The next era of performance marketing — intent-driven, omnichannel, and insight-led.

The assumptions and paradigms that governed enterprise marketing for the past 25 years won’t apply moving forward. As generative AI plays a bigger role in consumer and B2B journeys, it will challenge marketing teams to move faster and perform better.

Adobe has been at the forefront of generative AI for many years, but over the past few we've developed some of our most exciting innovations. Our flagship Adobe Firefly models surpassed 22 billion generations this year. We recently launched multiple Adobe Experience Cloud agents, and our general availability of Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing just 12 months ago has empowered marketing teams to move faster, generate more personalized content, and improve their campaign performance.

Now, I’m thrilled to share the latest features and upcoming innovations that teams can use in GenStudio for Performance Marketing.

Here are the top innovations we’re releasing and announcing.

  1. Content Production Agent. Marketers can go from campaign intent to personalized content in minutes by using a conversational UI agent designed to understand their campaign objectives, brand, and creative types.
  2. Video ad assembly. Marketers can launch paid social video ads in minutes, leveraging Adobe’s reframe, resize, overlay, and stitching features.
  3. Creative intelligence optimization. Using ad performance data and AI-tagged creative attributes, marketers will be able to refresh their creative campaign so they can double down on what’s working and replace what’s fatiguing in just a few clicks.
  4. Content authenticity. Brands will be able to retain Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) credentials when they upload assets into GenStudio for Performance Marketing.
  5. Omnichannel insights. GenStudio for Performance Marketing centralizes ad performance data from multiple advertising platforms and ad servers including LinkedIn, TikTok, and Innovid (formerly Flashtalking) so that marketers can continually optimize their campaigns across platforms.
  6. Personalized creative using Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform (CDP) audiences. Content performs better when it’s personalized to the right audience, journey stage, and persona preferences. In addition to personalizing content by messaging preferences and channel type, marketers will be able to select an audience from Real-Time CDP directly in GenStudio for Performance Marketing to enhance their content for their marketing objectives.

Below are more details about Adobe’s flagship releases and announcements. You can see a full list of our recent and upcoming product innovations here.

Go from intent to on-brand creative in minutes using the new Content Production Agent.

Content velocity is now a requirement, not a luxury. If you need to wait six weeks to get new creative for an ad or email campaign, you’ve already missed the moment. That’s why the GenStudio for Performance Marketing team has launched a new agent purpose-built for marketers.

The Content Production Agent is your marketing campaign copilot, designed to receive inputs such as campaign brief documents, objectives, and channel requirements, and quickly develop ready-to-activate creative in minutes.

  1. Start with any input — such as a campaign brief, objectives, or a prompt context — for the campaign you’re running.
  2. The agent will synthesize your documents and prompt them into a strategic direction, which you can approve or refine.
  3. The agent will assist in recommending personas and products to include in your content generation flow.
  4. The agent will recommend templates stored in GenStudio for Performance Marketing and creative assets from your digital asset management (DAM) libraries for selection.
  5. Finally, the agent will generate all versions of campaign creative onto the canvas according to your brand guidelines so you can refine and edit before sending for approval and activation.

Unlocking video ad performance with new assembly and overlay features.

Video ads are the engine of modern performance marketing, driving 1,200% more shares than static content and accounting for nearly 80% of social media ad spend. Yet the process of producing a single video asset remains slow and costly, often taking thousands of dollars per campaign. This bottleneck is compounded by the rapid decay of social ad effectiveness— most assets lose relevance within three to six weeks — leaving brands scrambling to avoid wasting ad dollars on stale creative.

GenStudio for Performance Marketing removes these hurdles with a suite of new video ad features designed for speed, scale, and creative control. Marketers can instantly stitch branded intro bumpers and outro end cards to their hero videos, ensuring every asset is on brand and compliant across platforms, such as LinkedIn and TikTok.

The platform’s intuitive UI lets users add text and logo overlays, highlight key messages, and personalize content for different audiences — all without complex editing tools.

These capabilities build on the existing AI-powered reframing and subject detection APIs in GenStudio for Performance Marketing, enabling rapid creation of size and language variants for global campaigns.

The result is a dramatic acceleration in speed to market and content production, empowering teams to adapt, localize, and optimize video ads in minutes rather than weeks. Marketers can now produce high-quality, engaging, and personalized video ads at scale, driving higher campaign performance and revenue growth.

