Adobe global CMO of Digital Experience, Eric Hall, wants companies to make bigger, bolder bets on their technology investments like consumers do, and break free of the incrementalism mindset they’ve been holding onto. And he’s seeing Adobe’s increasingly solid platform play and its brand-safe approach to AI as a compelling way to achieve that – provided the martech vendor can get better at elevating its own brand story with CMOs, CIOs and CEOs. During this year’s Adobe Summit, the marketing chief caught up with Mi3 to discuss the very practical AI innovations coming into the Adobe stack to drive personalisation at scale, what it’s going to take to make AI less scary for marketers, and how the vendor itself is working to improve its own marketing to marketers.

Distinctive or bust: Reflections Holidays CMO flips agencies for in-house rebrand, 100-page magazine, fishing partnerships, uniform overhaul – goes 85:15 brand to performance, predicts 12 month payback
Reflections Holidays CMO, Pete Chapman, has spent between $500k and $1M on an all-encompassing rebrand of the $500m NSW social enterprise and park operator. He’s confident of payback within 12 months and 10x returns in coming years. Why does he think it’ll work?

Marketing investment, per Chapman, “from here, is going to be 80-85 per cent brand, and 15-20 per cent performance”.
