SAN JOSE, Calif. – Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in the 2016 “Magic Quadrant for Multichannel Campaign Management” research report. Adobe was one of 19 vendors evaluated in the report. For the third consecutive year, Adobe was positioned furthest in the Leaders quadrant for completeness of vision. Adobe has also improved in the Leaders quadrant for ability to execute.
“As a not-for-profit financial institution, creating an exceptional member experience is our first priority. It’s essential that every interaction we have is personalized and informed to maximize loyalty”
“Customer experience has become the primary differentiator for brands in this age of Experience Business, and brands must create highly personalized, engaging experiences at every digital touch point across the customer journey,” said Stephan Dietrich, vice president, Adobe Campaign. “We believe our position as a Leader in Gartner’s Multichannel Campaign Management report underpins the breadth and value of our email and campaign management capabilities that help brands deliver on customer expectations.”
