Sligro Marketing Team
Local opportunties lost to slow marketing
Sligro Food Group leads the foodservice market with over 50 branches nationwide. Their true distinction lies in the dedication of local managers, who forge genuine, lasting partnerships with food professionals in their communities.
This strong local connection presented a unique marketing challenge: while managers frequently launched targeted events and promotions for their customers, national marketing remained too broad to resonate locally and drive meaningful results.
This created challenges on both sides:
- Locations relied on headquarters for every piece of local marketing
- The central marketing team spent countless hours adapting assets for the regions
- Valuable chances to connect with local audiences weren’t captured
- Strategic marketing took a back seat as day-to-day execution claimed attention
Local marketing in minutes, not weeks
Marvia empowered Sligro with a dynamic marketing platform, giving every location the freedom to quickly create, order, and schedule their own campaigns, no waiting on headquarters required.
What changed:
- Location managers now create their own invitations and promotional materials for local events
- Social media: instantly publish branded, themed posts or craft custom content to fit their local audience
- Ordering national in-store marketing assets is simple and intuitive
- A smart calendar provides clear visibility into every upcoming event and campaign, making planning easier

Local flexibility & brand control
Location managers can now act quickly on local opportunities and invest more time in building real relationships with customers; free from endless back-and-forth with headquarters.
With operational burdens lifted, the central marketing team drives strategy and growth, while Sligro enjoys a powerful, unified brand presence and stronger engagement at every local level.

Why this works
Sligro proves that true marketing success starts by uniting on-the-ground local knowledge with central brand control.
Now Sligro enjoys the best of both worlds: local branches can act fast on regional opportunities with instant on-brand assets, while headquarters maintains clear oversight and strategic direction.
