ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Oxford Global Islamic Branding and Marketing Forum

Imagine you have a toy that you really like, and you want to tell all your friends how great your toy is and convince them to like it too. This is kind of like what companies do when they want to sell a product or a brand.

The Oxford Global Islamic Branding and Marketing Forum is a big meeting where people who work for companies that sell things (like toys or clothes or makeup) get together to learn how to sell their products better. They talk about how to make their products stand out from others, how to make people notice them, and how to make people want to buy them.

But, there is a special focus on things that are important to people who follow the Islamic religion. For example, companies might learn how to make products that are "halal", which means that they are okay to use according to Islamic laws. Or, they might learn how to create advertisements that are respectful to Islamic values and beliefs.

So, the Oxford Global Islamic Branding and Marketing Forum is a place where people who work for companies can learn how to sell their products in a way that is respectful and appealing to people who follow the Islamic religion.
