The brands, selected by newspaper readers, specialise in various fields – services, tourism, trading, and real estate, including food producers Vissan, Nutifood, and Vinh Thanh Dat, supermarkets Co.opmart and Big C, tour operators Saigontourist and Ben Thanh tourist and Vietnam Airlines.

A total of 18 brand names that have won the award on consecutive years received the “Golden Brand Name” prize.
