Verified accounts on Pinterest
Pinterest : We want people to find the content that they’re expecting to find on Pinterest, which is why there are checkmarks next to certain notable names like celebrities, brands or media.

For other tips on how to build your brand and get discovered on Pinterest (hint: add the Save button to your website), check out business.pinterest.com.
