confectionery company which is one of the three largest food corporations in South Korean (Wikipedia) This company established in 1956 then coming to Vietnam since 1997 with the first representative office located in Ho Chi Minh city In 2005, the company has officially laid the foundations of Orion Vina Food Company Ltd They have owned two factories that located in two main regions of Vietnam which are Binh Duong province and Bac Ninh province (Orion Vina, 2022) Through over the course of 20 years, Orion has been trying their best to localize their products in order to connect closely with Vietnamese culture Vision Orion set the aim to become the No.1 confectionery company in Vietnam Coming along is the goal of transforming successfully itself to be a sustainable business through transparency in production and business reporting Their long-term goal calls for a series of actions from operation to manufacturing or sale in order to grow the business while maintaining

dignify the differentiate spirit as the main competitiveness Phạm Nguyệt Nhi 19071455 1.2 Target Audience The main target customers of Orion tends to children who have the high preference for sweets and cakes Besides, after researching on Vietnamese customer purchasing behavior, Orion acknowledge the nation’s gifting culture plays a key role in their daily basis, especially during holiday season Therefore, the company designs their goods to be gifts for all families in Vietnam The income range is from medium to high because Orion position their products as premium confectionery II Micro-environment analysis With an annual production of over 150 thousand tons and revenue of about 42 thousand billion dong in 2019, it is evident that Vietnam's confectionery business continues to grow at a high and steady rate (Cesti, 2019) Although Vietnamese consumers are quite complaisant, they have a strict preference for affordable and foreign products That means they tend to choose products with clear origins, charismatic manufacturers with reasonable prices Orion is one of companies has adapted quickly with the strong development of digital marketing The following section will be a thorough SWOT analysis for Orion during the digital age 2.1 Strengths - Being one of the first confectionery corporations owning production factories in Vietnam, Orion Vina has accounted for 60% shares with the main goods is Chocopie Orion that means the company has a strong brand reputation in Vietnam (Y Nhi, 2017) - With a huge initial investment from the parent company, all of Orion Vina’s factories are built and opated according to the food safety and hygiene standards of American Institute of Banking which a strict standard (Nhu Thuy, 2021) - Their communication strategy has a high effectiveness as they joined passionately in sponsoring for TV shows and social activities Also, they invest a lot of money on public advertisemnet such as bus advertising, airport,… Phạm Nguyệt Nhi 19071455 2.2 Weaknesses - There is a shortage of skilled human resource in Vietnam while the demand to adapt changeable market is growing faster and becoming more strict like nowadays - As children and young people are their main target customers who easily change their eating preference and prefer to try out different new baked goods, the company’s churn rate is high - Except for Chocopie, the brand perception of other product lines is quite low because their packaging has a similar design to Chocopie 2.3 Opportunities - Most domestic rivals are weak and small as well as not so good at advertising products - Vietnamese income tends to increase in recent years which makes a perfect opportunity to approach new markets - Orion products are often preferred to be a gift collection during Tet holiday so that they could perform cross-sell to encourage customer buy more than 1,2 product types 2.4 Threats - An increasing number of new confectionery companiess coming to Vietnam would make the market competition more intensive - Customers choice are affected a lot by attractive packaging of new competitive products in the market - The competition of advertising on official channels like TV tends to be fierce during year-end holiday Phạm Nguyệt Nhi 19071455 Part B - Year-end Holiday Marketing Campaign “Người Trong Nghề - Nghề Trong Tết” I - Goal setting Increasing the brand image of willing to communicate to acquire a deeper understanding of customers' insight This goal could be achieved by short interviewing video uploading on Tiktok - Promoting customers’ awareness about brand’s e-commerce platforms as well as other product lines to get their feedback and research on their behaviour by directly advertising the campaign on social media platforms The campaign would need to reach 100,000 visitors on the Internet and 5,000 direct customers after 2-month launch - The main content of campaign would help the brand to understand various types of customers and their job during Tet holiday by conducting an interview Spearding the positive perspective about different jobs running through the holiday by asking optimistic questions in the interview II Segmentation and targeting This campaign tends to bring different perspectives from many jobs running during Tet holiday