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 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.
MRM Global is a high growth scale-up business with customers in 35 countries with a team of 65 employees based in Europe, USA and Australia. MRM are backed by the UK's most active growth capital investor BGF who continue to support MRM in our continued growth.
Our next phase of growth is the most exciting yet as we scale the business in North America.
