Last week in Sydney, Australia, we welcomed more than 100 of the country’s leading marketers to our fourth annual Pinterest Leadership Forum, an event that brings together brand and agency leaders to exchange ideas, explore shifts in consumer behaviour and imagine what’s next for the industry. The evening felt like stepping into a Pinterest board, with every corner designed for discovery: from a champagne tower and caviar bar to roaming oyster shucking and a martini masterclass. Beyond the celebration, it was a powerful reminder of the value of connecting, communicating and enjoying time together IRL. We also explored an important consumer tension during our “Design the Exit” panel: are brands designed to keep people scrolling, or to help them actually live? Our VP of GTM & Innovation, Chloe Wix, joined Joanna Robinson, CMO at THE ICONIC, and Adam Ferrier, Founder of Thinkerbell, to discuss how people are moving beyond passive scrolling and looking for digital experiences that help them discover what they need, log off and go do it. For brands, this creates a powerful opportunity: to move beyond filling the feed and start fueling a life. Because the most meaningful part of inspiration is what happens next - when people save the idea, make it their own and bring it to life. Thank you to our global leaders Lee Brown, Damian Kim (金敬烈), Chloe Wix, Melinda Petrunoff and all of our partners who joined us for such a memorable evening. Here’s to helping people move from inspiration to action and from the screen to the moments that matter.

The global marketing event of the year just wrapped, and it came with news worth sharing! 🗞️ This week, at our annual Pinterest Presents event for advertisers, we announced Visual Search Ads: a new way for brands to show up as people search, compare and move closer to a decision. It pairs the actionability of performance advertising with Pinterest’s visual-first experience, helping brands connect with consumers right at the moment of decision. We also shared new ways to give performance marketers more control and efficiency, including Pinterest Performance+ Priority Products, self-serve A/B testing and a dedicated App Promotion objective built for mobile growth. Thank you to our inspiring partners and our teams at Pinterest for making these innovations possible.

Today, we announced that Pinterest has built a new foundation for multimodal AI with NVIDIA. Powered by the NVIDIA accelerated computing platform with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, NVIDIA Dynamo, and Pinterest’s own visual embeddings, this foundation will support a growing range of products that rely on both images and language, including visual search, content understanding, and safety systems. As a result of this new AI layer with NVIDIA, Pinterest is turning 80 billion+ monthly searches into high-value signals for AI-powered discovery and shopping, enabling Pinterest Assistant to run 25x more visual context per request. “Our collaboration with NVIDIA helps us deliver faster, smarter and more personalized experiences for the hundreds of millions of people who use Pinterest,” said Kartik Paramasivam, Chief Architect at Pinterest.

Young people come to Pinterest for inspiration and to explore their own identities. We take the responsibility to give teens a safer, more positive experience online seriously at Pinterest. Today, Bill Ready, our CEO, commends Governor Gavin Newsom for signing SB 1119, Adam’s Law. More from Bill: “Teens deserve technology that supports their wellbeing — not technology that puts it at risk. As AI companion chatbots get built into the platforms they use every day, companies need clear guardrails and real accountability. Adam’s Law is a smart step, and I commend Governor Newsom for signing it.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/evKQwHAT

Men, especially Gen Z men, are reshaping how they spend their time on and off Pinterest – reimagining their daily lives around what actually matters to them. Our 2026 Men’s Trend Report details the shift in how men are using Pinterest to find inspiration for offline hobbies. Among them is three-time NBA Champion, Dwyane Wade, who shares the importance of investing in your emotional wellbeing and taking time to unplug, get outside and make meaningful connections. "That’s why I love what men are building on Pinterest: it’s about real life, real community and taking care of yourself, not just living for whatever’s on your screen."

Last Friday, we launched our Pinterest Positive Internet Corner initiative in Singapore. The fundamental question we wanted to address was: What does a more positive Internet look like for Gen Z? Our research found that Gen Z are very mindful about the way they use technology, increasingly aware of the impact it can have on their wellbeing, and deliberate about the value they seek from the internet. They're looking for digital experiences that help them learn, explore, become inspired, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence. Almost 80% of Gen Z want technology platforms that help them discover their own personal taste, not simply feed them what is most popular right now. We were honoured to host the Minister of State, Rahayu Mahzam, Ministry of Digital Development and Information, alongside National Youth Council Singapore’s Tan Lin Teck, Happiness Initiative’s Sherman Ho, and actress and designer Shi-An Lim. The panel explored what young people want from the internet, as well as how platforms, policymakers and communities can create more positive digital experiences together. The launch brought more than 50 youth, government and industry stakeholders, community partners and media to explore what a more positive and intentional internet could look like for Singapore’s youth.
