Analyst Perspective
Mondelēz International is a large packaged food company focused on snacks, biscuits, chocolate, confectionery and gum. It owns and markets a portfolio of consumer brands sold primarily through supermarkets, convenience stores, wholesalers, e-commerce partners and other retail channels. The company makes money by manufacturing branded products at scale and selling them through global retail distribution. Its customers are primarily retailers, distributors and other trade partners that buy inventory for resale, while end consumers are households purchasing snack products. As an advertiser, it also deploys significant marketing budgets to support brand demand, defend shelf space and sustain pricing power across mature and emerging markets.

Updated: 19 Aug 2026Mondelēz International is scaling its culture-led engagement through the Oreo-BTS collaboration across 80 markets, alongside the Reese’s-Oreo tie-up which generated $97 million in sales. To optimise the path to purchase, the company is integrating marketing and sales functions to address the 'missing middle', supported by the SnackWorks Perks loyalty programme with Ibotta. Additionally, Mondelēz is advocating for standardised retail media measurement through the ANA to resolve effectiveness tracking inconsistencies. This strategy is reinforced by regional leadership shifts, including Joanna Lazar’s appointment as Marketing VP DACH.

Key insights about Mondelēz International
Category Differentiation
This is the global packaged snacks company, not a software, adtech or martech platform. It should not be confused with individual product brands within its portfolio or with retailer-owned snack labels.
Mondelēz International: About
The business model is built on developing, manufacturing, branding and distributing packaged snack products through large-scale retail and wholesale channels. Value is created through brand equity, category breadth, retailer relationships, manufacturing scale, merchandising and recurring consumer demand for everyday snack consumption. Revenue is generated mainly from product sales to trade customers, with margins influenced by pricing, volume, input costs and mix.
How Mondelēz International Works & Monetises
Business model analysis and core revenue streams
Monetisation is driven primarily by wholesale product sales of branded snacks into retail and distribution channels, using a classic consumer packaged goods retail margin model. The company captures value through brand-led pricing, broad shelf presence, promotional trade spend, channel mix and global scale rather than subscription or software fees.

Read original sourceANA: Four Challenges Slowing Retail Media Investment
A new report from the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) finds that inconsistent measurement standards are limiting incremental brand investments in retail media. Retail media in the U.S. is estimated at $70 billion by eMarketer, yet 55% of ANA members cited a lack of measurement standards as the top challenge. Executives from brands including Bayer, Hershey, Kenvue and Mondelez said inconsistent measurement across retail media networks makes it difficult to gauge effectiveness. Retailers are responding by introducing new formats such as streaming and offsite ads and promoting awareness-building capabilities to win additional ad dollars, but measurement gaps remain a barrier to greater brand budget allocation to retail media.
Read original sourceANA updates retail media measurement standardization
The Association of National Advertisers (ANA) is issuing a "Retail Media Measurement Standardization" report offering recommendations for brands to demand third-party measurement, transparent methodologies, standardized definitions of outcomes and a 14-day loopback window when evaluating retail media networks (RMNs). The guidance was developed by an ANA subcommittee that convened more than 40 brands' heads of media and was reviewed with several RMNs — including Walmart, Albertsons, Target-linked Roundel, Instacart, CVS Media Edge and BJ’s — though Amazon did not respond. The framework builds on a 2024 baseline metrics report from the MRC and IAB. Measurement vendors IAS and DoubleVerify were cited as likely validators, with DoubleVerify noted as being acquired by Nielsen.
