essential to the development of a country. A lot of county and city governments of Taiwan are engaged in the development
of cultural and creative industry due to the promotion of the national development strategy. The purpose of this study is to
construct the brand image of the cultural and creative industry in Miaoli. In addition, the cultural design components of

brand may further boost the economic growth of ceramics industry in Miaoli. Both qualitative and quantitative studies were

ceramics industry. The AHP (analytic hierarchy process) was applied to assess the consumers in order to construct each
priority of the components and therefore ideal brand name was suggested. The findings suggest that Miaoli Wood-fired
Ceramics came out as local ceramics brand image, which highlights the cultural and creative brands of ceramics in Miaoli
