By embracing a data-driven approach to uncover new efficiencies and ways of working, marketing organizations can lower costs while enhancing creativity and driving financial growth.

With rapidly evolving customer preferences and an exploding number of channels, markets and formats, marketers are increasingly challenged to efficiently produce personalized, dynamic and optimized content that brings their brands to life. According to Accenture research, 95% of global leaders believe their customers are changing faster than their businesses. Together, Accenture and Adobe can help marketers transform their approach to content to be more agile and remain relevant to customers.

“With the growing velocity of content production comes the need to identify the right content, format and channel for each asset to deliver engaging customer experiences that drive real business impact,” said Jim LaLonde, managing director and lead of the Accenture Adobe Business Group. “Leveraging Adobe technology and Accenture capabilities, our new services can bring together the people, tools and workstreams needed for clients to effectively plan, create, manage and deliver content across industries and around the globe.”

Justin Merickel, vice president, Business Development and Partners, Adobe, said, “Content fuels the digital economy and together Adobe and Accenture are equipping brands to build high-performing content supply chains that deliver the quantity and variety of effective, personalized content customers now expect. With a majority of brands expecting content demand to increase by at least five times over the next two years, Adobe and Accenture will help marketers transform the content supply chain to drive measurable business outcomes.”
