Muslim geographies
1.8 billion Muslims globally
52.5% are under 24 years old
Muslim youth account for 11% of the worlds population
The Middle East has seen a 78%
growth in brand value, based

most
important billion consumers behind the billion Chinese and

the world at 161 million and China has a longer legacy of
Islamic heritage, with some of the oldest mosques and close
companions of the Prophet Muhammad buried there
2001 it was BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China)

more recently CIVETS (Columbia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey, South Africa)
and MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey)

Its clear that economies with large Muslim populations are growing in
importance.

ABC
The Human Transactional Exchange
Human Cultural Experience Equation =
[(How I see myself) + (How I am seen)] [(How they see themselves) + (How I see them)]
[(Internal Me) + (External Me)] [(Internal Them) + (External Them)]
Transactional exchange
Horizontal: free exchange, +ve outcomes
Horizontal: free exchange, -ve outcomes
Asymmetric: +ve (dominant), -ve (harmful)
