Intangible cultural heritage, which includes traditions, rituals, and expressions inherited from ancestors, offers unique opportunities to differentiate products and services in a competitive environment. Through an extensive analysis of existing studies, this review identifies key issues, strategies, and outcomes related to the integration of ICH into marketing practices. The findings suggest that integrating ICH into marketing enhances brand identity and authenticity and promotes community involvement and heritage conservation. However, the review also highlights challenges, such as the risk of cultural commodification and the need for ethical approaches to marketing practices.
