Ho Thuy Tien and Thue Quist Thomassen from market research agency Decision Lab return to You Don’t Know Vietnam to break down their latest Connected Consumer Report — and what it means for brands.

From the rise of Xanh SM to the blurring lines between e-wallets and banking apps, this episode is full of insights for anyone looking to stay ahead in Vietnam’s fast-moving digital landscape.Send us Fan MailIf you enjoy this conversation or think someone in your network could find value in it, please share it and hit follow to get notified when the next episode drops.
