Mondelēz International Joins Forces with Accenture and Publicis Groupe to Advance AI-Powered Marketing Capabilities
September 26 2024 - 4:05PM
Mondelēz International (Nasdaq: MDLZ) today announced the launch of
a new platform designed to improve its global marketing
capabilities while optimizing consumer experiences through expanded
use of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (gen AI).
Working in collaboration with Accenture (NYSE: ACN) and Publicis
Groupe, the company’s new platform will enable faster, more
efficient creation of personalized text, images and videos –
helping the company’s brands stay a step ahead of rapidly changing
consumer tastes and interests.
“Harnessing the power of gen AI will empower our people to play
a proactive role in how our brands show up in the market,” said Jon
Halvorson, Senior Vice President, Global Consumer Experiences and
Digital Commerce at Mondelēz. “This drives real value for the
business through creating, personalizing and distributing on-trend
creative not only at pace, but also safely, securely and with brand
integrity.”
Building on its long partnership with Mondelēz, Accenture
established a strong digital core enabling the company to collect
and process real-time data — using gen AI to create new,
contextualized insights — that can be easily accessed, shared and
used by decision makers across the company. Going forward,
Accenture will help scale and activate this platform through
employee training and adoption strategies.
“As curators of some of the world’s most iconic brands, Mondelēz
marketers will be able to tap into the power of data, AI and gen AI
to drive innovation, gather audience and market insights, improve
behind-the-scenes processes, turbocharge measurement, conduct
near-real-time testing and facilitate higher degrees of
personalization at every consumer touchpoint,” said Venky Rao,
Americas & AI Lead and Global Client Account Lead for Mondelēz
at Accenture.
Publicis Groupe will be responsible for leading execution and
building the gen AI foundation that will power creative assets.
Both organizations will work closely with Mondelēz marketing teams
to realize the vision of redefining consumer goods marketing.
“Publicis is proud to be a transformation partner in this
journey, as part of our broader Power of One solution for Mondelēz,
and shares this same holistic approach – bringing the best
capabilities together to deliver a truly game-changing solution,
underpinned by best-in-class data and technology,” said Scott
Hagedorn, Global Chief Solutions Architect at Publicis Groupe.
The platform will be developed with leading design principles
within a responsible AI framework designed to ensure ethical and
legally compliant use.
