Matter of Fact: Pushing past the transaction
Marketing in its current state is becoming formulaic, with companies emphasising seamless communication while their messaging focuses more on transactions and consumption rather than connection, especially in digital and social media. However, Gen Z, being the elusive and sceptical audience, sees through this. They want brands to offer identity and experiences, and more notably, connections. Vans' recent 'Always Pushing' campaign demonstrates effective and targeted branding. By embracing the lifestyle the brand embodies, Vans organised music and skateboarding pop-ups at key locations, leaving a lasting impression. The success led Vans to transform some retail spaces into permanent skateparks, turning stores from transactional environments into community hubs that reflect their audience's passions. The path is clear: to engage modern audiences, brands must move beyond sales-focused communication. Storytelling should centre on how the brand experience enriches lives. Successful communication aligns with preferences for value-driven, discovery-led interactions, not just promoting products. Connection, not consumption, is what leaves a lasting impression. GAME CHANGER Meta opens the message At its recent Conversations conference, Meta introduced new AI-driven features designed for businesses to enhance direct consumer marketing. The updates include expanded WhatsApp and Instagram integrations, along with collaborations with platforms such as Shopify and WooCommerce. These changes aim to help brands connect with broader audiences more easily, blending e-commerce with real-time interaction for greater engagement. BREAKING THE NET Racing into the blockbuster lane Apple's in-house film F1: The Movie starring Brad Pitt, has seen the tech giant promote the feature film by tapping into its ecosystem. The tech giant used Wallet push notifications, Apple Pay ticket discounts, and even got co-star Damson Idris to drive an F1 car from the film through Manhattan for the 2025 Met Gala, gaining additional viral mainstream attention from the stunt. #NOT MrBeast hits pause on AI YouTube's most-subscribed creator, Jimmy 'MrBeast' Donaldson, delayed the launch of his ViewStats AI tool suite following backlash from fellow creators.

UAE Eid Al Etihad 2025 plans revealed: Fireworks, drone shows and a long weekend await
As the UAE prepares to mark its 54th National Day, the excitement is palpable. This year, the occasion—proudly known as Eid Al Etihad (Festival of the Union)—promises to be bigger, bolder, and more dazzling than ever. From breathtaking fireworks to cutting-edge drone displays, Abu Dhabi is set to come alive with a fusion of heritage, technology, and pure spectacle. Every year on December 2, the UAE commemorates the historic unification of the seven emirates in 1971. But this isn't just a public holiday—it's a nationwide celebration of Emirati pride, ambition, and the diverse communities that call the UAE home. This year, residents can look forward to a four-day weekend, with December 2 and 3 officially designated as public holidays. And if the holiday begins on December 1, there's even a chance of a five-day break, making it the perfect opportunity for a staycation or a quick getaway. What's in store for Eid Al Etihad 2025? While the full lineup is still under wraps, past celebrations offer a glimpse of what to expect. The main event, taking place on Tuesday, December 2, will be held at a yet-to-be-revealed iconic location—much like last year's stunning celebration at Jebel Hafeet in Al Ain, which showcased the UAE's heritage and futuristic vision. Highlights to Look Forward To: Fireworks Extravaganza: The skies over Abu Dhabi will illuminate in the national colors, with spectacular displays expected at Yas Island, the Corniche, and other key location. Drone Shows: A staple of UAE National Day, these synchronized aerial performances will likely feature even more advanced storytelling and visuals. Cultural Performances & Parades: From traditional dances to immersive heritage showcases, free public events will bring the streets of Abu Dhabi to life. Star-Studded Concerts: Previous years have featured both local and international artists. Exclusive Shopping & Dining Deals: Major discounts are expected across malls, hotels, and restaurants, particularly in hotspots like Yas Bay, Saadiyat Island, and The Galleria. Traffic Fine Discounts & Free Parking: Following last year's 50% reduction on fines in some emirates, could we see a repeat? Plus, free public parking in Abu Dhabi is highly anticipated. How to Make the Most of the Holiday With December 2 and 3 as official days off, strategic annual leave could turn this into a **nine-day break** (if taken from **December 1 to December 9**). Whether it's a luxury staycation, a desert retreat, or a road trip across the Emirates, the long weekend is the perfect time to unwind and celebrate. A Month-Long Celebration of Unity Eid Al Etihad isn't just a one-day affair—it's a month-long tribute to the UAE's journey. Buildings will be adorned in the national colors, Emirati music will fill the air, and communities will come together in a vibrant display of unity. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Instagram & Feature Image: Instagram @queenrania
