- 12. DEMYSTIFYING ‘ISLAMIC BRANDING’ AND ‘HALAL’
- 13. 5 useful words the global Muslim community - Ummah a set of guiding life principles, a mental and moral compass - Shariah light, enlightenment - Noor acceptable to Muslims, in accordance with good practice - Halal forbidden to Muslims - Haraam
- 14. Our definition of Islamic Branding. Branding that is empathe/c to Shariah values in order to appeal to the Muslim consumer ranging from basic Shariah friendliness to full Shariah compliance in all aspects of the brand’s iden9ty, behaviour and communica9ons.
- 15. What is halal? Halal – the ingredients are in line with Islamic prescription, correctly slaughtered, acceptable animal derivatives, no alcohol ‘Tayyib’ – wholesome and good Increasing emphasis on ethical and organic, focusing on the end to end supply chain Halal is increasingly popular with non-Muslim consumers due to perception of quality and health
- 16. How will Muslim consumers know it’s halal? Authority and clarity The authority of appropriate certification bodies Clear logo Detailed and backed-up Clear explanation of the brand’s approach to ‘halal’ and where it fits on the scale of shariah-friendliness or compliance Detailed explanations available at consumer touch-points such as website – consumers will be rigorous in tracking every claim to its source
- 17. Halal is important to the Muslim consumer - and means more than just food Tier One Tier Two The Noor Category Index Tier three Note on the data: All ratings were captured at a sub-category level. Sub categories ratings within each category measured were aggregated to provide a one score index for each category.
- 18. Halal is important to the Muslim consumer - and means more than just food Tier One: Shariah-compliance is an absolute must Tend to be related to bodily consumption, due to high standards of hygiene and safety. Tier Two: Categories are still close to the body or in regular usage, so Shariah-compliance is still important. consumer scrutiny of categories in this tier, eg cosmetics and fashion, is set to grow, and brands should take note. Tier Three: acceptance of possible non-compliancy Categories are the least regularly consumed, and so Shariah-compliance standards are more flexible. There is a mature acceptance of the need for some of these categories (eg airlines) to be openly appealing to all consumer groups.

- 20. THE NEW MUSLIM CONSUMER
- 21. They are young They are driven by pride in who they are, and by their reach for success in all they do. They look confidently to the future. But stay firmly rooted in the values that define them. They are fully engaged with the world, but are defining their own place in it.
- 22. The New Muslim consumer Tech-savvy Self-empowered Believes in faith and modernity See Islam as a means to improve themselves and their community Creative in solving their own challenges Brand conscious and loyal Holds brands to account
- 23. HOW BRANDS CAN ENGAGE WITH THE NEW MUSLIM CONSUMER
- 24. We take a new approach. We start by understanding And then analyse what core Muslim values like these they mean for brands. Purity Be authen9c in word and deed. Honesty Be transparent. Humility Avoid hubris. Discipline Display efficiency. Togetherness Be part of the community. Image-‐consciousness Help project the right image.
- 25. COMMUNITY
- 26. The consumer is part of a community When you speak to the Muslim consumer, you speak to the Muslim community A duty to divulge The ummah Ramadan Hajj Eid
- 27. Practical guidance: engaging the community Key traits of the new Muslim consumer: Crosses cultural and geographic boundaries to connect with those of shared values via digital and social media An obligation to share knowledge about brands Corporate error is punished, but corporate empathy is rewarded with loyalty Engagement strategies Endorsement through word of mouth Responsible citizenship Supporting the community

- 29. PURITY
- 30. Purity affects body and soul Purity of ingredients is crucial Purity of a brand’s intention affects consumer perception Purity of mysterious processes and ingredient labels is becoming increasingly important
- 31. Practical guidance: purity Key traits of the new Muslim consumer: Importance placed on upholding the values of halal and tayyib Will be rigorous in checking halal credentials Increasingly demanding of end to end ethics in the supply chain Purity should be ‘technical’ as well as in the ethos Desire for purity extends to wider consumption such as health, pharma and personal care Engagement strategies Ensure that certification is conducted by bodies with credibility with the target consumer Do as you say: ensure your products and processes are all halal and as you say they are Make halal information available at all touchpoints, especially on the web Do not over-claim on any product
- 32. Case study: purity Olper’s (Pakistan)
- 34. Clarity and relevance The New Muslim consumer treats brands like people: and holds them to similar account. They expect people to be clear, and expect the same for brands We talked earlier about the importance of clarity of certification processes and logos This must include honesty about what is and isn’t fully halal, otherwise you will get found out Clarity leads to trust. If trust is breached, the brand must work hard to build it
- 35. Practical guidance: clarity and relevance Key traits of the new Muslim consumer: Clear intentions and values: They expect brands to be clear about what they stand for, just as they expect it from people Clear communication: They expect brands to lay out clearly how their products and business do or do not comply with their shariah aspirations Relevance of the brand must be clear Engagement strategies Be open and honest about what parts of the product and brand are halal Train staff to be clear in communicating the brand message and product features Ensure that the brand message is relevant to the Muslim consumer, the relevance is clearly communicated and that expectations can be met

- 37. WHAT NEXT?
- 38. Three key messages The Muslim consumer market is growing rapidly, especially in Asia The values Muslim consumers ask for appeal to wider audiences too Muslim consumers want brands to reach out to them to help navigate their aspiration for a Muslim lifestyle, and brands that do will be rewarded with loyalty and endorsement Labelling things ‘Islamic’ or ‘halal’ is not enough: brands must engage on the level of values, and must work hard to build and maintain trust
