Marvia vs Frontify

The Frontify alternative for franchise marketers

Frontify is built for enterprise teams that need one place to store and customize digital assets. But franchise and multi-location brands need more than storage to drive local marketing results. Frontify isn't built for franchise marketing execution. Marvia is.

Why franchise marketers choose Marvia over Frontify:

Manage franchise marketing from campaign planning to local execution in one platform
Automatically populate location-specific details to on-brand content
Get built-in Social Campaigns, Creative Requests, Marketing Calendar, and Marketing Shop

Schedule your personalized demo

CourtneyVP 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."
