Best Practice Governance From Mars Chocolate U.K.
Mars Chocolate has established a Marketing Advisory Group to provide external guidance on our marketing activities, with a focus on responsible marketing. The Group is comprised of three independent experts: Baroness Jean Coussins, Hugh Burkitt (Chief Executive of The Marketing Society) and Christine Cork (an educational consultant). They offer perspectives from industry, advertising standards and the education sector. It is chaired by our U.K. Marketing Director and a Corporate Affairs representative, and meets quarterly to review all marketing activities against our Marketing Code and best practices. A similar cross-functional team meets regularly in North America to review marketing communications before they are approved for release.
