Dana Bahr is a Pinterest marketing strategist, creator of the VEIL Method, and host of The Unapologetic Pinner — bringing practical, systems-based organic growth strategy to wedding industry events, creative entrepreneur conferences, and service-based business communities. Her sessions are built for audiences who are done with vague marketing advice and ready to understand how organic visibility actually works, specifically through Pinterest as a long-game lead engine. She speaks to:
Your audience will leave with a system, not just inspiration.
Wedding Industry Professionals: photographers, planners, florists, venues, stationers, and creative service providers who want sustainable lead generation beyond word-of-mouth and Instagram.
Service-Based Business Owners: online service providers and creative entrepreneurs who want evergreen visibility without building their lives around a content calendar.
Marketing-Focused Communities: podcast audiences, mastermind groups, and conference rooms where the conversation is about growth strategy, not just tactics
Dana can customize any of these for your audience and event format. All sessions are available as keynotes, breakout sessions, workshops, or podcast interviews.
Most marketing advice tells you to create more content. This session reframes the question entirely — it's not about volume, it's about architecture. Your audience will walk away understanding the VEIL Method (Visibility, Evergreen, Intentional, Leads) — Dana's proprietary framework for building a Pinterest-led growth system that generates traffic and inquiries between the busy seasons, not just because of them.
Keynote or breakout (45–60 min) · Workshop (90 min)
Best for: Wedding industry conferences, creative entrepreneur summits, marketing-focused events
The VEIL Method: A Framework for Organic Visibility That Actually Compounds
Instagram content expires in 48 hours. Pinterest content compounds for years. This session shows service-based business owners exactly how to stop recreating the wheel every week and build a visibility system that works in the background — whether they're in their busy season, on vacation, or simply not online.
Keynote or breakout (45 min) · Workshop (60–90 min with implementation time)
Best for: Creative entrepreneur conferences, service-based business communities
Stop Rebuilding Attention From Scratch: The Pinterest Evergreen Strategy for Service Businesses
AI tools are changing how content gets created but most business owners are using them to create more content faster, which misses the point entirely. This session shows how to use AI strategically to build a Pinterest system that generates leads consistently without adding hours to your week.
Breakout session (45–60 min) · Virtual workshop
Best for: Marketing conferences, tech-forward creative communities, business efficiency-focused events
AI + Pinterest: How to Use AI Tools to Build an Organic Growth System You Can Actually Sustain
Designed specifically for wedding industry audiences, this session addresses the feast-or-famine visibility cycle that most wedding photographers, planners, and florists know well and shows exactly how Pinterest solves it. Unlike Instagram, Pinterest keeps working during the slow season, the crunch periods, and the content droughts because it runs on structure, not your schedule.
Keynote or breakout (45 min) · Workshop (90 min)
Best for: Wedding industry conferences (The Wedding Summit Series, Rising Tide Society events, WIPA), bridal association events

Ready to book?
For conference keynotes and workshops, 4–8 weeks minimum is ideal — more if your event has a formal speaker application process. Podcast interviews can usually move faster. If your event is coming up soon, reach out anyway.
How far in advance do you typically book?
The session itself, a tailored slide deck, and follow-up resources for attendees where applicable. For podcast interviews, Dana comes prepared with specific talking points and is happy to join a pre-show call if that's part of your process. No rigid scripts — the goal is a session that actually serves your audience, not a packaged performance.
What's included when we book a session?
Mostly context and lead time. The more you can share about your audience — who they are, how familiar they are with Pinterest, what marketing conversations you've already been having — the more specifically the session gets built for them. Dana handles slides, materials, and prep on her end. A brief pre-event call is helpful but not required for shorter sessions.
What do you need from us to prepare?
Both. Virtual sessions work well for summits, online conferences, and membership communities. In-person is available for conferences, retreats, and workshops. Just select your format in the inquiry form.
Do you present virtually as well as in person?
Yes — the four signature topics are starting points, not locked-in scripts. If your audience is primarily photographers, the examples and case studies shift to reflect that. If your event theme centers on systems, slow-season strategy, or sustainable growth, the session gets built around that angle. When you fill out the inquiry form, include a brief description of your audience and what you want them to leave with — that's where the customization starts.
Can you customize a topic for our specific audience or event theme?

Dana brought an incredible level of expertise and energy to both conversations! Pinterest was a topic we hadn't explored much before, and she provided valuable insights and actionable takeaways for our audience.
She is knowledgeable, engaging, and a true expert in her field. Dana is always welcome back on the podcast, and I look forward to collaborating with her again in the future!
Vanessa Grace
I loved working with Dana! She was a guest on my podcast, Why We Started. I got to learn all about her story and why she started her business. And it’s impressive how knowledgeable she is about Pinterest. As a social media manager, I understand the importance of being present online via social media but didn’t know how much Pinterest can have a huge impact on your business. She breaks it down so easily.

Dana came and spoke to our wedding planner networking group about Pinterest marketing and we learned SO much. She is so knowledgeable about the wedding industry, Pinterest and how to leverage it for your business, and is so fun to learn from!
