With the help of Cole+McVoy ad agency, Caribou Coffee used pinned images from fans to promote its new Real Inspiration Blend variety. The ginormous eye-catching Pinterest pin board was built and displayed at the [Mall of America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/backtoschool-shopping1) in Bloomington, Minneapolis.

The giant Pinterest board is extremely impressive. The board features two large screens with a collage of beautiful photos pinned by fans on Pinterest. The images mostly consist of Caribou Coffee cups, ceramic glasses and cute pictures of customers sipping on Caribou brews.
