             PR encompass the trustworthiness of
             the brand

             PR reduces risk such as rumors and
             harmful information
Trust is not just about you
      and the brand !
   Trust is established not only based on
   an actor's own experiences (individual
   trust), but also based on the trust that
        other actors (collective trust)
Family, friends and society

I recommend…
Understand the Vietnamese
consumers

Choose right Match-makers

Make sure the consumer
experience is consistent
inside out
Brand Trust model
In concrete…
an interpersonal relationship

managed by individuals but influenced
by the society

varies for different level of relationship

It takes great time and effort to make
sure that we understand the other well
and be able share a good lifetime
experience

               It happens the same to brand trust…
simply place the name of
the brand into the person,
 we will see how we trust
         the brand
