PARIS & LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today at Adobe Summit – the flagship digital experience conference – Publicis Groupe (OTCMKTS:PUBGY) and Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) announced an expansion of their global strategic partnership, where Adobe Firefly generative AI will be integrated across Publicis’ capabilities through CoreAI, its AI-powered intelligent system that unifies and activates the group’s proprietary data.

The two companies will build solutions that combine Publicis Groupe’s deep delivery capabilities across its intelligent content operations with Adobe Firefly Services—a collection of creative and generative APIs and services for enterprises—directly into Publicis Groupe’s Core AI platform.
