These metrics are in three categories, Media and Communication, Brand Perception, and Purchase Funnel.

The data is taken from YouGov BrandIndex, a syndicated brand tracker that continuously collects data on hundreds of brands in Vietnam daily.
Bách Hoá Xanh (BHX) is Vietnam’s Biggest Brand Mover in April 2023.
Mobile World Group's (MWG) retail chain improved in 10 out of 13 categories: Media and Communication (Buzz), Brand Perception (Impression, Value, Reputation, Satisfaction, Recommendation, and Quality), and Purchase Funnel (Consideration, Purchase Intent, and Current Customer).
Early in April, Mr Pham Van Trong became the new acting CEO of BHX. The appointment ended the time when Mr Nguyen Duc Tai, chairman of MWG, directly ran BHX. During Mr Tai's time in charge, the chain underwent a thorough restructuring process. This included changing the layout and arrangement of stores, reviewing and getting rid of ineffective products, and repositioning the brand from a modern grocery store to a mini supermarket.
The top spot on the Biggest Brand Mover chart shows that Bach Hoa Xanh's strategy to restructure has so far been successful. After reorganising, the number of BHX stores dropped by nearly 20%, to 1,728 by 2022, but its first-quarter sales went up by 5% from the same time last year. Mr Tai said that BHX would promote its online channel to attract young and busy customers. BHX's online channel grew by 19%, making up 3% of the chain's revenue.
Kotex is the runner-up, with the personal care brand scoring upticks in eight metrics across the Media and Communication, Brand Perception and Purchase Funnel categories. Nguyễn Kim takes third place, with the retail chain seeing improvements in six metrics across all three categories.
