56 Changing attitudes Source: TNS VietCycle - Vietnam s Lifestyle Monitor

57 Brand Attitudes A recognizable brand is something I can trust International brands are of higher quality The brands I use often impress my friends The country of origin is more important than the brand name VC-2004, n=1320 VC-2001, n=1232 VC 1999n=1304 Vietnamese are becoming much more brand savvy

Associational advertising has not yet taken route,, en mass. Vietnamese are much, much more receptive to foreign cultures and values,, but prefer to Vietnamize them. Vietnamese are very, very, very optimistic about the future, but in a realistic manner.
