The Opportunity

Adobe is a leader empowering creativity for students in K12 and higher education through platforms such as Express, Firefly, Photoshop, Acrobat, Premiere, and Illustrator. Over the past five years, the concept of being a "Creator" has gained significant traction among students, both as a personal aspiration and a professional ambition. The rise of feed-driven platforms has democratized creative opportunities, fostering collaboration and extending creative empowerment beyond traditional professionals to a broader audience. This shift has generated substantial global potential across K12 schools, higher education institutions, and certificate programs, enabling the development of future creative professionals and nurturing creativity in all students.

As Adobe expands its global presence in education, aligning community engagement with product-led growth strategies will be vital in driving our success in supporting students and educators worldwide.
