Pinterest Rolls Out Board Sharing for Cross-Platform Videos
Pinterest has introduced a feature called Board Sharing that lets users create and share videos of their boards on other social platforms. The process is inspired by user feedback: when a board is shared, a video is automatically generated and users can append the board link so others can explore the board on Pinterest. The share flow includes tapping the share icon, choosing to add to an Instagram Story, or downloading the video to post elsewhere; users can edit pins or choose templates as needed. Pinterest notes that Gen Z is the most engaged group and accounts for over 40% of monthly users, with Gen Z boards rising year over year. The company cites broad cross-platform visibility for brands and a cross-posting possibility via account linking. Pinterest reports global MAU of over 500 million and more than 10 billion boards created.

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.
