EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In the highly competitive digital entertainment market in Vietnam, VieON a
product of DatVietVAC is strengthening its position as a leading digital content
platform thanks to its licensed Vietnamese content and personalized technology.
This report focuses on analyzing VieON’s marketing strategy through four main
parts: market description, product review, review of competition, and review of
distribution, to provide a clearer view of VieON’s operations in the Vietnamese OTT
market. Based on the SWOT and the Marketing Mix (4Ps), our team will examine
VieON’s internal capabilities and business environment by identifying its strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, while also reviewing product, pricing,
distribution channels, and promotional activities.
This report aims to apply learned knowledge to real-world analysis and provide
practical recommendations to help VieON strengthen its competitive advantages and
maintain its leading position in Vietnam’s digital entertainment industry.

CHAPTER 1: CURRENT MARKETING SITUATION
1.1 Market description
VieON operates in the Vietnamese OTT market, serving domestic audiences and
overseas Vietnamese who want legal content, multi-device access, and cultural
connection. Since 2025, VieON Global has reached over 6 million overseas Vietnamese
in 130+ countries, including the U.S., Australia, Japan, and South Korea. With
Vietnamese content supported by bilingual or multilingual subtitles, the platform helps
overseas users stay connected to their roots and introduces Vietnamese culture to
international viewers.
1.2 Product review
Launched in 2020, VieON offers licensed TV dramas, movies, game shows, and
reality shows through the DatVietVAC Eco-Complex. Popular programs include Anh
trai “Say Hi”, Em xinh “Say Hi”, and 2 Ngày 1 Đêm Vietnam. Beyond VOD, it provides
140+ TV channels, HBO Go, and sports content. VieON applies AI and Big Data for
recommendations, uses DRM for security, and maintains stable streaming across
devices. The global version adds multilingual subtitles and works with overseas
distributors to expand reach.
5
1.3 Review of competition
VieON competes with Netflix, VTV Go, DANET, and iQIYI. While these
platforms attract viewers with trending titles, VieON differentiates through strong
Vietnamese game-show content. Despite ranking fourth in early 2023, by 2025 it
became the most discussed entertainment app online with about 990,000 mentions,
showing strong growth in a highly competitive market.
1.4 Review of distribution
VieON is available on mobile app, website, and Smart TV, offering consistent
streaming. Besides online access, it organizes offline events, such as the 2025 VieON
All-Star Championship in Ho Chi Minh City and the “Say Hi” Brother show in Las
Veg as . F utu re plans include online fan meetings and cultural events to reach overseas
communities and reinforce brand presence.
6
CHAPTER 2: SWOT ANALYSIS
2.1. Strengths
2.1.1. Customer experience
Through its API-based data system, VieON can understand user needs and
preferences. The company also develops a recommendation system to suggest suitable
content for each customer group. This makes VieON stand out by fully using digital
strengths and understanding customer profiles. Besides online services, VieON also
creates offline experiences such as press events, fan meetings, and live shows. These
activities help build brand awareness and bring diverse revenue sources.
2.1.2. Marketing strategy
VieON promotes its brand through platforms like Facebook, Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok. Unlike other companies that rely heavily on frequent ads, VieON
uses the image of influencers to engage the public.
2.1.3. Vietnamese cultural value
When first launched, VieON aimed to bring Vietnamese cultural and social
stories to viewers in a friendly and modern way. This quickly attracted interest and
support. To continue spreading Vietnamese culture, especially to overseas Vietnamese,
VieON launched VieON Global in early 2024, offering a free one-month trial with extra
benefits.
2.2. Weaknesses
2.2.1. Consumer trends:
Consumer trends and the market can change very quickly, which may make
VieON’s business strategies outdated or no longer suitable. VieON still faces high costs
for content production and licensing, while the number of users willing to pay in
7
Vietnam is still low. Many viewers prefer free options, so they often choose illegal
streaming sites instead of paying for legal platforms.
2.2.2. Copyright policies:
Competition and the fight for content rights can increase costs and create legal
risks for VieON. Copyright issues may affect content supply and cause financial loss.
2.3. Opportunities
2.3.1. Large domestic market
With Vietnamese language and familiar features, most Vietnamese users prefer
apps made by local companies. Investors are also increasingly prioritizing Vietnamese
products and services (“Vietnamese use Vietnamese goods”). This helps VieON reduce
challenges when competing with foreign platforms.
2.3.2. Growth of interactive features
Interactive functions such as livestreams and real-time comments help users
connect more with each other. This is a promising direction to attract young audiences.
If VieON keeps improving technology, diversifying content, and strengthening
interactive features, future growth potential will be high.
2.4. Threats
VieON must deal with widespread copyright infringement, changes in content
regulations, and rising licensing costs, especially for sports and live shows.
Moreover, VieON is facing many strong competitors such as Netflix, VTV Go,
DANET, and iQIYI. These platforms own streaming rights to many popular movies,
making them direct competitors of VieON.
8
CHAPTER 3: OBJECTIVES
- VieON Global aims to expand its reach, build more international partnerships,
and enter 20 major markets in the near future.
- It will boost its “online to offline” (O2O) strategy by holding real-life events
concerts, tournaments, and fan meetingsto increase user interaction and
loyalty. VieON will use AI and Big Data more deeply, improve streaming quality,
and personalize content to give users a better experience.
- VieON wants to be a cultural bridge between Vietnam and Vietnamese people
worldwide, so Vietnamese content can reach more global audiences. The
platform will grow its licensed content library, add multi-language subtitles, and
work with international distributors to spread Vietnamese culture.

