      Meta insider Joana Jamil on navigating Instagram the right way

      by

      Life

      by Ruman Baig
      2 hours ago

      Joana Jamil, the Strategic Partner Manager, Global Partnerships at Meta, offers a unique perspective on the dynamic social media landscape of Instagram.

      How do you envision Instagram’s role in shaping the future of fashion in the Middle East?
      Instagram has already proven itself to be a transformative platform for the fashion industry, and its role in the Middle East will only continue to grow. The region is home to dynamic creators, designers, and influencers who use Instagram to express themselves, break barriers, and connect with global audiences. Instagram serves as a critical enabler and connector within the fashion industry in the region, empowering creators to not only showcase their work but also reach new markets and collaborate with brands through tools like Reels, Stories, and Shopping. But we don’t just enable onplatform; we actively connect the industry off-platform through initiatives like the industry roundtable dinner we hosted during Dubai Fashion Week and our participation in events such as the IG x Elie Saab collaboration, where we connected a global brand with regional creators. We also prioritise nurturing talents by providing creators with workshops and educational sessions that focus on how to best utilise our tools and features, ensuring they maximise the full potential of the platform.
      How can the platform be leveraged for authentic growth?
      Instagram empowers emerging talents by giving them direct access to a global audience through Reels, Stories, and Instagram Broadcast channels. We also host a series of workshops, roundtables, and 1:1 meeting with creators and creatives in various industries to hear from them and understand their needs and challenges throughout the year. We’re also constantly working on finding opportunities to bridge regional fashion creators with global moments in fashion, such as the Met Gala and Paris Fashion Week. For example, we had creators from the region fly to New York to represent us at the IG Met Watch Party.

      What bold strategies do you think Instagram has recently implemented for better user experience?
      Instagram has introduced several new features within Reels to provide a more bespoke experience for creators while creating content such as remixes and templates, which allow creators to easily create engaging and visually appealing content using pre-designed templates. These templates can be customised with text, images, and other creative elements, making it easier for creators to produce high-quality content on the go as well as be inspired by trending content in their niche. We also introduced our latest messaging tool, Instagram broadcast channel, which allows creators to create a more personal experience and engage directly with their community utilising multiple formats within their channels such as voice notes, pictures, videos and text.
      How do you see AI, AR, VR technology impacting the future of fashion shopping?
      At Meta, we see AI is a catalyst or accelerator for things we’re trying to do – whether it’s unleashing more creativity or working more efficiently. It’s not an end product in and of itself. When it comes to AR/VR technology, these tools are poised to revolutionise fashion shopping by making the experience more immersive and interactive. Imagine trying on clothes virtually using AR or walking through a virtual store using VR – these technologies can bridge the gap between physical and online shopping. In addition to AR/VR, AI plays a significant role in making fashion shopping more personalised. On Instagram, for instance, we’ve integrated AI-driven content recommendations that help fashion brands connect with their audience more effectively. AI analyses user preferences and suggests fashion related posts, stories, and reels tailored to users’ styles. Some AI-powered features that fashion brands can leverage on the platform include content recommendation, image and video recognition, generative AI tools, ad targeting and AI-powered captions and hashtags. With these tools, both AR/VR and AI will continue to shape the future of fashion shopping, offering brands and consumers more interactive, personalised, and efficient experiences.

