Abstract

In the wake of the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, Canon discovered that a large number of folk artisans who knew the language and history of the Qiang people had been killed and countless Qiang cultural heritage destroyed. As a result, Canon decided to use its core imaging technology to help preserve intangible cultural heritage in impoverished areas through its “Image for Good Strategy”. In the following years, the Canon project team documented the intangible cultural heritage projects of dozens of ethnic groups, including the Qiang, Miao, Bai, Dai, Yi, Zhuang, Li, Naxi and Han Chinese. This paper takes the digital preservation project of intangible cultural heritage initiated by Canon in China as the object of study, and adopts a textual analysis method to analyse the brand’s cross-cultural marketing strategy by summarising Canon’s intangible heritage preservation projects, so as to provide indicative suggestions for Chinese enterprises’ cross-cultural marketing .
