Pinterest Partners With Emma Chamberlain For its First Ever Co-Branded Product
Pinterest has launched its first-ever product collaboration, with the platform co-branding a new product from Chamberlain Coffee, the coffee company founded by influencer Emma Chamberlain.
Pinterest will co-brand a limited edition coffee mix, which will be promoted and sold within the app.
As explained by Pinterest:
'The limited-edition 'Sea Salt Toffee Flavored Blend' will be available for purchase on 17 June on Chamberlain Coffee's website in the U.K., United States, Canada, and Europe, as well as via Chamberlain Coffee's Pinterest profile.'
And more than just a branding opportunity, Pinterest says that the coffee itself was inspired by Pins:
'A long-time fan of Pinterest, Emma imagined the entire campaign and design on the platform. From exploring flavor profiles to gathering visual inspiration for the launch, each detail was hand-picked to capture the feeling of sipping an iced coffee by the seaside. The Fisherman Aesthetic trend from Pinterest Predicts, our annual emerging trends report, served as a core theme throughout the process.'
Indeed, 'Fisherman Aesthetic' was one of 20 rising trends, based on Pin engagement, that Pinterest identified earlier this year.
Pinterest says that the collaboration highlights how Pinterest's trend forecasting system can not only predict emerging trends, but also provide valuable insights 'to help brands plan and predict upcoming products.'
Which is an interesting point of note. Of course, this is a co-branded product, so Pinterest obviously had some say in the creative angling, and we don't have any insight into relative sales figures as yet.
But maybe, if it does turn out to be popular, that could point to Pinterest's trend predictions as a helpful indicator of likely consumer interest.
I mean, the influence of Chamberlain is also a factor here, but…
Pinterest says that users will be able to learn more about the product, and purchase the coffee, via a new Pinterest board created by Emma Chamberlain.
'The board features inspiration for the blend, behind-the-scenes content from the campaign photoshoot and shoppable Pins driving users to purchase the blend, as well as a limited-edition merch collection.'
It's another sign of big brands leaning into influencer marketing, and aligning with high-profile creators to promote their products.
A recent report from Statista estimates that the global influencer marketing industry will grow 36% this year, and with YouTubers like MrBeast crossing into mainstream consciousness, it does seem like we're entering a new phase of the creator economy, where web-originated celebrity is on par with film and TV fame.
Even the platforms themselves are tapping into this, and it'll be interesting to see if Pinterest looks to further product collabs like this in future.

Crypto-linked stocks advance after Trump signs stablecoin law
(Reuters) -Shares of crypto-linked companies jumped on Monday, as ether prices advanced after President Donald Trump signed into law a bill regulating stablecoins in the U.S. Trump signed the GENIUS Act late on Friday, marking a huge win for crypto supporters, who have for long lobbied for a regulatory framework to gain greater legitimacy for the industry. The bill was passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 308 to 122, with support from nearly half the Democratic members and most Republicans. It had earlier been approved by the Senate. Bitcoin, the world's biggest crypotcurrency, climbed about 1% on Monday, though it remains more than 3% away from its all-time high of $123,153 hit last week. The bill bans yields or interest payments on regulated stablecoins, which Deutsche Bank said is leading to a rise in Ethereum prices, on expectations that investors are moving into the world's second biggest cryptocurrency as an alternative for yield generation in decentralized finance. Ether was last trading at $3,783.2, hovering near its highest level since December 2024. U.S.-listed shares of companies, which have been adding cryptocurrencies to their coffers lately, were on the rise on Monday. Shares of BitMine, where tech billionaire Peter Thiel is the top investor and whose chairman is Fundstrat's Tom Lee, advanced 5.3%. Other ether holding firms Bit Digital, BTCS and SharpLink Gaming climbed between 3.1% and 12.6%, respectively. Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet rose 1.9%, while crypto exchange Coinbase Global gained 2%. GameSquare Holdings jumped 4.6% after the Delaware-based company announced it was selling some of its shares to fund cryocurrency-related investments. Companies such as GameStop have been rushing to add crypto to their balance sheets, following the footsteps of Strategy. Shares of the largest corporate holder of bitcoin have skyrocketed nearly 3,000% since 2020 and climbed 2.2% on Monday. Other cryptocurrencies also advanced, with Solana hitting its highest level since February. The ProShares Ultra Solana ETF also jumped 16.2%. The broader crypto sector's market value hit $4 trillion on Friday, according to CoinGecko data.

