OVERVIEW

To build brand awareness among Vietnam’s low-income, rural consumers, ITEL launched an ambitious activation campaign introducing 6 new mobile phone models.

The campaign’s core idea was to “Bring RED to the countryside” — symbolizing the brand’s dynamic energy and commitment to inclusive technology.

The strategy combined daytime mobile roadshows to create visibility across rural areas, with evening mini-events to encourage direct engagement, product interaction, and on-site conversions.

OFFICIAL ROLLOUT
