Adobe Express: International PR

Driving visibility growth across Europe for Adobe Express with insight-led campaigns

We partner with Adobe Express to create insight-led digital PR campaigns that span everything from AI design tools to professional CVs. Our role is to find the human stories within the data; the kind that truly resonate with creative and B2B audiences across the UK, Germany and France. 

With deep understanding  and experience in these markets, we know how to bridge the gap between a brand’s vision and what journalists actually want to cover.  We shape ideas into headlines that earn their place in highly competitive news landscapes. 

To ensure every story lands with impact, we pair a pan-European strategy with native market teams who understand local nuances. This ensures our campaigns feel authentic, media savvy and tailored to the specific expectations of local journalists and their audiences.

Working with a global powerhouse in digital creativity, our mission was to drive brand awareness and domain authority across the UK, France, and Germany and help establish Adobe Express as the go-to tool for the next generation of creators.  

The goal was to showcase Adobe Express’s versatile offerings to key sectors (including Business, Design, HR, Finance, and Tech) while driving traffic to onsite tools and resources through earned media and high-quality backlinks. 

Adobe Express operates in a highly saturated digital design market. To stand out, the strategy needed to transcend standard product promotion and instead provide genuine value to a diverse audience (freelancers, side hustlers and business owners) across three distinct languages and cultures, each with unique media expectations and consumer behaviours.

The strategy

We executed a data driven, multimarket PR strategy centred on universal business talking points. For all campaigns we generated bespoke surveys in English, French and German to capture original data from target demographics. Each campaign’s unique data was hosted on dedicated blog pages with multiple backlinks to Adobe Express tools and resources, as well as imagery, infographics and plenty of tips to directly answer commonly asked questions.

Let’s take a look at some of them.

1. Innovative cities campaign

Creativity, technology and innovative ideas have become essential in the world of work. So, for this campaign, we ranked the most innovative cities by analysing key factors such as the number of startups per city, Wi-Fi speed, and the number of tech jobs per 100,000 inhabitants to uncover where innovation is thriving. Given innovation drives economic growth and attracts top talent, we then supported the piece with how to stand out when you’re looking for a new role and ways to update your CV.
