Optimalisasi Digital Branding dalam Meningkatkan Daya Saing Bank Syariah di Era Ekonomi Digital

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative method to analyze the optimization of digital branding strategies in enhancing the competitiveness of Islamic banks in the digital economy era. Changes in consumer behavior, advancements in information technology, and increasing competition in the banking sector are the main factors driving the importance of digital branding as a modern marketing strategy. Islamic banks are required not only to comply with Sharia principles but also to adapt to digital transformation dynamics to maintain their relevance. This study explores various elements of digital branding such as digital visual identity, social media interaction, and brand narratives based on Islamic values that help shape positive consumer perceptions. The findings reveal that Islamic banks that consistently implement digital branding strategies are more likely to build customer loyalty, increase brand awareness, and create strong differentiation from conventional competitors. These findings affirm that digital branding is not merely a promotional tool but a strategic instrument in building public trust and brand image in the rapidly evolving digital transformation era.
