The Publicis Groupe and Adobe recently announced a strategic partnership in order to deliver the group's end-to-end marketing platform 'Always-On'. The bespoke platform automates and connects all components of their client's marketing efforts through the Adobe Marketing Cloud and marks an industry first, with all agencies across the Publicis Groupe able to create content, access marketing intelligence, identify and build audience segments, deliver campaigns, and track and measure marketing performance through a unified technology and data structure.

The platform will be available to all Publicis Groupe agencies including BBH, Digitas Lbi, Leo Burnett, Satchi & Saatchi, Rosetta and VivaKi, who wil be anchoring the platform as an open framework. The collaboration is expected to benefit both companies tremendously, and is another step on the Publicis Groupe's road to making combined digital and emerging market revenue 75% of its business by 2018. The press release states that both companies will be investing in joint sales and marketing, including “Retaining a dedicated team of strategists and business development specialists to innovate and bring the platform to market.

Shantanu Narayen, Adobe's president and CEO, said the move was a natural one as Adobe and Publicis “Have been delivering marketing innovation together for more than two decades.” He adds that “The massive scale of agency services across the Publicis networks, coupled with Adobe’s unique leadership in digital marketing solutions, will enable Publicis clients to develop best-in-class digital marketing capabilities that drive growth.” Stephen Beringer, VivaKi's chief growth officer, says Publicis are essentially “Creating a new operating model stitching together multi-agency services, technologies and workflows.” He feels that in doing so, they are “Converging the forces of marketing technology, data, creativity and strategy,” therefore “Optimizing delivery and maximizing the investments made in ad budgets, talent and consumer engagement.”
