FY27 Investment Discussion

New Investments

Platform Upgrade

CJA

Value drivers include improved customer visibility, enterprise-scale analytics, omnichannel journey insights, higher-quality data, AI-powered productivity, and Ultimate capabilities such as Real-Time Reporting and extended lookback windows. The Graph-Based Stitching pilot unlocked 25% more identifiable traffic and $5.67B in ecommerce visibility — delivered at no charge under the current agreement, at an estimated $1.1M value.

New Solution

CX Enterprise Coworker

Adobe's AI-powered teammate that works across Adobe solutions to automate workflows, accelerate decision-making, and improve productivity across experimentation and measurement. Trial Proof Point: Coworker investigated an alleged April traffic decline and determined traffic actually increased 8.1% month-over-month, isolating three localized patterns and ranking four likely causes by confidence level (AI Pod co-development).

New Solution

Data Distiller

Advanced Data Manipulation transforms raw customer data into trusted enterprise KPIs — improving measurement, efficiency, and revenue decision-making. Example: automatically identifies store purchases influenced by prior digital engagement, creating a consistent KPI used across Ecommerce, Marketing, Store Operations, and Orange Apron Media.

People Resource Model Upgrade

Integrated Services

Faster time-to-value by pairing Ultimate Success with hands-on, flexible activations that turn high-impact use cases into measurable outcomes through expert guidance and execution. Reduces delivery friction by working seamlessly alongside partners with coordinated planning and accountability, keeping architecture aligned to a "north-star" vision and improving adoption at scale.

New Solution

LLMO Brand Visibility

An end-to-end system that makes brand visibility measurable and actionable. It senses how the brand shows up across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and other AI assistants, prioritizes the prompts that matter most, and ties optimization to business results — closing the loop from Insight to Action to Measurement.
