Vietrep Pulse #2: Vietnamese Advertisement - Highlights



Couple weeks ago, I read a quick interview article about Bob Jeffrey , Worldwide Chairman and CEO of JWT - the fourth largest advertising agency in the world, in Forbes Vietnam Magazine. He said some highlights about the Vietnamese advertisement landscape that is really worthy to keep in mind.

  1. The percentage of households having TV sets is 90 percent
  2. The average hours of daily watching TV are 229 mina (3 hours 49 mins, almost 2 Hollywood movies)
  3. For advertisers, Vietnamese countryside accounts 70 percentage of Vietnamese advertising market and TV is still a dominant advertisement channel to send their messages due to the broad spread.
  4. The challenge of Vietnamese companies is increasing the value of brand equity (giá trị thị trường của thương hiệu). TV is still an effective mechanism to build the brand equity.
  5. Watching TV is now happening on computers, laptops, and even smart phones.
  6. Technology doesn't kill the old-fashion media, but it supports the traditional media.
  7. Cool: JWT and advertisers are trying to create ideas that can transfer messages in different media platforms.
  8. Super Cool: The future of advertisement focuses on attracting consumers to participate in brand engagement and creating their own contents. Five years ago, nobody knows about brand engagement and retail activation; however, it's a real conversation between brand and consumers.
  9. JWT has 20 percent of revenue from non-traditional media. Therefore, they are focusing on acquiring those non-traditional media companies in digital media and retail activation
