📢 Marketing Trends as of May 2025
As of 2025 May, New Zealand’s social media game remains strong with TikTok leading the charge for younger audiences. Kiwi brands like Allbirds and Trelise Cooper have been experimenting with TikTok influencers, but many creators are keen to scale beyond local shores. Vietnam’s digital ad spend is forecast to hit record highs, with advertisers hungry for fresh voices that can resonate with their younger, trend-savvy crowd.
Vietnam’s TikTok scene is buzzing with creators and brands keen to tap into global aesthetics and stories. That’s where New Zealand bloggers come in — with their unique storytelling styles, strong English skills, and authenticity, they can bring a fresh vibe to Vietnamese campaigns.
💡 How Can New Zealand TikTok Bloggers Collaborate With Vietnam Advertisers?
-
Understand the Vietnamese Audience
Vietnamese TikTok users respond well to content that’s fun, upbeat, and culturally tuned. Kiwi bloggers who can sprinkle in some local flavour — like NZ slang, outdoor adventures, or eco-conscious themes — but package it with universal appeal, will stand out. For example, a Kiwi travel blogger showcasing Vietnam’s scenic spots while tying in New Zealand’s eco-tourism can intrigue both markets. -
Use the Right Platforms to Connect
While TikTok is the main battleground, platforms like Zalo (Vietnam’s homegrown chat app) and Facebook remain relevant for outreach and networking. New Zealand bloggers can find Vietnamese advertisers via platforms like BaoLiba, which specialises in cross-border influencer marketing and supports multiple languages and currencies, easing communication and deal-making. -
Payment and Currency Considerations
Kiwi bloggers should be aware that Vietnam uses the Vietnamese dong (VND), but most advertisers are comfortable paying in USD or NZD through international payment gateways like PayPal, Wise, or even direct bank transfers. Setting up these payment methods in advance smooths operations and avoids delays. -
Legal and Cultural Compliance
Vietnam has strict advertising laws about content, especially around health products, finance, and alcohol. Bloggers must ensure content aligns with Vietnamese regulations — which BaoLiba often helps with via local legal consultancy. Respecting cultural norms (like avoiding politically sensitive topics) is crucial to maintaining a good rep. -
Content Localisation
Collaborators need to localise their content for Vietnamese viewers. This might mean adding Vietnamese subtitles, using local hashtags, or even adapting TikTok trends popular in Vietnam. It’s not just about translation — it’s about context and cultural relevance.
📊 Case in Point: Kiwi Influencer Success Stories
Take Mia from Auckland, a lifestyle TikToker with 150k followers, who teamed up with a Hanoi-based skincare brand last year. By blending her natural Kiwi charm with the brand’s Vietnamese identity, her videos hit over 1 million views, leading to a solid sales bump for the client. Payments were handled smoothly via Wise, and Mia credits BaoLiba’s platform for making the whole process seamless.
Similarly, Wellington’s eco-warrior blogger, Josh, partnered with a Vietnamese sustainable fashion label. By showcasing both countries’ commitment to green living, Josh expanded his audience while helping the brand tap into Kiwi consumers eyeing Vietnamese products.
❗ Risks and How to Dodge Them
- Language Barriers: Even if TikTok content is in English, some Vietnamese advertisers expect bilingual communication. Use translators or platforms that offer native support.
- Payment Scams: Always use trusted platforms like BaoLiba or secure payment methods to avoid getting stiffed.
- Cultural Missteps: Do your homework on Vietnamese customs and ad rules. When in doubt, ask local experts.
- Contract Clarity: Have clear, written agreements on deliverables, timelines, and payments. Nothing worse than chasing invoices across time zones.
