I primarily use Adobe Spark Post for social media. The templates are perfect for stories, reels, and posts. The motion is attention-grabbing, especially for posts. I love the ease of use and customization for me, my business, and my brand. It is very user friendly and the learning curve was quick and painless.

Adobe Creative Cloud Express has been a great tool for my personal brand within my org. My company does not use the service, however individual sales teams are allowed to use it to put together marketing graphics for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, etc. I utilize the app over the webpage due to its ease of use. Within a few minutes, I have new marketing material I can post on my personal social media that ties into my business. Being able to personally put together marketing material without having to hire a team is cost-saving, and given the user-friendly platform on the app, it's easy to accomplish.

Adobe Creative Cloud Express is used widely within our organization. We use it for anything from video editing, photo editing, and even webpages design. Typically the apps that we use more often are photoshop express and sparks express. We use these two applications to create vibrant photos and slideshows that we can use for our organizational website.

Adobe Creative Cloud Express has helped with creating event invitations and announcements for use on our different media platforms. We have tried other office applications that didn't give us the desired results and were harder to integrate. Another huge benefit is that we are able to create directly from an iPad. This makes proofing ideas a snap. If someone wants to add or change, it is as easy as handing them the tablet and we are off to the races. I tend not to use the app on a phone, except for proofing. I prefer a larger screen to realize my project and make sure it displays on a phone screen as well. Adobe Creative Cloud Express and Apple mobile products work together well.

It's a handy tool to help take the load off our designer for things like internal emails, social committees, and other content we want to look nice but isn't necessarily part of branded, client-facing content. Since my position doesn't require Adobe Suite, easy/low priced, browser-based tools like Creative Cloud Express make things easier for our IT Department.

I love using Adobe CC Express for quick and easy graphics. As a graphic designer primarily, I of course use the entire Creative Cloud suite. And it's nice having the full versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, etc, and the multitude of tools included in them. But sometimes it's nice to have something quick and easy for putting together a Facebook post, without having to sift through the hundreds of different tools to knock out something simple.

Here at StrataCore, we need to create collaterals for our Sales Rep to do their jobs, and nowadays nothing beats real-time collaboration. Adobe not only allows us to collaborate but to share work in progress projects but also administrates who gets access to which apps. Teamwork collaboration is definitely easier using Adobe Creative Cloud.

In the restaurant business, we have a lot of fast-moving communication and training that needs to take place. Frequently, an issue or opportunity is discovered and we need to quickly get new Information out to our employees so they can best serve our customers. Although we have our own style at our company, Adobe Creative Cloud Express allows us to quickly conceptualize, create, and deliver quality content as needed.

Adobe creative cloud express is a design and creative app that allows us to make graphics for social media pages, short vids, and web pages. It is easy to use because you can just drag and drop so it is not a big learning curve for us to efficiently use this product.

Adobe Spark provides a quick and easy way to make graphics and engaging posts for our social media outlets. It's intuitive to use so the user does not need to be familiar with other Adobe products. It's helped our workflow since our student workers are able to use the program with barely any training.

We began experimenting with and implementing Adobe Creative Cloud Express in an attempt to make a more dynamic online curriculum for our students and programming recipients. The hope was that it would provide us with a more fluid and visually dynamic alternative to a typical presentation/slide platform like Powerpoint or Google Slides.

I use Adobe Creative Cloud Express to create and share social media graphics and videos for the University Athletics social media pages. This makes it quick and easy to post information faster and provides a steady stream of templates and design choices that increase engagement with our social media followers, as well as our athletes.

I have used the newly updated Adobe Creative Cloud Express, and the previous version of Adobe Spark since it's initial launch. It is an amazing resource for our team to create professional images, videos, and other digital design elements quickly and easily. We use it for social media content, email and blog headers, promotions, and so much more. It is a valuable resource for any team of any size.

My team is in charge of the digital signs that run across campus. We use this software to create quick, quality slides that usually have a life span of about 3 days. This software helps us make these slides in a fraction of the time because templates are already in place to get you started. Just add a picture and some descriptive text and everything is ready to go. We also use this as a team so that we can see all the slides that others are creating in one place.

I regularly use Adobe Creative Cloud Express to create engaging, interactive webpage designs for our communications initiatives. The Spark template is very easy to use and creates a professional-looking product. With a small communications team, this is an invaluable tool to create modern, engaging web designs relatively quickly and easily.

Adobe Creative Cloud Express is been used for creating digital content such as landing pages, email content which consists of hero images, brand logos, etc. Earlier we were using separate tools for image editing, webpage design, however, with Adobe Creative Cloud Express we use a single tool for a digital content journey which includes the creation of content for social media posts, offline marketing in sync with our digital offers, content used in search engine marketing and also helping in collaboration between teams.

I use Adobe Creative Cloud Express to create content for social media and short videos. It offers easy-to-use branding guidelines and standards you can customize for your needs and can also be used to create templates for re-use. It is nice that I can access these tools from any computer, and it stores all images/fonts/brand preferences for easy creation of new pieces.

I use it for designing social media posts. It makes it easier to design to start from templates instead of from scratch. It gives quick editing functionality. I find the interface is limited and sometimes difficult to navigate, but it is still an alternative for quickly coming up with a social media post in general.

In my previous role, the Marketing and Communications department solely used Adobe Creative Cloud Express for all of our social media content needs. It was truly such a time savor as neither I nor my teammates were trained graphic designers.

From social media graphics to online advertising creative, Adobe Creative Cloud Express streamlines content creation for all departments and clients. Often, time is the number one challenge when it comes to content creation for social. The second challenge is getting stuck in what the creative should look like. It is hard to constantly think of new creativity and then create it. Adobe Creative Cloud Express takes care of both challenges for you so you can get social and get it out now. The templates get the creative part moving, and the sky is the limit.

It is being used mostly by content creators across our sister stations. I am the only one that uses it on the Sales/Digital Side. It is great to use for quick graphics and videos that I need to make for our social media and website. I also use it to create web banner ads as well as Facebook ads.

I use Adobe Creative Cloud Express for projects with middle school students. I think it's important for them to learn how to use graphic design tools, and Adobe Creative Cloud Express is a kid-friendly option with a lot of different design choices. I use it in my classroom, and all of my students sign up with free accounts.

I'm not sure whether Adobe Creative Cloud Express is used across the organization, but we use it within the marketing department of our faculty. It helps us create our own templates that we can share between users so we can keep our branding consistent across many social media accounts. It's easy to share our concepts with teammates and get feedback so we can further develop ideas.
