MARVIA VS BRANDMUSCLE

Brands with distributed teams get:

  • The ability to turn any InDesign file into a brand template
  • Automatic content personalization based on each user's location and role
  • Marketing coordination tools like a calendar and creative request system

"All you need for distributed marketing in one platform"

 

StefanLocal Store Marketing Manager - Domino's Pizza
We're seeing differences in the performance of stores that are active on a local level and stores that are not. The participating stores turn out to have better performance, not only in sales and order growth but also in profitability.
JennaMarketing Director - Boston Pizza
“It’s a true partnership. Marvia is always bringing new ideas and developments forward to offer value and benefits for our brand. They are also willing to invest in development that we need and see as valuable, especially when they think it will benefit their other partners."
Courtney VP of Marketing - Kidstrong
"Marvia has always been super responsive ... Anything that we have sent them, it's always a positive, 'we'll figure out a solution for that.' I don't think I've ever heard a ‘no’ ... Marvia always comes to the table with a solution, which I think is the most important thing in a partnership."
Stephanie Director of Branding - The WAC
"I like that it's a global company that still has more of a personal touch. You know, Marvia's not just like a cookie cutter ... They just seem like a good group of people."
WalimeJohnny's Burgers
"All restaurants are now provided with the right Johnny's Burger marketing materials. We have a much better on-brand visibility on all channels: in-store, offline, and online. Marvia's solutions offer a scalable marketing tool to support Johnny's Burger in national growth." 
RosalindaMarketing & Communication Advisor
Using Marvia not only saves us a lot of time, but we also know for sure that the communications are fully in line with our brand identity. Very important, especially in a franchise organization! Marvia is easy to use: our franchisees can easily and quickly find all the information they need to get started with their local marketing. Furthermore, Marvia is always developing, so the platform always remains up to date.
