SUMMARY
When Adobe launched its subscription-based Creative Cloud platform, it delighted some creatives, antagonized many more and experienced real turbulence in moving to a new creative-services model. To reengage the community and reignite interest, we changed the conversation. Instead of focusing on cloud technology, we relaunched and celebrated the creative audience itself. I Am the New Creative put the names, faces and portfolios of creatives front and center and used social media to share their work globally. The result: a reversal of sentiment and subscriptions that was ahead of Adobes goal.