John Oliver Says ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' Cancellation Is ‘Incredibly Sad': ‘Terrible News for the World of Comedy'
John Oliver has weighed in on CBS' cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,' calling it 'terrible news for the world of comedy.' The 'Last Week Tonight' host was asked about the news by the Associated Press on Sunday at the first game of the Erie Moon Mammoths, a minor league baseball team rebranded by Oliver and his staff. More from Variety Skydance CEO David Ellison Pledged to FCC He Would 'Ensure' CBS News Coverage Reflects 'Varied Ideological Perspectives' 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' Has Never Won an Emmy - That Could Finally Change After CBS Canceled It Writers Guild Demands Investigation Into Stephen Colbert 'Late Show' Cancellation, Has 'Significant Concerns' About Bribery at Paramount 'Obviously I love Stephen, I love the staff, I love that show. It's incredibly sad,' Oliver said. 'I'm partly excited to see what they're going to do for the next 10 months, but yeah it's terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy.' In addition to being part of late-night himself, Oliver had been a consistent guest on Colbert's 'Late Show' over the years. It was announced on Thursday that the show will end in May 2026 after 33 years on air, with CBS citing a 'purely financial decision.' However, there has also been speculation that the politically outspoken Colbert and 'Daily Show' host Jon Stewart could be under scrutiny as Skydance Media — led by the Trump-lauded David Ellison — prepares to acquire CBS parent company Paramount Global. 'Late-night shows mean a lot to me, not just because I work in them, but because even growing up in England, I would watch Letterman's show, which of course was Stephen's show and think what a glamorous world that was,' Oliver continued. 'So to have gotten to be on Letterman's show and on Stephen's show is always one of the most fun things.' He concluded that it's 'very, very sad news' but he's 'looking forward to seeing what [Colbert's] going to do next because that man will not stop.' Oliver joins Jimmy Kimmel in late-night hosts reacting to the news, who posted on his Instagram Story on Thursday night: 'Love you Stephen. Fuck you and all your Sheldons CBS.'

Tesla Q2 earnings preview: 3 things to watch
Tesla (TSLA) stock has pared some of its early 2025 losses, but a now rocky relationship between CEO Elon Musk and President Trump is taking its toll on the optimism that fueled the company's late-2024 run. Tesla's second quarter earnings report, slated for release on Wednesday after the bell, comes at a time when the S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Nasdaq (^IXIC) are surging to new highs, bucking Trump's tariff war that led to broad-based selling and fears of a global economic slowdown. While other auto stocks have recovered, Tesla is still down around 20% year to date, with sector tariffs of 25% on foreign cars and parts still in place. Now the focus is on the struggling core auto business and the future of Tesla's robotaxi rollout. Here are three things to watch this Wednesday. The core Tesla's bread and butter, despite Musk's embrace of a robot-driven future, is its core auto business. That drives the huge majority of revenue and profit at Tesla. The company is expected to report second quarter revenue of $22.79 billion, per Bloomberg estimates, a 9% drop compared with the $25.05 billion reported a year ago. From a profitability standpoint, Wall Street analysts are expecting adjusted EPS of $0.43, translating to adjusted net income of $1.513 billion, down slightly from a year ago. Musk's reputational hit stemming from his political activities, the rise of better competition, and US consumer preferences for vehicles like hybrids have Tesla and the EV industry as a whole worried. For Tesla in particular, weakness in key regions like Europe has been an ongoing issue, and the latest registration data shows US sales sliding as well. This resulted in Tesla delivering only 384,122 vehicles globally in Q2, a 13.5% drop year over year. The changeover to the refreshed Model Y may have blunted sales. But the question for management is the availability picture for that new Model Y in Tesla's main selling regions. Read more: How to avoid the sticker shock on Tesla car insurance Robotaxi rollout On the bright side for Tesla is Elon Musk's big bet on the future with robotaxis. Tesla and Musk will most likely focus on that business, and this may perhaps point to future rollout plans with more cars and regions. Tesla has expanded its robotaxi testing in Austin, Texas, with a bigger operating area and likely more vehicles coming. Musk said the company would expand testing to the San Francisco Bay Area, but reports suggest the applications for those state permits have not been submitted. While the good news is that the test began on time as Musk proposed in mid-May, Tesla still has a long way to go. Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) Waymo, the leader in the space, has been expanding its robotaxi deployments in the US, and Uber (UBER) is doing so as well with its technology partners. Speaking of Uber, the ride-hailing giant inked a massive deal with Lucid and autonomous software firm Nuro to launch its own robotaxi service next year. "The earnings call also presents an opportunity for Tesla's robotaxi/AV narrative to shine, which has been front and center of Tesla stock's strength," Barclays analyst Dan Levy wrote in a note to investors. "We could see Elon Musk potentially discussing fleet growth targets or expansion plans." Where's the cheap EV? A year ago, Tesla said in its Q2 earnings report that production remains on track for new vehicles, likely including a cheaper EV, in the first half of next year. Investors and analysts are still waiting. There has been no indication or even renderings of a new vehicle, let alone production of a vehicle priced around $30,000. Tesla's cheapest EV is the rear-wheel-drive Model 3 sedan, which starts at around $43,000 without incentives. Investors are keen to hear more about the development of the long-awaited cheaper EV that Tesla has promised, along with other new vehicles that the company said would allow it to return to a 50% growth rate compared to 2023. The most likely scenario is not a good one for Tesla bulls — a delay in revealing the cheaper EV. "Tesla's forthcoming low-cost model seemingly missed its target for 1H25 start-of-production," Levy said. "With Tesla likely to focus on a 3Q pre-buy in advance of the Sep 30 expiration of the US EV tax credit, we believe it may delay the launch of the low-cost model to 4Q, which could be perceived negatively." Last but not least, Levy had a kicker. With weaker fundamentals in play and more capital needed to fund Tesla's AV/AI rollout, Levy believes an eventual share sale — emphasis on eventual — could be in the cards. But any talk of a dilutive share offering is not exactly what Tesla investors want to hear. Pras Subramanian is the lead auto reporter for Yahoo Finance.
