Engagement vs enragement: Pinterest chiefs challenge rivals on mental health, teen protection, vie for performance ad dollars amid acquisition cost crunch, Mecca, Pandora, Adidas buy-in
Pinterest aims to put clear air between itself and rival platforms under pressure globally over mental health and algorithm-induced anxiety and the prospect of teen bans locally. It’s simultaneously making a play for more full-funnel ad dollars as performance media acquisition costs soar, doubling in the last four years and threatening unit economics, especially for ecom pureplays.

As Digital Natives edge towards becoming the inevitable majority, experience design needs to catch up
The kids are alright, mostly. The percentage of Australians who have only known a digital world is edging inexorably towards a majority, yet the digital experiences of government and business are still anchored in the messy transitional world of those who also remember a world of real things. To ensure they are delivering the best experiences, brands and governments need to take much more account of the changing relationship the community has with technology according to a report from R/GA. It’s a world already familiar to executives we spoke to at Kit (part of CommBank’s X-15 ventures) and Bendigo and Adelaide’s Up Bank.
