Pinterest launches international shopping tools
Pinterest has expanded its shopping features to simplify international e-commerce for merchants. New capabilities include country- and language-specific product feeds that let retailers localize prices, currencies, titles and descriptions without duplicating catalogs; an "Automatic Localization" feature that translates product titles/descriptions and converts prices into local currencies; cross-country shopping campaigns that allow a single ad group to target multiple markets; and a new "Markets" view in Catalogs that centralizes market-level metrics and lets merchants add markets and enable translations and currency conversion. The rollout aims to reduce catalog maintenance and streamline cross-border campaign management; real-world effectiveness will depend on the quality of automatic translations and localizations.

Pinterest AI Converts Beauty Pins into Action Plans
Pinterest unveiled 'Beauty Guides,' an AI-powered feature that converts beauty-related Pins (e.g., hair and nail inspiration) into actionable plans for salon visits. Using its visual intelligence and generative AI (Pinterest Intelligence), the feature translates user images into professional salon terminology like 'balayage,' 'root melt,' and 'almond nails.' Users tapping 'Get the Guide' receive details on what to ask for, estimated time, price ranges, and maintenance requirements. At launch, it works across hairstyle, color, nail shape, and finish Pins. This represents a practical, consumer-facing application of AI, bridging inspiration with actionable steps.
Albertsons Retail Media Head Departs
Brian Monahan has left Albertsons Media Collective, the grocery chain's retail media network, after just over a year as senior vice president. The unit will now report to CMO Emily Turner, who in turn reports to EVP and Chief Merchandising Officer Michelle Larson. An Albertsons spokesperson confirmed the departure, noting that business partners were informed. Monahan, who joined from Dentsu where he led retail media solutions, and previously led retail vertical strategy at Pinterest, was unexpectedly scheduled to speak at industry events that week. Under his leadership, Albertsons launched an incremental multi-touch attribution measurement solution and a scripted branded entertainment offering. Agency executives suggest the move reflects slower-than-expected growth of the network, though client ad spend is not expected to be affected. Albertsons' digital sales grew 13% in Q1 fiscal 2026, but identical sales declined 0.8%. The company did not disclose if the position will be filled.