This helped strengthen big-screen usage and household adoption.

attracting tens of thousands. Activities such as Anh Trai “Say Hi” performances in the

CHAPTER 5: BUDGETS
Not Available
13
CHAPTER 6: CONTROLS
6.1. User Monitoring
VieON tracks key metrics such as MAU (Monthly Active Users), paid
subscribers, retention rate, and watch time. The platform also collaborates with
MoEngage to analyze user behavior and optimize conversion rates.
6.2. Marketing Campaign Evaluation

Through Rate), Conversion Rate, CPA (Cost per Acquisition), and ROMI (Return on
Marketing Investment). These metrics help adjust messages, channels, and budgets
accordingly.

to assess the attractiveness of each program and replace underperforming content.
6.4. Financial Control

6.5. User Feedback
VieON collects feedback through ratings, social media, and surveys (CSAT,
NPS) to detect and improve viewer experience early.
14
CHAPTER 7: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1. Evaluation
Overall, VieON has built a strong position in Vietnam’s digital content market
thanks to its deep understanding of local tastes and a rich library of Vietnamese content.
However, the platform still faces big challenges: high production and licensing costs, a
low share of paying users, and heavy competition from global OTT services. To keep
its advantage, VieON should go deeper on localization, stay user-centric, diversify
revenue streams, and improve technical performance.
7.2. Recommendation
7.2.1. Develop region-based content
VieON should study culture and user preferences in each region to produce
content that fits local tastes. It can also partner with local creators to make unique shows
that attract regional audiences. Marketing strategies should be tailored to each region.
7.2.2. Improve user features
Upgrading the mobile experience is key because over 70% of Vietnamese people
access the internet via smartphones. A good example is a “VieON Lite Mode” that lets
users adjust video quality, pre-download on Wi-Fi, and watch offline to save data. This
suits users in areas with weak networks or low-spec devices, helping VieON increase
reach, extend watch time, and reduce churn. This approach shows a commitment to
serving all audience groups and strengthens VieON’s image as a flexible, friendly,
locally focused Vietnamese platform.

CHAPTER 7: EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 7.1. Evaluation
Overall, VieON has built a strong position in Vietnam’s digital content market
thanks to its deep understanding of local tastes and a rich library of Vietnamese content.
However, the platform still faces big challenges: high production and licensing costs, a
low share of paying users, and heavy competition from global OTT services. To keep
its advantage, VieON should go deeper on localization, stay user-centric, diversify
revenue streams, and improve technical performance. 7.2. Recommendation
7.2.1. Develop region-based content
VieON should study culture and user preferences in each region to produce
content that fits local tastes. It can also partner with local creators to make unique shows
that attract regional audiences. Marketing strategies should be tailored to each region.
7.2.2. Improve user features
Upgrading the mobile experience is key because over 70% of Vietnamese people
access the internet via smartphones. A good example is a “VieON Lite Mode” that lets
users adjust video quality, pre-download on Wi-Fi, and watch offline to save data. This
suits users in areas with weak networks or low-spec devices, helping VieON increase
reach, extend watch time, and reduce churn. This approach shows a commitment to
serving all audience groups and strengthens VieON’s image as a flexible, friendly,
locally focused Vietnamese platform. 14
