At Mars, creating the world we want tomorrow starts with empowering today's young minds to move boldly toward their career dreams and aspirations.

This week, the EXTRA UK team kicked off the Chew Good FA campaign with football legend Theo Walcott! We're thrilled to offer FREE taxi rides to England games on match days, providing fans a stress-free journey equipped with EXTRA chewing gum and motivational pep talks from footballers Joe Gomez, Ezri Konza, and James Maddison! ⚽ Our latest research unveiled that pre-match nerves affect nearly half of Brits (43%), with finding a spot to watch the game adding to the stress for 48% of football fans. But EXTRA is here to help you relax and enjoy every game moment without the micro-stressors. To kickstart the service, watch Theo surprise fans heading to the England vs. Serbia match in London, spreading match day spirit and giving out EXTRA Gum for that extra boost. #ChewGood #ProudlyMars

Last week Mars joined business leaders from around the world in our hometown of Chicago to attend The Consumer Goods Forum Global Summit.

We’ve relished the opportunity to collaborate, learn and innovate with our peers and fellow industry leaders – all in service of building the future of snacking for our valued partners and consumers. #ProudlyMars

Small in size, but big on fun! To celebrate the launch of M&M'S Minis in the UK, we created a mini version of the iconic M&M'S London store in Soho!

We can't help but be excited about the prospect of AI to transform business for good– which is why we recently gathered 250 Associates and guests at our AI Learning and Innovation Lab in Newark to spend a full day diving headfirst into AI innovation.

A special shout-out to our One Demand Data & Analytics team for leading the event and embodying our culture of continuous learning and innovation! #ProudlyMars #TomorrowStartsToday
