In this fast-paced world, enterprises need to strike a fine balance between offering distinctive digital customer experiences to unlock new revenue streams from existing customers and acquiring new ones, and at the same time drive profitability.
Businesses recognise the significance of digital experiences and to establish a connection with the customer by providing seamless, personalised, and timely interactions at every point in their journey. In keeping with the changing demographics of the digital marketplace, Adobe, the global technology leader in customer experience management hosted Adobe Summit EMEA 2023 on June 8 and 9 – by unveiling a wide range of product innovations across Adobe Experience Cloud, the world’s leading customer experience management solution, Adobe Express, the world’s leading all-in-one content creation app and Adobe Firefly, the world’s most differentiated generative AI offering, together empowering brands to be creative and accelerate experience-led growth.

It has the ability to become this incredible co-pilot. For the world’s creative minds, I think it rapidly expands access to creativity. For businesses, it represents an opportunity for automation and personalisation," said Shantanu Narayen, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Adobe.
Echoing a similar sentiment, Anil Chakravarthy, President, Digital Experience Business, Adobe, said “Today’s digital economy, coupled with the heightened expectations of consumers, means organisations must be laser-focused on customer experience as the great differentiator. Through the combination of Adobe’s industry-leading enterprise applications and strong innovation engine, we are in the perfect position to help brands rise to this challenge and drive sustainable, experience-led growth".
New product innovations
An Adobe research revealed that the demand for content has at least doubled over the past two years according to 88 per cent of marketing and customer experience leaders who were interviewed as part of the survey. Two-thirds of them expect this demand to grow by five times over the next two years.

In a major step towards this, Adobe has unveiled new innovations in Adobe Experience Cloud, the world’s leading customer experience management solution, wherein the new offerings enable brands to deliver highly personalised experiences across any touchpoint, while maximising operational efficiency. Adobe Experience Cloud has continued to gain traction across many verticals through its associations with leading brands in India – ranging from HDFC Bank and Tata Capital in BFSI space to Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail and Malabar Gold in the retail/ecommerce space; and from Vistara in Travel & Hospitality to MG Motor, Hero Motocorp and CEAT in automotive domain.
“As enterprise businesses navigate through an uncertain business climate and price conscious consumers, consistently delivering engaging and personalised experiences will be paramount to accelerating profitable growth. Our latest innovations empower brands to activate data in new ways that drive customer engagements, along with efficiencies and cost savings," saidAmit Ahuja, Senior Vice President, Digital Experience Business at Adobe.
