Also, the community joined hands with outstanding support activities such as Rice ATM, 0-dong supermarket, dragon fruit bread. At the same time, the Ministry of Health encouraged people with a media campaign “Staying at home is happy” or a creative song of Covid-19 “Ghen Co Vy”, which has become popular with the international community for its impressive meaning and melody. Thus Vietnam becomes significantly different from other countries, whose number of infected cases and deaths is constantly increasing.Īdditionally, Vietnam quickly carried out the control of information by preventing fake news and then propagating preventive measures. Until now, there have been no reported deaths in Vietnam. As a leading Vietnamese technology company, CocCoc has made timely contributions to the fight against Covid-19 in Vietnam.ĭespite having a wide border with China, Vietnam is currently one of the very few countries that has controlled the Covid-19 epidemic effectively with prompt and drastic policies of social distancing. To contribute to this success, businesses, especially technology companies, have taken numerous practical actions. The campaign has been well received in its first week with 729,078 media impressions, 8,818 click-through and 380,730 new browsers installed.Vietnam has made efforts over recent months to implement measures of Covid-19 prevention and achieved extremely positive results.

Planned media activities include web and video banner ads, keyword search ads, browser skin and PR (across 30 leading Vietnamese media channels and platforms). At Isobar, we believe in the power of creativity to not only transform brands and businesses but to also do good for society and this is one of the ways we can help the communities we live in.”Ī media campaign was also designed by Isobar and is currently running till the end of June 2017. This is an idea that can easily be adapted by other browsers with private browsing / incognito mode. Rajib Gupta, Creative Director of Isobar Vietnam, said, “Alzheimer’s is a growing problem in Vietnam and “The Forgetting Tab” is a simple, yet innovative approach to generate awareness, especially in a country with massive internet users (51.5 per cent of the population). And, who knows? It might perhaps inspire one of our many young users to go to university, study neuroscience, and even invent a cure in the future.” We hope that our campaign can get people talking and help better the situation for the many sufferers and their caregivers. Victor Lavrenko, CEO of Cốc Cốc, said, “Cốc Cốc decided to partner with Isobar on building awareness for Alzheimer’s because while the disease is severe, there is no cure at present. Given there is a stigma associated with the disease, many sufferers usually do not seek treatment or admit to having it, therefore there is a possibility that the numbers of sufferers could be much higher.Ĭốc Cốc also hopes to encourage more sufferers to come forward and seek treatment as a way to slow down the debilitative process of Alzheimer’s, and give more precious time to them and their families.
The Forgetting Tab is a project which reminds people to help those who forget, to learn more about the disease and to be more sympathetic to those who suffer from it.ĭespite almost half a million Vietnamese currently suffering from Alzheimer’s, awareness of the disease and its symptoms is still very low. The film was scripted and produced by Isobar Vietnam with the help of production company, Yeti Films, and directed by award-winning Tibetan filmmaker, Tsering Tashi Gyalthang.īut why ‘The Forgetting Tab’? The reason is simple: for some users of Cốc Cốc, it’s their choice to forget, but for Alzheimer’s patients, they have no chance to remember the precious things or memories they’ve had in their life. Users could then click through to learn more about the disease and care. Essentially, they are not remembered.Ĭốc Cốc has renamed their private browser ‘The Forgetting Tab’ and is presenting users who want to surf incognito with an emotional message (via film) about Alzheimer’s, in the hope of bringing people’s attention to this serious, life-debilitating disease that affects not just the patients but also their caregivers. When using incognito mode, or private browsing, the pages viewed do not stick around in the browser history, cookie store or search history after the tab is closed. It uses Cốc Cốc’s existing incognito mode to call attention to the forgetfulness that characterises the disease. Vietnam’s internet browser Cốc Cốc has introduced ‘The Forgetting Tab’, a creative campaign conceptualised by Isobar Vietnam to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s disease amongst Vietnamese.
