A standing policy, not a decision made per campaign.
Vietnam's amended Advertising Law has made the person conveying an advertisement personally and jointly liable since 1 January 2026. Publishing this policy is not a marketing gesture — it is the operating licence, and it is applied the same way to every brand.

The label comes first, in the same medium
Every paid or incentivised collaboration opens with «Quảng cáo» or «Ad» — spoken as well as shown in video, visible before any «see more» cut, never buried in a bio or a comment. Platform tags alone are not treated as sufficient. UK guidance rejects «sponsored», «gifted», «in association with» and «ambassador» as too vague, so those words are not used as the label.

She has used it, or there is no campaign
A trial period is a named stage of every partnership, not a courtesy. Vietnamese law requires the person conveying an advertisement to have used the product or genuinely understand it; US guidance is blunter still — an endorsement must reflect the endorser's actual experience, and you cannot talk about your experience with a product you have not tried. If a trial is not possible, the collaboration does not proceed.

The advertiser and the paperwork get checked
Before anything is filmed or written, her team verifies who the advertiser actually is and reviews the product documentation. Regulated categories — functional foods, cosmetics, health products — additionally require the relevant certificates. Records are retained, because the law says the conveyor must produce the advertising documentation when a competent authority asks for it.

A firewall between brand work and the stage
No endorsement of a brand while a speaking engagement with a direct competitor is contracted, unless both sides are told in writing. Client confidentiality is absolute: internal programmes never become partnership content or case material. Category exclusivity is time-boxed and priced, never assumed. These three rules exist so an event organiser never has to wonder whether the keynote was bought.

Wording is hers, claims are yours
She writes in her own voice; a brand cannot hand over a script and expect it read out. In exchange, the brand approves every factual and regulatory claim before publication, because the brand is the one that can substantiate it. Tax on advertising income is handled by her side. Nothing is published without both signatures.
