The Growth Paradox: The Economy is Growing 8%. Why Doesn't your P&L Feel It?

Vietnam's growth story remains highly attractive. Strong economic expansion, a rising middle class, and growing investment inflows provide confidence that substantial opportunities lie ahead. Yet, despite these favorable fundamentals, many companies continue to face difficult operating conditions, including margin pressures, weak consumer demand, and an increasingly competitive marketplace. Understanding and addressing the gap between these positive macro trends and everyday business realities is critical, as this is where brands either build resilience and relevance or risk falling behind.

New Insight: AI and the Customer Journey — What’s Changing, and Who’s Ready

Customers now use AI to research, compare, and decide, often before they ever reach your site, and most of it never shows up in your analytics. Drawing on behavioral data across enterprise brands, the panel shows how the journey is actually changing, what marketers are doing to keep up, and whether they’re ready.

CMO Panel

Beyond Consistency: Building Brand Power Through Meaningful Moments

The world’s most iconic brands are no longer defined by consistency alone. They are built through meaningful moments that create emotional connections, inspire advocacy and earn a lasting place in people’s lives.

As AI, connected intelligence and new technologies reshape how consumers discover, experience and engage with brands, the challenge is no longer creating more content—it is creating more meaning. Technology should help brands better understand people, connect signals across an increasingly complex ecosystem and deliver experiences that feel relevant, authentic and emotionally resonant.

This panel will explore how marketing leaders are building flexible brand ecosystems that balance consistency with adaptability, combine human creativity with AI-powered intelligence, and transform insights into experiences that strengthen brand equity across every touchpoint.

Because in today’s world, brands don’t become iconic through repetition—they become iconic by creating moments that people remember, share and feel connected to.

The Insight Is Still Human

AI has industrialised every step of marketing except the first one. It can generate, target, test, personalise and optimise. It cannot tell you what a person is actually afraid of, what they will not admit in a survey, or why they say yes. And that single upstream judgment still determines whether everything downstream is worth running at all.

Building Brands That Earn Long-Term Impact

Great brands are shaped by every decision, every experience, and every promise kept over time. This session explores how marketing leaders are moving beyond short-term wins to create lasting relevance, trust, and influence. When purpose drives strategy and innovation sustains momentum, enduring impact becomes the natural result of getting the fundamentals right. For organizations ready to be resilient for what comes next.

AI Won’t Build Your Brand. Strategy Will.

Brands must now speak to two audiences: people and agentic systems. One responds to creativity, emotion, and cultural relevance; the other to structure, authority, and signal. For CMOs, this convergence demands strategic choices that define growth, differentiation, and brand value. This session clarifies the decisions that matter most.
