Our Purpose
At MRM Global, our purpose is to enable the world’s leading consumer brands to increase their sales and reduce wastage.
Up to 50% of physical marketing materials in the consumer goods industry are never executed and are instead sent to landfill, incinerated, or recycled. This wastes time, resources, money and most importantly has a huge negative impact on the environment.
At MRM Global, we believe there is a better way to support customers with physical point of sale marketing. We believe that the future is on-demand ordering, localised content, and distributed production.
Clients including as Bacardi, Diageo, Carlsberg, Pernod Ricard and Molson Coors use our Brand Creator technology platform to create customised and brand compliant marketing materials that are produced on-demand through our cloud printing network.
