Dear Parents, Have there been times when you felt disjointed with your children’s world except for the biology that connects you? Have you ever felt a sense of alienation from their activities and transactions in their material lives? Have you found the ease with which they handle technology and the curious interests they develop so outlandish that you wonder if you were a dinosaur inhabiting a land of supernovas?

With new technology, insights and tools at hands, it is the best time to be a marketer. That is according to experts who were speaking at the Tribe summit in Dubai on Thursday. “We are no longer marketing to consumers,” said Annie Arsane, Head of Business Marketing, Middle East, Turkey, Africa and Pakistan at TikTok. “They are prosumers. They are consumers but also content producers. They are giving us the feedback on what they want. We don’t need to do focus groups any more. Everything we want to know about our consumers is on social media. There isn’t a better…

Israeli strikes killed at least 48 people in southern and central Gaza overnight, half of them women and children, health officials said on Thursday, as European foreign ministers and UN agencies called for a ceasefire, with alarm rising over the worsening humanitarian crisis and potential starvation in the territory.
