Mondelez International's mPulse Lab currently features 78 different dashboards that stream social media insights and conversations of the company's brands across Facebook and Twitter. The lab launched with three brands, Oreo biscuits, Ritz and Wheat Thins crackers, and will be adding additional brands in the coming months, including Stride iD and Trident gum, Nilla® Wafers and Chips Ahoy! biscuits and Swedish Fish candy.
