Since the launch of Adobe Real-Time CDP Collaboration, leading brands like Alterra Mountain Co., Coca-Cola, Major League Baseball, WPP Media, NBCUniversal, Warner Bros. Discovery, Roku, Television New Zealand, and more have adopted Real-Time CDP Collaboration to power marketing and monetization use cases across their organizations. The value of radically simple, interoperable, and privacy-centric data collaboration is clear — especially when executed with the full context of an organization’s first-party data.
To help organizations use the power of data collaboration and unlock unique insights from trusted partners, Adobe is making it easier than ever to invite and invest in any collaborator, anywhere.
Introducing invitations in Real-Time CDP Collaboration.
Adobe is excited to announce the general availability of a new capability that allows any customer of Real-Time CDP Collaboration to use a simple, click-based workflow to invite any organization to collaborate — without license requirements for the invited party. Adobe outfits the invited party with a product environment in minutes, enabling both parties to securely connect and begin collaboration projects.
For Adobe’s customers, this means immediate connectivity to new partners, regardless of data warehouse, CDP, cloud platform, or identity vendor. For the invited party, this means access to a purpose-built solution with key capabilities to realize joint value quickly. Now, publishers and media networks can invite and build a network of advertisers, and marketers can work with trusted partners for data-driven partnerships and co-marketing campaigns.
Frictionless collaboration: How it works.
Adobe sets out to solve the problems of scale and interoperability so that organizations can collaborate with anyone, without spending weeks or months determining which solution to use, who must move data, and debating which identity vendor to use. With Real-Time CDP Collaboration’s invitation flow, organizations can focus on the business value — not wasting time and resources on operational complexity.
Let’s see how two organizations, Acme Co., a publisher, and Luma Co., an advertiser, could use the new seamless invitation flow in Real-Time CDP Collaboration:
- A Real-Time CDP Collaboration publisher, Acme Co., wants to collaborate with Luma Co., an advertiser without a Real-Time CDP Collaboration license, to plan and activate a paid media campaign.
- Acme Co. sends an invitation to Luma Co. from the Real-Time CDP Collaboration UI, and Luma Co. is immediately notified via email.
- Luma Co. accepts the invitation, and Adobe grants a complimentary Real-Time CDP Collaboration environment to Luma Co. and covers the cost of audience onboarding.
- Acme Co. begins the project with Luma Co. and invests their Real-Time CDP Collaboration credits to unlock audience discovery, activation, and outcomes-based measurement.
Data collaboration finally democratized.
The next frontier for marketers, publishers, and media networks is going beyond their own walls to tap into unique insights from trusted partners, delighting customers and delivering business value — unencumbered by technology. As generative and agentic AI become commonplace, unique data and insights will be a must-have.
