Hi there!

Day 2 of Adobe Summit 2025 delivered another wave of high-impact insights, actionable strategies, and exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in business and technology. From AI-powered personalization to leadership and global economic insights, today's sessions focused on how brands can stay competitive in a rapidly changing landscape.

🔥 Day 2 Highlights

🎥 Keynote Highlight: Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase

One of the standout moments from Day 2 was the keynote from Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase. Dimon shared his perspective on leadership, economic trends, and the future of business in a wide-ranging and candid conversation with Adobe’s CEO, Shantanu Narayen.

💡 Leadership Lessons from Jamie Dimon

Dimon outlined four key principles that have shaped his approach to leadership:

  • Directness and Honesty: Successful businesses constantly reassess their performance, competitors, and market dynamics — without getting complacent.

  • Operational Excellence: Great leadership requires accountability, organization, and execution. A "hot mess" at the operational level will eventually collapse.

  • Empathy and Humility: People know when leaders care — and when they don’t. Respect and authenticity are key to building a strong culture.

  • Grit: Leaders must have the courage to take risks and make tough calls — even when the outcome is uncertain.

🌍 Global Economic Outlook

Dimon struck a cautious but realistic tone about the global economy:

  • The U.S. economy has experienced significant growth since COVID-19, fueled by massive government spending.

  • However, inflationary pressures, geopolitical instability (Ukraine, Middle East), and growing national debt could shift the trajectory toward greater economic uncertainty.

  • Despite challenges, Dimon stressed that strategic investment, innovation, and strong leadership can help businesses weather turbulence and emerge stronger.

💼 The Future of Financial Services

Dimon also highlighted how AI and automation are reshaping financial services:

  • JPMorgan Chase now has over 2,000 AI and data scientists working on applications across risk, fraud detection, customer engagement, and marketing.

  • The company’s ability to integrate AI into its operational DNA has reduced the cost of prospecting by 90% — allowing the business to scale more efficiently.

  • Dimon sees AI as transformative, comparable to the steam engine and the internet in terms of its long-term impact on business and society.

🎯 AI-Powered Personalization with Adobe

Another major focus on Day 2 was how AI-powered agents are transforming customer experiences. In a session with Rachel Hanessian and Anjul Bhambhri, Adobe showcased how their AI-powered agents help marketers tackle tasks like:

Audience Creation – AI agents help define and refine audience segments based on customer intent and behavior.

Journey Optimization – AI recommends the best engagement strategies, ensuring the right message reaches the right person at the right time.

Experimentation – AI generates hypotheses, runs tests, and adjusts campaigns based on real-time performance data.

A standout example was Marriott's AI-driven customer journey, where:

  • AI identified business travelers with a high likelihood to extend their stay.

  • Personalized incentives like loyalty points and activity discounts were deployed automatically.

  • The result? Increased customer engagement and higher booking extensions — all powered by Adobe’s AI platform.

In a world where privacy changes are disrupting traditional attribution models, accurate ROI measurement is more critical than ever. That’s where Fospha comes in.

👉 Fospha’s Unified ROAS metric combines the granularity of attribution with the predictive power of daily MMM in a single algorithm — delivering a more complete view of marketing performance.

This approach enables brands to:

  • Understand the full-funnel impact of their marketing investments.

  • Dynamically adjust spend based on real-time insights.

  • Measure performance accurately — even without user-level data.

🤖 What’s AI Got To Do With it?

AI isn’t just the next shiny object in marketing — it’s becoming the backbone of how brands create and deliver customer experiences at scale. Day 2 of Adobe Summit underscored how AI is transforming every stage of the customer journey — from audience creation to campaign execution — and how brands can use AI to drive higher engagement and smarter decision-making.

🏆 Omnicom’s AI-Driven Operational Efficiency

Omnicom Group showed how AI is not just about customer engagement — it’s also a powerful tool for operational efficiency and cost reduction.

1. Process Automation

Omnicom’s AI system creates a real-time visual map of operational processes — identifying bottlenecks and inefficiencies that slow down campaign execution.

👉 Example:

  • Omnicom analyzed the execution of 534 emails in a campaign.

  • The AI discovered that two manual steps were slowing down execution.

  • After automating those steps, campaign launch times improved by 70%.

🏆 “AI helps marketers work smarter — not harder.”

2. Workforce Optimization

Omnicom’s AI doesn’t just fix processes — it also identifies performance gaps at the human level.

👉 Example:

  • The AI detected that some team members were outperforming others in campaign execution.

  • It flagged training opportunities to level up the underperforming teams — boosting consistency and performance.

3. Performance Forecasting

Omnicom’s AI platform predicts the outcome of strategic decisions — allowing businesses to simulate different scenarios and plan more effectively.

👉 Example:

  • Omnicom tested a campaign scaling from 1,000 to 2,000 customers.

  • The AI predicted the point at which the process would break down — allowing them to fix the issue before launch.

🚀 AI-Powered Marketing: The New Playbook

The smartest brands are already building AI into their marketing DNA — not just for automation, but for strategic advantage:

  • Use AI to identify high-value customers.

  • Automate customer journeys and experimentation.

  • Close the loop with accurate performance measurement.

The future isn’t coming — it’s already here. And it’s powered by AI.

🔮 Closing Thoughts

Two days down — one to go! Adobe Summit has already delivered some serious insights into the future of marketing, but there’s still more to come. Day 3 (Thursday, March 20) promises to build on the momentum with a lineup of can’t-miss sessions:

What’s Coming Up on Day 3

  • Keynote with Shantanu Narayen (Adobe CEO) – Expect a big-picture view of how Adobe sees the future of customer experience, AI, and creative automation.

  • Deep Dive on Generative AI – How AI is driving real-time personalization and content creation at scale.

  • B2B Marketing Breakouts – Sessions focused on B2B buyer journeys, sales enablement, and account-based marketing strategies.

  • AI & Privacy Panel – A discussion on balancing AI-driven insights with increasing privacy regulations.

  • Adobe Experience Cloud Roadmap – What’s next for Adobe’s customer journey and data platform capabilities.

Takeaways So Far

After two days, three key themes are emerging:

  1. AI is shifting from theory to execution

    Adobe’s AI-powered agents are not just concepts — they’re already automating audience creation, customer journeys, and campaign optimization. Marketers no longer need to guess which strategy will work — AI can test and refine in real time.

  2. Measurement is the missing piece

    Adobe and Omnicom are driving operational efficiency and customer engagement — but without effective measurement, it’s hard to prove ROI. Fospha’s ability to combine multi-touch attribution with daily MMM is closing the gap — helping brands understand the true value of every customer interaction.

  3. AI + Human Insight = Competitive Advantage

    AI isn’t replacing marketers — it’s enhancing them. From JP Morgan’s customer-first approach to Omnicom’s process automation, the winning formula is clear: human creativity and strategic thinking, powered by AI-driven insights.
