Announcing the 2021 Adobe Experience Maker Awards Finalists

At Adobe, we are always inspired by the ways our customers are transforming their businesses through groundbreaking digital experiences. Even though this past year presented many challenges, Adobe Experience Cloud customers continued to innovate and push digital boundaries, demonstrating how bringing together the right mix of creativity, content, and data can improve every experience.

Each year we shine a light on the amazing ways our customers use Adobe Experience Cloud solutions to better serve their customers, partners, and communities. For the 2021 Adobe Experience Maker Awards, this year’s finalists were selected from a pool of submissions larger and more diverse than ever. The number of submissions jumped almost 60 percent compared with last year, with entries coming from customers worldwide. We thank everyone who shared their stories with us.

This past year also introduced more exciting changes as Workfront, the leading work management platform for marketers, joined the Adobe family. The 2021 Lion Awards recognize Adobe Workfront customers who are revolutionizing how work gets done. We are excited to celebrate this year’s finalists and winners across both awards programs during our virtual award galas in June (details below).
