Selecting Admation for Global Marketing Approvals

Operating in more than 150 countries, Mondelēz International sought an approval workflow solution to streamline LEGAL approvals for various marketing materials, including packaging, POS material, digital content, and television advertising. The system needed to offer high-level visibility, improve accuracy, and be adaptable to each region's unique marketing workflows.

In 2016, Admation successfully responded to Mondelēz International's software tender. As a result, admation was chosen to replace two legacy systems in North and South America. Furthermore, it was implemented across marketing departments in AMEA, Europe, and APAC.