      How can Instagram’s advertising platform be used more efficiently?
      Instagram’s advertising platform offers various targeting options to reach specific fashion demographics and preferences in the region. A number of vital ways include demographic targeting (age, gender, location, language), interest targeting (fashion, beauty, lifestyle), behavioural targeting (purchasing fashion items online, engaging with fashion content), lookalike audiences (based on existing customers or website visitors), location targeting, and many more options which allow fashion brands to create a targeted campaign that increases their engagement and conversion.
      Will the recent change in algorithm impact organic growth?
      The algorithm now prioritises content from accounts that users interact with most, which means that accounts may need to adapt their content strategy to increase engagement and reach. This could include creating more interactive content, using relatable topics and hashtags, and posting at optimal times. Additionally, accounts may need to focus on building a loyal community of followers who will consistently engage with their content.
      How can Meta effectively adapt Instagram’s strategies to capitalise on the growing popularity of Reels?
      Reels has a world of opportunities. In fact, it is our fastest growing feature on the platform! There are multiple ways to capitalise on the growing popularity of reels – to name a few best practices: Focus on creating original, engaging, and entertaining content; collaborate with other creators or users on the platform; utilise Instagram’s features (polls, quizzes, questions) for further engagement with your communities; post consistently – have a schedule that best suits you and your community. Monitor analytics to track learnings — fluctuations in reach are common, but if you’re using a Business or Creator Account, you can check your Instagram Insights to monitor trends and content performance. Watch out for patterns= and keep tabs on which pieces of content are getting more reach to help inform your content strategy. Within Insights, you can break down Accounts Reached by followers and non-followers so you can see how much of your reach is coming from people who don’t already follow you – and track that over time by changing the time frame selected. Experiment with different formats until you find your perfect fit. Get inspired! Make sure to keep an eye on rising trends and music through browsing other Reels and checking @Creators weekly Reels of roundup.
      Are the ‘save’ and ‘share’ features more pivotal for your content’s reach?
      Yes, the ‘save’ and ‘share’ features are important for a user’s content’s reach on Instagram. When users save or share your content, it increases its visibility and can lead to more engagement and followers.
      What bold approach do you think can help brands or individuals to stand out on Instagram?
      Be original. Focus on creating unique, high-quality content that tells a story and showcases your brand’s personality. This can include using creative visuals, experimenting with different formats, and leveraging user-generated content. Additionally, engaging with your audience through comments and DMs can help build a loyal community and increase brand awareness.
      This is The Bold Issue, what does being bold mean to you?
      For me, the formula is simple:being bold means taking risks and stepping outside of your comfort zone to achieve something remarkable. It means being fearless, confident, and unapologetic in your approach, even if it means going against the grain. Being bold is about embracing uncertainty and pushing boundaries to create something truly innovative and impactful.

      Erth’s visionary CEO on outlining a path to global prominence for Emirati hospitality

      by

      Life

      by Camille Macawili

      Shaikha Al Kaabi, Erth’s visionary CEO, outlines a path to global prominence for Emirati hospitality.
      What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like, your morning routine?
      My day begins with a moment of prayer, which sets a tranquil and focused tone. I then engage in light exercise to invigorate my body and mind. After that, I review my schedule to ensure I am well-prepared for the day’s meetings and projects, including our work at Erth Abu Dhabi, Ecole Ducasse Abu Dhabi Studio, and Erth Al Hosn. This routine reflects our broader organisational values, emphasising mindfulness and preparation. It mirrors our approach to staff development at Erth, where we support both long-standing team members and young Emirati talent in creating a productive and harmonious work environment.

      Shaikha Al Kaabi, CEO at Erth
      What is the USP of Erth Abu Dhabi and how do you approach things differently?
      Erth Abu Dhabi distinguishes itself through its seamless integration of Emirati heritage with modern luxury. Our unique selling proposition is the authentic Emirati experience we offer, showcased in our architecture, hospitality, and culinary offerings. We provide a diverse range of facilities, including a 350-meter private Blue Flag certified beach and an elegantly designed swimming pool, all within Abu Dhabi’s vibrant cultural and business hubs. Our commitment to staff development and retention is also a key differentiator. We have a remarkable legacy of long-serving staff – some have been with us for over 25 years – demonstrating the stability and excellence we bring. Additionally, we actively invest in nurturing young Emirati talent, ensuring a dynamic and innovative team that enhances our guest experience and reflects our commitment to both tradition and modernity.
      Can you define the inspiration behind the design?
      The design of Erth Abu Dhabi is a tribute to the visionary legacy of His Highness Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE. His vision for a recreational space for the UAE Armed Forces has been realised with a design that celebrates Emirati culture and heritage.
      The architecture draws inspiration from the falcon – a symbol of strength and vision – while the interiors reflect the beauty of the UAE’s landscapes, the warmth of its people, and the richness of its history. This respect for tradition extends to our staff ’s dedication. We blend traditional influences with modern design, ensuring that both our architecture and our service approach honour our cultural roots while appealing to contemporary tastes. Erth Abu Dhabi menus celebrate the rich heritage of history and UAE culture.
      What is Erth’s culinary vision?
      At Erth, our culinary vision is to elevate Emirati cuisine by merging traditional flavours with contemporary techniques. We prioritise sustainability by sourcing ingredients locally, which supports the local economy and reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship. Our goal is to offer guests an authentic taste of the UAE, presenting the depth and diversity of our culinary traditions within a modern context. This approach to cuisine is mirrored in our staff development efforts. We emphasise training that integrates traditional culinary techniques with modern practices, ensuring that our team can deliver dishes that resonate with both our heritage and global culinary trends.
      To you, what are the key standout dishes?
      Our standout dishes feature innovative takes on traditional Emirati recipes. For example, our Farid Inspired Ravioli Fusion combines slow-cooked lamb with regag bread and pasta, served with a rich lamb emulsion sauce. Our Luqaimat dessert is a delightful contrast of textures – crisp on the outside, with a soft, airy center, glazed with date syrup and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted to reflect our culture and heritage.

