Fashion brand Odd Muse boosts Gen Z audience growth and conversions with strong content mix

Luxury brand Odd Muse (@oddmuselondon) may be about slow fashion, but their rise in popularity has been turbo charged. Founded in 2020, the Gen Z-owned retailer based in London reached viral status by introducing young women to sustainable investment fashion at an accessible price point. From the start, Pinterest played a valuable role in growing Odd Muse’s online presence. And the brand saw an opportunity to keep up the momentum, reaching and growing an audience of young women and building a community, by using Pinterest to its full potential.

The goal

Odd Muse knew that Gen Z is Pinterest’s fastest growing audience,² searching and saving more than other generations.³ Plus, they knew the main reason Gen Z uses Pinterest is to find information about products or brands.⁴ The retailer hoped that by bringing their products and lifestyle content to Pinterest, they could grow this crucial audience while also driving meaningful engagements and conversions.

The strategy

Odd Muse started by connecting their Shopify catalog to Pinterest. This automatically turned all of their items into product Pins, which include info like price, availability and a link to the product page for purchase. Connecting their Shopify feed also claimed the brand’s website on Pinterest and ensured that any new products would automatically be turned into Pins. Bringing their catalog to Pinterest gave Odd Muse an immediate influx of content that let people discover and shop their new favorite pieces all in one Pin.

Once their products were easily accessible, Odd Muse wanted to up their inspo game to give audiences more opportunities to discover the brand—and drive them back to their profile full of products. Odd Muse realized that while not all images from their photoshoots would make it onto their site, they could serve as added lifestyle content on Pinterest. In August 2024, the brand began uploading all content from their shoots to Pinterest to increase their content volume and add extra inspiration. They also added links to each Pin to help drive traffic back to their website. The following month, Odd Muse stepped up their lifestyle content even further by claiming their Instagram account and enabling auto-publish. This automatically turned their Instagram posts into Pins, and made sure that all future content would be cross-posted to Pinterest as well. 

With an ample supply of both product and lifestyle content, Odd Muse wanted to make their content as easy to find and sort through as possible. The brand curated their Pins into themed and seasonal boards, like “Pre Fall 24” and “Captured in Cannes,” to highlight collections, new releases, events, vibes and trending styles. This not only grouped similar content for easy access, but also added context that helped their Pins appear in searches across Pinterest.

The result

Odd Muse’s mix of product and inspiration into one strong presence helped the brand reach their ideal audience on Pinterest, providing both ideas for inspiration and opportunities to shop directly. From August 2024 to January 2025, Odd Muse grew their total audience by 32% and their engaged audience by 14%. Their top performing age group was 18-34, which included their target Gen Z audience. The brand also saw an increase in conversions, with a 158% increase in add to baskets driven by Pinterest, and a 7% increase in average order value.
