Here’s a rundown of what we discuss in our first episode in this series:
Adobe innovations
Integration with Adobe Experience Platform: Advertising Cloud is now bi-directionally integrated with Adobe Experience Platform. Profiles and segments can be shared, targeted across advertising channels, and further refined based on ad engagement data.

Business continuity
Adobe Advertising Cloud partnered with Advanis, a leading social research firm, to survey over 1,000 consumers and 500 brands and agencies around the globe to understand perceptions, behavioral changes, and the “why” behind what they’re doing now in the midst of COVID-19 and beyond. This whitepaper gives actionable insights, backed by data-driven market research, to help advertisers build successful strategies for both the short- and long-term.
There are a lot of interesting findings, but some of the highlights include:
- Nearly 40% of consumers want to try new products during this time because of advertising, necessity, or boredom.
- Additionally, 89% think brands should keep advertising – but 21% of marketers have stopped – so there’s a mismatch here that brands should consider.
- 85% of consumers say that the positive experiences that they have with brands will make them long-term customers.

Industry hot topics
COVID-19 has accelerated the need for more strategic, outcome-based advertising as brands must further prove the real business impact their media is driving. This shift has propelled an increased focus on the advertising supply chain in recent months, centered around the topic of supply-path optimization.
In order to deliver an efficient media strategy, brands must focus on what they can control to maximize the effectiveness of their ad spend. This can be done by:
- Ensuring your advertising technology allows you to optimize towards business objectives, such as customer lifetime value, rather than just media metrics like CTR. Adobe offers exactly this, with hundreds of new brands adopting our Analytics for Advertising Cloud offering in just the past year.
- Adopting a “value over volume” approach to media and data strategies, to ensure you are running on effective media, rather than just cheaper media.
Ultimately, delivering true business outcomes tied to your advertising initiatives is what will separate the leaders from the laggards over the next 12 – 18 months.