which is supposed to have days off and stay by family or friends Besides, the main products of company are sweets and cakes which are the type of foods carrying out a positive attitude to everyone takes it So that the target audiences are not only children and teenagers, they could be adults who are shouldering a huge responsibiliy of works and family looking for a tender treatment The main stage for this campaign would perform mostly on social platforms in order to increasing the brand perception in e-commerce platforms so that the target audiences are those who are active on digital and social medias Therefore, they could be teenagers and adults aged from 19 – 45 that are into sweets The income range is from low to medium because this products type should not sell with a high price This measure is based on Vietnamese perception in confectionery expense to set an appropriate plan for price strategy Moreover, if they are too occupied with their work to prepare Tet’s gifts to their loved ones, the special gift collection in this campaign would the cherish mission on behalf of them Phạm Nguyệt Nhi 19071455 III Offer and key messages A research on different jobs running during Tet will be conducted to get the information of typical person of each job Then looking for who are willing to be interviewees and they will share their stories and their feelings with the job during Tet The campaign seeks a way to spread positive energy to the community through optimistice point of views and amazing stories Not because they are working during Tet holiday or having fewer days off means that they feel sorrowful or being abandoned The key message of the campaign is that people may have a hopeful vision in any situation or in everything they and be strong enough to focus on what they believe to be more important However, Tet holiday is meant to give Vietnamese time spending with their family so that the interview could encourage children and young people to appreciate their parents’ hardwork and sacrifices Therefore, they could give brand products as their wishes to their parents Speaking of confectioneries, the chances of the pictures catching customers eyes faster than the product descriptions are very high (Sasha B., 2022) Therefore, the special gift collection launching in this campaign will be designed with an eye-catching appearance related to Tet holiday which includes Vietnamese cultural spirits such as phrases related to tranquility and luck and the animal designation The collection would be used as a gift to customers’ relatives and friends which include boxes of cakes (Chocopie, Custas, C’est Bon, Gouté, Rice), differnt packes of candies, and a bottle of Jeju water In addition, for people participated in the interview, each of them will receive a gift collection and 500,000 VND Phạm Nguyệt Nhi 19071455 IV Selecting the digital media mix The digital media mix used for this campaign would include social media, television, and podcast The rapid development of social media will make the campaign engage with numerous clients demographics at various stage of purchasing easier, especially on the e-commerce As the target audiences in this campaign are young people and who are active on the Internet, this method may be useful in grabbing the users’ attention The brief interview video could be edited with the key message and hashtag #OrionVina #NgheTrongTet before being released on Tiktok – one of the most popular platforms in attention-getting capability This approach would be the most heartfelt way to engage customers because it’ll be designed as short stories with emotional factors Also, it will allow the company learn more about customers’ experience by gathering their responses through comments, shares A research shows that 57% of viewers are more likely to search for brand information online when they connect with businesses on TikTok (Tiktok, 2022) Besides, those stories and messages will also post on the company’s Facebook and Instagram page to gain the prestige from customers and inform them more about the products The time required to place ads on these platforms is not too long enough to still be able to assure the quality of ads Podcasts are one of the last unexplored formats, at scale, in Vietnam So brands can be amongst the first to establish leadership with a growing audience by seriously investing in podcasts Source: Q&Me Phạm Nguyệt Nhi 19071455 Source: Decision Lab, 2022

provoke a positive reaction in a way that makes people feel emotionally connected to the company Although these people are working hard even in the holidays, they still spread an optimistic energy to the community Their jobs are made to ensure the majority to have a great experience when celebrating holidays Young people who are potential viewers would fill with gratitude of their parents’ hard work Educate Since the target audiences are people who take sweets as a tender treatment after a long day of works, this content would demonstrate how positive the ingredients inside sweets will affect people’s mind and feelings This content can help people feel calm when using Orion’s products and ultimately help turn them into loyal consumers Remaining a good mood is important to everyone