Optimize ad performance by feeding AI-powered creative attributes into your ad assembly process.

Performance marketers are plagued by ad fatigue and inefficient ad spend. Unfortunately, it can take weeks or even months to refresh or update campaigns with new creative, and there’s no guarantee those creative versions will perform better than the previous iteration.

Fortunately, for performance marketers, the days of watching impressions drop, cost-per-action rise, and return-on-ad-spend decline are numbered. With creative intelligence optimization capabilities in GenStudio for Performance Marketing, marketers can quickly diagnose which media are fatiguing and why.

Within the same application, performance marketers can quickly refresh those fatiguing ads using campaign performance data to help rebound their campaigns. They can also create new content using the attributes of their highest performing creative types to keep all campaigns performing at their best.

This is possible due to the AI-powered tagging available when you connect a LinkedIn ads account, TikTok, or Innovid accounts within GenStudio for Performance Marketing. There are several types of tags included.

Understand what’s working, where, and why in seconds with omnichannel insights.

In advertising, there are hundreds of channels to choose from. This creates a remarkable opportunity to reach the right audience, on the right platform, with the right message. However, it also creates a nearly impossible and expensive task for marketers to measure campaign performance across these many channels.

So, it’s no surprise that only 54% of marketers are confident in their digital ROI measurement.

With our latest innovations in GenStudio for Performance Marketing insights, marketers can now understand and act on performance data in real-time.

This is possible because instead of relying on out-of-the-box ad labeling from ad platforms, GenStudio for Performance Marketing automatically tags your ads with campaign and business logic that you control. These intelligent tracking IDs are included when you publish an approved ad from GenStudio for Performance Marketing to downstream channels. This automated tagging system allows you to measure performance of your ads based on criteria you define and unlocks cross-channel measurement.

Trust that converts — content credentials turn transparency into performance.

Audiences increasingly expect clarity about how media is made — and they hesitate when they don’t receive it. In a new national survey, 76% of Americans say it’s important to know whether pictures, video, or text were made by AI, yet 53% say they’re not confident they can tell. That confidence gap doesn’t just raise abstract trust questions — it depresses persuasion, slows decision‑making, and adds friction at every step of the customer journey.

The authenticity mandate is here — and it’s accelerating.

The ecosystem is rapidly standardizing on clear provenance signals — and marketing teams who embrace them are already eliminating approval bottlenecks and preventing avoidable rework.

Why CAI and C2PA matter.

Together, these shifts put content authenticity on equal footing with privacy, accessibility, and brand safety — an operating requirement for modern performance marketing.

Adobe founded the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) to restore trust and transparency online through open, interoperable provenance. The movement’s technical heartbeat is C2PA— the cross-industry standard that lets creators, tools, and platforms attach tamper-evident content credentials that travel with images, video, and audio across the ecosystem.

With CAI integration, GenStudio for Performance Marketing brings these provenance credentials into the workflows where performance content is planned, created, and approved — so trust isn’t a last-mile afterthought, it’s built in by design.

  1. Preserve credentials upon asset import. Available now, existing C2PA certified assets uploaded into GenStudio for Performance Marketing will retain these credentials in the application, empowering marketers to verify the provenance of the assets they’re using.
  2. Provenance at publish. In 2026, brands participating in the Content Authenticity for enterprises beta can apply their own C2PA brand credentials when users save approved experiences or export experiences from GenStudio for Performance Marketing.

Elevate your campaign performance with personalized creative using Real-Time CDP audiences integration.

Content performs better when it’s personalized to the right audience, journey stage, and persona preferences. In addition to personalizing content by messaging preferences and channel type, marketers will be able to select an audience from Real-Time CDP directly in GenStudio for Performance Marketing to enhance their content for their marketing objectives.

Velocity isn’t just about getting more content faster — it’s about closing the gap between audience intent and creative development. Adobe GenStudio for Performance Marketing will close this gap further with Real-Time CDP.

The Real-Time CDP integration will allow marketing teams to build content that starts with the entire customer context, including messaging preferences, buyer segment, journey stage, and behavioral data to tailor ad creative and email copy by activatable segments in Real-Time CDP.
