What the UK market expects.

A good product isn't enough on its own. These are the four things we check with every brand before it launches here.

  1. Retail and wholesale

    Buyers want proof of demand, clear pricing and a brand that fits the shelf it's going on.

  2. Certification

    UK shoppers look for certification they recognise. We make sure yours is clear on pack and online.

  3. Social first

    Most people find new brands on Instagram, TikTok and Amazon now. Your content has to work there before anywhere else.

  4. The calendar

    Ramadan, Eid and school holidays shape when people buy. Launch at the right moment and the same budget goes much further.

Film and animation
people stop for.

Brand films, animated stories, launch campaigns and social content, all made in-house.

Talk about a UK partnership

Selected work.

Halal isn't only on the label.

It shapes how a brand speaks, who it shows and how it earns trust.

Casting. Clothing. Family. Food. Styling. Copy. Representation.

We don't just advise brands. We've built them.

Atif Tanvir and his team have built, scaled and sold businesses of their own. We know how to create demand, because we have done it with our own money.

We also made the film for Muslim Aid's 40th anniversary gala, and took a children's brand to a London tech exhibition.

  1. Build, scale, sell

    a UK business, built over 12 years and sold

  3. Create

Frequently asked questions.

What does Cre8Aura do?

We are a London strategy and creative studio. We help brands and organisations reach Muslim audiences in the UK, and help halal brands from abroad launch here, with market insight and positioning first, then the film, animation and content that make people notice.

Who do you work with?

UK brands and charities that want to reach Muslim audiences, halal food and consumer brands, and businesses from the Gulf and wider OIC coming to the UK.

How does a UK market entry project start?

Usually with our UK Market Entry Sprint. Over two to four weeks we look at the market, the audience and your competitors, then agree your positioning and a launch plan.

Do you make the films and animation yourselves?

Yes. Brand films, animated stories, launch campaigns and social content are all made in-house, so strategy and creative stay joined up.

Do you build websites and online stores?

Yes. We design and build websites and Shopify stores ourselves, starting from the positioning work, so the site says the right things before we make it look good. We set up pre-orders, international checkout, duties and tracking, because we've had to do all of it for our own brands.

Where are you based?

London. We work with brands and charities across the UK and with businesses coming here from the Gulf and further afield.
