“While everyone’s talking about the potential of AI, few have made it a reality for marketers,” said Justin Billingsley, Chief Growth Officer at Monks. “At CES, we’ll share how our partnership with Adobe has helped brands move beyond the hype to implement AI solutions that deliver tangible, real-world impact and enable them to stay connected at the speed of culture.”
“2023 was about ‘WOW.’ 2024 is about ‘HOW.’ And 2025 will be ‘NOW,'” said Sir Martin Sorrell, Executive Chairman at S4 Capital. “The shift to AI-first marketing requires agencies and brands to rethink workflows, partnerships and strategies. At Monks, we’re working closely with Adobe and other key platforms to drive this transformation, helping our clients navigate an increasingly AI-driven marketing landscape.”
The joint CES appearance underscores Monks’ commitment to driving innovation through collaboration with industry leaders like Adobe. Together, both are setting the standard for how brands can use AI to reimagine creativity, deliver measurable outcomes, and build meaningful connections with consumers through consistent and timely touchpoints.
Six months ago, Monks announced that Monks.Flow—a service automating workflows by linking talent, software and microservices—would integrate with Adobe solutions including Adobe GenStudio and Adobe Firefly to enhance its capabilities. In the intervening time, these generative AI-driven solutions have already begun transforming how marketers approach content creation and personalization, turning AI’s potential into measurable results: reducing costs, streamlining collaboration and enhancing creativity at scale. As a trusted Orchestration Partner, Monks is helping brands solve the complexity of modern marketing by connecting ideas, technology, and talent to ensure relevance and scale in a fragmented, fast-moving world.
Named Adweek’s first-ever AI Agency of the Year, a three-time winner of the 2024 Business Intelligence AI Excellence Awards, and a Runner-Up for the Adobe Firefly Partner Award, Monks has been recognized for its leadership in harnessing AI to drive creativity, efficiency and outcomes at scale. Now, as the rest of the industry shifts from exploring potential toward delivering results, Monks is focused on helping brands navigate this transformation through the practical applications of AI.
