In a digital landscape that demands speed, personalization, and control, Adobe and IBM are deepening their long-standing partnership to help brands realize the full value of generative AI across marketing, content creation, and governance. By combining Adobe’s leading customer experience tools with IBM’s AI, hybrid cloud, and consulting expertise, the two companies are enabling marketers to move faster, work smarter, and optimize customer journeys.
Adobe and IBM are delivering streamlined, scalable, and personalized marketing experiences across hybrid environments:
- Powering Adobe Experience Platform with watsonx: Adobe and IBM are bringing IBM watsonx, a portfolio of solutions to help organizations scale generative AI, into Adobe Experience Platform to help brands personalize customer experiences while maintaining transparency and governance. IBM watsonx helps AEP-based applications manage predictive machine learning models to give marketers new ways to understand customer behaviors and enhance journeys, while uncovering insights across channels and audiences. To ensure reliable predictions from AEP data, watsonx.governance tracks model lifecycles and standardizes performance, fairness, and content evaluation. Adobe is extending its use of generative AI to include watsonx.ai with open-source Large Language Models in Adobe AI Assistants to enhance productivity and decision-making.
- Advancing agentic AI and workflow orchestration: Adobe and IBM are aligning on the future of agentic AI — purpose-built agents that support real-time decision-making and the delivery of personalized customer experiences. IBM’s watsonx Orchestrate complements Adobe’s Agent Orchestrator framework to streamline tasks across marketing, content, and service workflows.
- Delivering personalized high-performing, on-brand content with Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing: Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing is a generative AI-first application that lets marketing teams create their own paid social ads, display ads, banners, marketing emails, and many more to drive impactful, personalized marketing campaigns. Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing supports certain third-party models - including viaIBM’s watsonx.ai platform-that are trained with brand content to unlock new levels of content precision and brand alignment.
- Scaling impact through IBM Consulting: IBM Consulting is helping businesses maximize ROI and accelerate time to value of their Adobe investments through its IBM Consulting Advantage platform. The offering integrates generative AI, automation, and best practices to streamline Adobe Experience Cloud implementations, minimize repetitive work across Adobe apps (Journey Optimizer, Real-Time CDP, AEM, and Workfront), and empower teams to focus on high-value, creative work that drives measurable outcomes.
- Flexibility with hybrid infrastructure: With Red Hat OpenShift, clients can deploy Adobe Experience Platform across hybrid environments, giving IT and marketing teams the flexibility and control they need to operate securely at scale.