      Erth Abu Dhabi offers a unique environment to experience traditional Emirati cuisine – was this the plan from the outset?
      From the beginning, our vision for Erth was to create a destination where guests can deeply engage with Emirati culture. We aimed to offer more than just a dining experience; we wanted to provide an immersive journey through our traditions and heritage. Every aspect of Erth is designed to ensure that each visit is a meaningful exploration of our cultural legacy. Our commitment to this vision is supported by our team, including both long-serving staff and emerging Emirati talent.
      How important is it to use traditional techniques and how do you combine this with contemporary design?
      Maintaining authenticity is crucial, so we blend traditional cooking techniques with modern innovations. This approach allows us to honor our culinary heritage while also appealing to a global audience. By integrating time-honoured methods with contemporary design, we create dishes that are deeply rooted in tradition yet aligned with modern tastes. Our approach to staff development follows this philosophy. We provide training that combines traditional practices with contemporary methods, ensuring that our team is equipped to meet evolving expectations while preserving our cultural heritage.

      The culinary journey experience at Erth Abu Dhabi is exceptional – can you expand on how you’ve achieved this in such a location?
      Creating an exceptional culinary journey at Erth involves meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence. We have showcased our capabilities at significant local events, such as serving over 15,000 meals daily at key Abu Dhabi events and providing diverse experi- ences during major cultural and business gatherings in the city. These achievements reflect the dedication of our team, including long-standing professionals and young Emirati talent, who contribute to delivering exceptional experiences.
      This year, the Erth restaurant has been awarded one Michelin Star by The Michelin Guide. How does it feel to accomplish this title?
      Receiving a Michelin Star is a profound honor and a testament to the dedication and talent of our entire team. It validates our commitment to elevating Emirati cuisine on a global stage and motivates us to continue innovating and pushing the boundaries of the culinary arts.
      What has been the biggest challenge to date and how did you overcome it?
      One of our greatest challenges has been balancing the preservation of our cultural heritage with the evolving demands of modern hospitality. We have navigated this challenge by staying true to our cultural roots while embracing innovative practices. This approach has allowed us to honour our traditions while meeting contemporary expectations. Our staff development strategy has been crucial in this process. By investing in both seasoned professionals and emerging talent, we ensure that our team is well-equipped to address these challenges effectively.

      This is The Visionary Issue – how do you view the future of Erth Abu Dhabi?
      Looking ahead, our vision for Erth is to become not just a premier destination in Abu Dhabi, but a global beacon of Emirati hospitality. We aim to continue celebrating and sharing our rich cultural legacy while expanding our international presence. Our commitment to both heritage and innovation, supported by our dedicated team of long-standing staff and new talent, will guide us as we strive to make a lasting impact on the global stage.

      For the Zodiac obsessed, it’s finally the beginning of Libra season and inevitably gifting is a big part of it.
      Libras, born between September 23 and October 22, are known for their love of beauty, harmony, and balance. The sign is known to be the charmer of the zodiac, with a particular interest in all things beauty and aesthetics. Libras stay afloat through their dedication to their values and their appreciation of beauty in every scenario.
      They are ruled by Venus, the planet of love and aesthetics, which often makes them drawn to elegant, stylish, and thoughtful gifts.

      Stylish interior pieces
      Libras appreciate a beautiful, balanced home environment. Think about elegant candles, chic picture frames, tasteful wall art, or decorative vases. Because the sign craves a little luxury in their life, Libras will love an elegant that doubles as home decor. We’ve also found a pretty robe you can give them to wear during their pre-glam sessions.
      Art and books
      They love anything that stimulates the mind or beautifies their surroundings. Consider art prints, coffee table books on fashion, art, or design, or a beautifully bound journal.
      A sartorial sense
      Known for their keen sense of style, Libras would love trendy clothing, stylish scarves, quality handbags, or elegant jewelry, especially if it’s personalized or unique.
      Spa and Self-Care Items
      As lovers of luxury and comfort, gifts like bath bombs, high-quality skincare products, plush robes, or scented oils are perfect for helping Libras relax.
      Experiences
      Libras enjoy socialising and trying new things. Tickets to a concert, theater, art exhibition, or a gift certificate for a fancy dinner can make a memorable gift.
      Scented Candles or Perfumes
      They have a heightened appreciation for beautiful scents. Opt for elegant perfumes, luxury scented candles, or aromatherapy sets.
      Music and Entertainment
      Libras love to be entertained. Consider vinyl records, a Bluetooth speaker, or tickets to their favorite band’s concert.
      So, for your next gifting shopping spree for the Libra in your life, here’s our curated guide on what to purchase.
