Islamic Marketing
Islam is a vibrant, active, creative and innovative community/Ummah which is on the move and likely to influence the world as never before.
Muslim consumers are a growing, influential and extremely loyal group, making them a desirable market for mainstream brands. But reaching them requires more than launching Sharia-compliant products. Making inroads to this sector takes deep understanding of the values of this community and building the brand from there.
