Advertising is identified as one of Vietnam's 12 cultural industries. It receives attention from the State  to promote the image of the country and its people, and preserve cultural identity in the process of exchange, integration and international cooperation. Advertising activities are now shifting from traditional media such as outdoor and newspaper advertising to advertising on cyberspace.
