WPP and Adobe have announced an expansion of their long-standing global partnership, introducing integrated solutions aimed at helping brands optimise media, scale creativity and accelerate business growth through advanced AI-driven capabilities. The collaboration will enable companies to streamline end-to-end marketing processes while ensuring on-brand content creation and improved customer experience orchestration.

According to a WPP press release, the partnership will deliver a unified marketing solution that combines Adobe’s AI capabilities, content platforms and data orchestration technologies with WPP’s strategic expertise, creative services and transformation capabilities. The collaboration will leverage WPP’s agentic marketing platform, WPP Open, to provide a connected and privacy-safe approach to marketing transformation.

The move addresses a key challenge faced by brands today — the growing demand to produce more content across multiple channels while delivering personalised experiences for diverse audiences. Many organisations continue to rely on fragmented tools and workflows, making it difficult to scale personalisation without compromising brand integrity. Through the partnership, WPP and Adobe aim to build an AI-powered content supply chain designed to manage the planning, creation, production and activation of creative and media assets more efficiently.

For the first time, brands will gain access to agentic AI workflows and orchestration capabilities from both companies. Adobe’s AI agents will help create and adapt content, while WPP’s systems will optimise media investments and activate campaigns across channels, enabling tighter coordination across the entire marketing lifecycle. Adobe Firefly Foundry, which allows businesses to develop generative AI models trained on their own intellectual property and safe for commercial use, will also be integrated into WPP Open to ensure brand consistency from the outset.

Recognising the continued importance of human creativity, the companies also plan to train and deploy creative AI engineers over the coming years to help clients maximise the value of AI-driven workflows. The initiative aims to prepare marketing teams to work effectively with emerging agentic technologies while maintaining a strong focus on creativity and strategic thinking.

Stephan Pretorius, Chief Technology Officer at WPP, said the collaboration would remove long-standing bottlenecks in marketing production processes, enabling creative ideas to move more quickly from concept to execution. He noted that AI-powered content systems would handle operational complexity, allowing human creativity to play a greater role in driving brand growth.

Anil Chakravarthy, President of Adobe’s Customer Experience Orchestration Business, highlighted the growing demand for personalised customer engagement, stating that integrating capabilities across Adobe and WPP would help brands deliver tailored experiences across channels while scaling content creation efficiently.

To further accelerate adoption, WPP and Adobe will establish a joint go-to-market team and launch a dedicated Transformation Practice designed to help organisations redesign their marketing operations and integrate AI-driven capabilities into their business processes. The expanded partnership reflects the increasing role of artificial intelligence in reshaping global marketing strategies and customer engagement models.
