Havana Group operates a vertically integrated creative business across media production, digital strategy, audio design, and equipment rental — serving government and private-sector clients in Saudi Arabia since 2009. The tech stack is weighted toward Adobe creative tools, social publishing platforms (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube), and performance analytics (Google Analytics, Hootsuite, Sprout Social), reflecting a production-and-performance-driven operation. However, hiring velocity is minimal (1 role in 30 days across 11–50 employees) and internal pain points center on customer retention and capital constraints, suggesting the studio is consolidating rather than scaling.
