A bit about MRM Global
MRM Global is a marketing technology company, enabling global drinks brands such as Bacardi, Diageo and Carlsberg to transform the way they support their customers with printed and digital marketing. Our innovative Hyble application enables sales reps for major drinks brands to quickly and easily create high-quality marketing materials that utilise the power of their global brands with customised and relevant messaging. The benefit to our clients is increased brand visibility and sales, through fantastic looking menus, printed marketing and digital assets. The value of our product combines easy-to-use design software, high quality templates, and on-demand printing, to give users an effective end-product in as little time as possible. Our goal is to get sales reps creating more customised marketing and selling more of their products as a result, whilst also reducing waste and saving the planet! One of the key benefits of our product is that it helps drinks brands to reduce waste from the use of mass-printed marketing. Our legacy product is currently used in over 30 countries, with our new Hyble app being rolled out to our customers worldwide in 2023. We have recently won our biggest contract yet with the largest drinks distributor in the US and as a result we are expanding our product team to help us quickly adapt and improve Hyble to customer needs.
