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.

Why OU athletic director Joe Castiglione feels Sooners are prepared for House settlement
ARDMORE — Joe Castiglione was settling into his car after dinner last Friday in Kansas City when his son delivered a message. 'It just broke,' Joe Castiglione Jr. said to his dad. 'What broke?' the elder Castiglione asked. Advertisement 'The judge's decision,' Castiglione Jr. told him. Last Friday evening was a 'remember where you were' moment for plenty of people involved in college athletics. The decision was the approval of The House vs. NCAA settlement, which paves the way for schools to pay athletes directly. 'We feel very prepared,' Castiglione said. 'That being said, it's still an ever-evolving landscape in college athletics. … It's a very different world moving forward.' OU baseball transfer portal tracker: Who has left, joined Skip Johnson's Sooners? OU President Joseph Harroz Jr. was having a beer — one Guinness, he noted — in New York City as he worked to get his son settled into an internship there. Advertisement At Thursday's meeting of the OU Board of Regents at the Noble Research Institute, Harroz called the settlement's approval a 'tectonic' shift for college athletics, while Castiglione called it 'an entirely new frontier.' 'One that we are really now prepared to launch into and really serve our athletes properly,' Castiglione said. Schools can start direct payment to athletes July 1, with each school being able to pay approximately $20.5 million per school initially and increasing every year. 'That's not very far from now, so we're going to be really busy between now and then,' Harroz said. 'And we're going to see …. Will the A4 conferences put in place the rules necessary for this settlement to hold and for college athletics to be preserved? That's what's at stake right now.' Advertisement Castiglione has said OU would pay out the full revenue-sharing amount. Castiglione said those payments would be made to athletes in six sports — football, men's and women's basketball, women's gymnastics, softball and baseball. The percentage breakdown for those has not been finalized, but Castiglione and Harroz said the school would release the percentages by sport once they were. Castiglione noted that they would be in line with other SEC programs, some of which have announced their split percentages. The payment to former athletes will be split 75% to football, 15% for men's basketball, 5% for women's basketball and 5% for other sports.

The challenge to the settlement on the grounds it violates Title IX law will pause the NCAA's plan to pay former athletes, but won't slow down payment to current athletes. 'I feel like in a very uncertain world, we gained some certainty last Friday night with the House settlement coming down,' Harroz said. 'Now it's up to us in the conferences to enforce it and make it stick. 'The greatest burden and obligation for us in the conferences right now is to make the House settlement be functional and to not engage in cheating around it.' Advertisement Castiglione, who was in Kansas City for his niece's wedding, said after he returned to his hotel after his brisket dinner at Joe's Kansas City BBQ that he spent a couple hours on the phone making sure the plans the department had in place in anticipation of the settlement were being put into motion. 'We had already had many aspects of this already put in place to launch at any time,' Castiglione said. 'We were all aware that the decision could come at any time, just making sure everything could be implemented as we planned.' Harroz said the move to the SEC, which officially happened nearly a year ago, put the department in a much better position to reach its two primary objectives — continue operating without using student or state money to fund the athletic department and competing for and winning championships. 'The level of confidence we can meet these marks is high,' Harroz said. Advertisement In May, the school announced a 5% cut of full-time athletic department employees, though Castiglione and Harroz categorized those moves as a redistribution of resources. Castiglione said he was hopeful further cuts wouldn't be necessary, but noted the landscape would continue to shift. 'I don't want to try to speculate how the ecosystem's going to continue to evolve,' Castiglione said. 'It's safe to say without a permanent structure it's impossible to speculate with any true accuracy. But suffice to say, we haven't seen the last of the economic shifts. What our strategy has been is to continue to fund the sports we sponsor. It starts there. … 'We're still self-sustaining. It's been tougher, no doubt about it.' SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, center, talks with OU President Joseph Harroz Jr., left, and OU athletic director Joe Castiglione after a press conference before a celebration for OU joining the Southeastern Conference in Norman, Okla., Monday, July 1, 2024. OU didn't receive a full revenue share percentage in its first year in the SEC but will receive a full share beginning this fiscal year, bringing an estimated additional $32 million in revenue. Advertisement Harroz said the school was committed to supporting women's sports as a whole and other sports that aren't a part of the revenue-sharing model. 'We're also able to support women's sports and all the Olympic sports,' Harroz said. 'That's the essence of college athletics.' There figures to be plenty of other changes coming to college athletics, both said. 'House settles a lot,' Harroz said. 'House doesn't settle everything. There will be additional challenges, but now it's up to the conferences to step and the individual schools not to act in short-term best interest to try to gain an advantage for one year but actually live into it.' Advertisement Also at the meeting, the regents approved several contracts and contract changes: New contracts Lake Dawson, senior assistant general manager for football, two-year contract at $290,000 annually Jonathan Gress, head athletic trainer for football, two-year contract at $210,000 annually.

Nicholas Crowell, men's tennis coach, raised $5,600 annually to $195,600 per year. Clay Custer, men's basketball assistant, extended through June 30, 2026, and raised $10,000 to $295,000 annually.
