For more than 70
years, the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) has
provided essential services to the business community by promoting and
facilitating direct trade and investment between the UK and China. CBBC helps businesses by providing valuable market
data and facilitating high-level business contacts. Each year, the China-Scotland Business Awards are presented
during the Chinese Burns Supper. It is a
tradition that is important for celebrating the most successful Scotland-China connections and collaborations.
This event is a mixture of Scotland’s Burns Night and
the Chinese New Year. It is a formal event that enables
high-level interactions between senior business executives, government leaders,
and cultural representatives.
CCW’s Innovative Method
for Marketing Across Borders
CCW won a prize for marketing that creatively blended live festival
marketing with new China-facing digital narratives,
marketing both sides of youth influence storytelling and culturally immersive
festival programming. This won engagement from both the Scottish and Chinese people,
and helped the Scottish audiences access and
understand the Chinese markets.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the CCW campaign was creative online engagement for targeted cross-border online marketing. It also fostered online digital culture in a previously cross-globally cultural curiosity and marketing the digitally Scottish and Chinese Partnership.
A New Era of Cross-Cultural Engagement
The success
that CCW has received is attributed to emerging cross-cultural marketing initiatives that
successfully integrate some of the old ways of marketing and fuse it with new
approaches to gain a lasting impact. The recognition of the CCW initiative at the China-Scotland Business Awards further
demonstrates the ability of innovative marketing to improve and create new
opportunities in marketing and international relations. With a focus on
marketing, the CCW works of commercial
and cultural collaboration, the CCW initiative has raised the bar to set further
campaigns of marketing international collaborations in the future.
Impact of Chinese Culture Week on Scotland-China Relations
Winning the Marketing Campaign of the Year award shows how successful the Chinese Culture Week was in elevating the presence of Scotland in Chinese Culture. It also shows how important the cross-cultural marketing initiative is between Scotland and China, as it will further demonstrate the possible cultural and commercial cross-over that can happen in the future. Scotland is now well-positioned in the marketing initiative of Chinese Culture and is expected to further engage in this initiative in various other sectors.
The award for
the Chinese Culture Week campaign, celebrating Scottish and Chinese Culture Week,
is building the framework to strengthen cultural diplomacy for Scotland and China. There is more
to come in the areas of business and tourism, education, and the arts.
The Success of Chinese Culture Week
The good results
of the Chinese Culture Week, suggest plenty of more marketing and cultural initiatives to
come. Deploying marketing techniques aimed at
the youth and embracing the digital space will drive cultural exchanges and strengthen the Scotland-China relations.
The China–Scotland Business Awards is a good example
of the influence of a good marketing campaign on
relations between countries. The Chinese Culture Week brought marketing innovation to the Scotland-China relations and helped to strengthen
the cultural relations and the economic and the social relations of
the two countries.
To sum up,
the Chinese Culture Week has changed how the world
views the marketing of cultural events. By
combining the real and the virtual, the campaign offers a new dimension for the
world of cross-cultural marketing. In the ensuing years, the two
countries, Scotland and China, will find more avenues of collaborative marketing inspired by the campaign.
