just about pretty pics; it’s a discovery engine where users actively seek products and ideas. In the US, Pinterest influencers are often lifestyle, fashion, home decor, or DIY content creators. Brands love that the platform drives high-intent traffic.
Brazil’s Pinterest community has exploded in recent years, with more users turning to the platform for shopping inspiration. The Brazilian market is hungry for authentic content and foreign influencers who can bring fresh ideas. Brazilian brands, especially in fashion, beauty, and home goods, are actively looking for US influencers to collaborate with and expand their reach.
💡 How US Pinterest Influencers Can Approach Brazilian Brands
1. Understand the Brazilian Market and Audience
Brazilian culture is vibrant and unique. When pitching to brands, show you get their market — from local holidays like Carnaval to favored aesthetics and trends. Brands want influencers who can create content that resonates locally, not just repurpose what works in the US.
For example, US influencers like @JessieSmithHome, who specializes in boho-chic home decor, could partner with Brazilian brand Tok&Stok, a leader in stylish furniture and decor, by creating pins tailored to Brazilian tastes and styles.
2. Use the Right Communication Channels
While email is standard in the US, many Brazilian brands also prefer WhatsApp for quick chats and negotiations. Be flexible and ready to adapt to their preferred communication style.
Platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram DMs are also useful for initial outreach. Brazilian brands often scout influencers on Instagram and then move to WhatsApp or email for details.
3. Negotiate Payment in USD or BRL
Payment is a critical part of cross-border collaborations. US influencers usually expect payment in USD. Brazilian brands might prefer paying in Brazilian Real (BRL) or even use PayPal, Wise, or direct bank transfers.
Make sure to clarify upfront whether the payment will cover currency conversion fees and taxes. Using platforms like Payoneer or Wise can simplify international payments and reduce fees, making the process smoother for both parties.
4. Keep Legal and Tax Implications in Check
Cross-border deals come with legal hoops. US influencers should understand that income from Brazilian brands may be subject to US tax reporting and potentially Brazilian taxes.
It’s smart to consult with a tax advisor experienced in international income. Also, review contracts carefully — Brazilian law can differ significantly from US law, especially regarding intellectual property and content usage rights.
5. Tailor Content for Pinterest’s Algorithm and Brazilian Trends
Brazilian Pinterest users might engage differently than US users. Use localized keywords, hashtags, and trending topics relevant to Brazil.
Pinterest SEO is real — pin descriptions and boards should be optimized for Brazilian Portuguese keywords if you want to go deep. If you’re not fluent, collaborating with a local content strategist or translator can boost your reach.
