Are parents a big part of your target demo?

Pinterest has dropped its first Parenting Trend Report with seven core parenting trends for 2026.

Parents are using Pinterest as a planning tool to make family life more intentional and grounded in shared experiences, with searches for “screen free activities,” “family traditions ideas,” and “no phone summer” on the rise.

Here’s what’s trending:

• Offline learning in nature and everyday life
• Experience-rich travel
• At-home activities
• Parenting styles
• Intentional shopping
• Entertainment, fandom, and sports
• Throwbacks, nostalgia-inspired play

Overall, it looks like the parenting conversation, at least on Pinterest, is shifting from passive consumption to values-driven childhood design.

Notion has launched agents, or autonomous teammates that do work for you inside your workspace.

Unlike the platform’s early AI, Notion Agents can execute tasks end-to-end, using all the context accessible in your Notion pages, databases, and connected apps like Slack, Mail, and Calendar.

This works well for routing tasks, answering recurring questions, compiling status updates, and managing repetitive operations that usually take you hours.

The Vienna Tourist Board is trying something a little different from a convention travel ad full of postcard views.

The three-minute evocative film, which now has millions of views, tells the story of a clan of vampires hunting through Vienna’s streets and restaurants at night, seeking the city’s finest Weiner Schnitzel and Kaiserschmarrn.

Directed by Bianca Poletti and created with agency seite zwei and production team Muellers Bureau, the piece is inspired by Vienna’s historical ties to vampirism and features an original soundtrack by composer Morgan Kibby.
