Our Company 

Changing the world through digital experiences is what Adobe’s all about. We give everyone—from emerging artists to global brands—everything they need to design and deliver exceptional digital experiences! We’re passionate about empowering people to create beautiful and powerful images, videos, and apps, and transform how companies interact with customers across every screen.  

Adobe Advertising Cloud  

Adobe Advertising is a combination of a ‘Demand Side Platform (DSP)’ and a ‘Spend Optimizer’ that helps customers plan, buy, measure, and optimize their digital media (across CTV, Online Video, Display, Search, Social, and Retail Media Networks). We solve hard problems across big data (participating in 400 bn auctions a day), low latency (20 millisecond response time for every auction), and AI / ML. We build product experiences that customers love for generating actionable insights.  We help the largest global advertisers maximize the impact of their paid media budgets by delivering connected and personalized experiences to their consumers.    

As the advertisement industry embraces the key changes from being privacy-safe, the resurgence of CTV, to the proliferation of ‘Walled Gardens’, fast paced innovation and creating differentiation with AI/ML become the cornerstone of success.
