Bloomberg has reported, with information from people familiar with the matter, that Americana is in talks to acquire Cravia Inc. from Fajr Capital, the private equity company that has owned Cravia since 2016. Talks are at an early stage, and there is no certainty a deal will be reached, the sources told Bloomberg, which could not get a response from Americana, while Fajr declined to comment.

LEGO reimagines Father's Day with 'Build It With Him' campaign
This Father's Day, the LEGO Group is inspiring families across the UAE to rethink gifting traditions with its regionally tailored 'Build It With Him' campaign – a creative call to action that invites parents and children to connect through the joy of LEGO® play. Ula Bieganska, Head of Marketing, LEGO Group MEA says, 'The creative vision was inspired by the idea that Father's Day isn't really about celebration it's about connection. Our campaign for the LEGO Group set out to reframe the occasion not as a moment for grand gestures, but as a chance to be present and playful. The campaign was a collaboration between Publicis Middle East and MSL Middle East, with MSL handling the strategy and insights and earned amplification and PME leading on creative. Insight-led storytelling To shape the campaign, the team conducted extensive local research to better understand Father's Day in the UAE The strategy was rooted in a deep understanding of Father's Day in the UAE, an occasion that is officially acknowledged but often culturally overlooked. Bieganska says, 'We carried out primary research to understand mindsets and habits around Father's Day, among the country's diverse expat population, alongside the influence of Khaleeji family dynamics, and the last-minute nature of gifting behaviour in this market. Rather than importing a global idea, we built a regional-first narrative that played into human truths, social behaviours, and localised gifting patterns.' She adds, 'A combination of local research and cultural insight revealed a disconnect between how Father's Day is recognised and how it is actually experienced in the UAE. A YouGov study showed that 75 per cent of UAE dads had received the same gift more than once, with cliché and predictable gifts like mugs, wallets and shirts topping the list,' 'Yet, when asked about their most meaningful gifts, a quarter of dads said it was something handmade by their child. Our focus groups echoed this sentiment, as dads spoke not about being celebrated, but about wanting to spend more time with their kids. This emotional truth became the anchor for the campaign,' reveals Bieganska. Transforming tradition through play The campaign's primary goal was to build brand affinity by positioning LEGO bricks as a meaningful Father's Day gifting solution. Rather than focusing on conversion, it was designed to resonate emotionally with families and boost top-of-mind awareness during a typically under-leveraged seasonal moment in the region. 'While this wasn't a conversion-led campaign, it was designed to drive customer loyalty through emotional resonance and cultural relevance,' says Bieganska. 'Build It With Him' The campaign ran across owned the LEGO Group social channels, earned media, and in-store with an activation at the LEGO Store at Mall of The Emirates. Creative assets included static visuals, with playful LEGO brick-built reinterpretations of traditional Father's Day gifts, all created for digital-first consumption. Aside from this, influencer marketing also took place. Influencers known for parenting and lifestyle content were chosen for their alignment with LEGO's values of imagination and quality. Their content focused on sharing the experience of building LEGO gifts with their children and reflecting on Father's Day meaningfully, enhancing engagement and authenticity. The 'Build It With Him' campaign specifically spoke to two core audience segments in the UAE. Expat mums (aged 28–45) – the key gift buyers in the household, often time-poor but looking for thoughtful and meaningful gifting options that reflect shared family values. Older expat kids (aged 16–25) – trend-aware gift-givers who want to move beyond the generic and find gifts that feel personal, creative and social-media-worthy. A celebration of connection beyond the occasion More than a seasonal campaign, 'Build It With Him' champions the enduring value of creativity and cross-generational bonding – turning a traditionally quiet holiday into a playful opportunity for family connection. 'The key brand message is simple but powerful: the best gifts aren't bought, they're built. Through this lens, LEGO bricks becomes more than a product, it becomes a tool for cross-generational connection and shared memory-making,' Bieganska concludes. By tapping into regional behaviours and emotional truths, the LEGO Group campaign transforms a token holiday into a creative opportunity for connection. 'Build It With Him' not only refreshes the Father's Day conversation in the UAE, but also reinforces the LEGO Group's role as a brand that champions shared experiences and the enduring value of play across generations. The campaign launched ahead of Father's Day on June 21, coinciding with World Play Day on June 11, and continues across key channels in the UAE.

THE GROWING INFLUENCE OF WOMEN'S ECONOMIC POWER IN THE MIDDLE EAST
New research shows women in the Middle East are helping drive a global rise in women's spending power, yet many still feel misrepresented and misunderstood. Despite $792 billion in global ad spend, nearly half of women worldwide say brands and businesses continue to miss the mark, attempting to engage them with outdated stereotypes and missing a huge opportunity with a powerful, complex, multi-dimensional consumer who holds two-thirds of the world's discretionary spend in their pockets. The findings are part of The Collective® Economy: A Global Understanding of Women's Buying Power. The report leverages insights from 8,700 women across 10 countries, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, exploring how women live, spend, and perceive the world, and highlights where brands are falling short. In addition to capturing a holistic understanding of women's economic behaviors and attitudes, the report also introduces six new consumer personas that align diverse world views and shared experiences. The Mindful Multi-tasker: balancing work, family, and wellbeing (regardless of motherhood) balancing work, family, and wellbeing (regardless of motherhood) The Family-First Realist: grounded in practicality and long-term security grounded in practicality and long-term security The Independent Striver : driven by growth, career, and financial autonomy : driven by growth, career, and financial autonomy The Empowered Advocate: cares deeply about justice, visibility, and making change cares deeply about justice, visibility, and making change The Global Dreamer: outward-facing, creative, and connected outward-facing, creative, and connected The Creative Explorer: Defining life on their terms, and it has to mean something 'Women are telling us what matters to them and what doesn't,' said Thayer Lavielle, EVP and Managing Director of The Collective. 'And they clearly want products that support and reflect their lives, values, and priorities. This research provides a global pulse on how women perceive their marketing, by region, and where they believe brand marketers may be falling short. Through the six personas we have developed, The Collective® Economy is a blueprint for building stronger connections, greater impact and lasting growth.' Spotlight on the Middle East In Saudi Arabia and the UAE, women are navigating a blend of tradition and ambition, and they expect brands to reflect that balance. In Saudi Arabia, 54% of women say family influences their daily decisions, and 52% are the main decision-makers for household purchases, guided by values like financial stability, health and personal growth. Yet 45% say brands don't understand them, and 49% say they don't feel empowered by how women are portrayed in advertising. These women are navigating a blend of cultural tradition and modern ambition. Many fall into the study's Family-First Realist persona – practical, values-led, and responsible for others. They're not asking brands to ignore culture; they want them to see the bigger picture. In the UAE, women are more likely to identify with the Empowered Advocate persona. 66% say family matters deeply in their decisions – the third-highest rate globally – but they also lead in education, careers, and caregiving roles. Over half (55%) are the primary decision-makers for purchasing in their home. Yet nearly half (48%) say brands don't understand them, and 41% do not feel empowered by the representation of women in marketing. These are educated, digitally savvy consumers with high expectations. They want to see ambition and tradition reflected side by side, and expect brands to meet that standard.
