Hey, I want to move on to our lightning round where I'm going to ask you some Martech and AI growth related questions. Are you ready? I am ready. Okay. Today's interview is brought to you by Shift Paradigm Marketing. Today is buried in complexity. You've got the tech, you've got the tools, but moving the needle feels harder than ever. And the last thing us marketers need is another consultant pitching digital transformation. Enter Shift Paradigm. Shift is an integrated team of experts who help enterprise brands turn complexity into traction. Their work is insight led and strategically grounded, designed not to sell you a service or a piece of tech, but to actually solve real business challenges. What makes them different? Well, they're AI enabled but not AI dependent. They're human first, but plugged into the latest tools and models and the moments those models need to go through to prove themselves. They get techy without losing sight of the real person behind every click. And they don't just hand you a deck. They build the blueprints and stay to develop, deploy and run the engine. Growth isn't one size fits all. So stop settling for strategies that collect dust and start working with a team that actually builds for you. Visit ShiftParadigm.com to see how they can help you connect meaningfully with your audience. That's ShiftParadigm.com let's start off at the top. Adobe is a massive company. How do you define what you do? That's a great question. I think at the end of the day we're all about creating the digital experiences and that is what we're trying to do and we really think about like, how are we helping organizations either create and understand the digital experiences they're putting into the world, create new assets, create new art, and we really are focused on helping customers and accounts and brands better understand and create the best customer experience they can. All right, that wraps up this episode of the Martech Podcast. Thanks to Patrick Brown, the SVP of Global Marketing at Adobe, for joining us. A special thanks to Shift Paradigm for sponsoring this podcast. Shift is an integrated team of experts who help enterprise brands bridge the gap between strategy data and customers. Human first, AI enabled and execution led. They build the blueprints, then stay to develop, deploy and run the engine you need.
