This post builds on our original GenStudio for Performance Marketing in 5 Minutes overview. In that post, we explored what GenStudio is, how to get started, and where it fits in the content creation process.
Since then, we’ve continued testing GenStudio and tracking its evolution. Here’s what we’ve learned—and what’s new.
Real-World Use Cases for GenStudio
GenStudio helps marketers scale content creation and personalization. Here are a few high-impact use cases:
- Reuse content from past campaigns across multiple channels
- Personalize content by product, offer, or audience segment
- Localize content for different languages and regions
- Optimize content using performance insights
These use cases make GenStudio a powerful tool for performance marketing teams.
What’s New in GenStudio
Adobe continues to enhance GenStudio with new features and integrations. Since our initial review, here are some of the most notable updates:
- Multilingual content creation in 12 languages
- Video support for LinkedIn and Meta templates
- Rich text formatting in content variants
- Starter templates to accelerate creative production
- Workfront Proof integration for streamlined reviews
You can find the full list of updates and fixes on Adobe’s release notes page.
What’s Working and What We’d Like to See
Development Considerations
GenStudio is primarily UI-based, which makes version control tricky. We recommend managing template versions outside the platform. Keeping multiple versions inside GenStudio can confuse users and clutter the workspace.
However, deleting templates can break experiences built from them. Proceed with caution.
Although rudimentary, it is possible to use the search tool to find a template and then create an experience from that template. It can be used while navigating templates, or when creating new content and prompted for a template, as in the example pictured below.
Activation Channels Are Expanding
GenStudio now supports activation to Meta, Google Campaign Manager 360, and LinkedIn. Adobe has also announced upcoming support for:
- Microsoft Advertising
- Snap
- TikTok
Integration with Adobe Journey Optimizer (AJO) is now available as well.
Managing Multiple Brands
We’ve added several brands to our GenStudio instance, including the one behind LumaX—our shopping experience site that demonstrates Edge Delivery Services, StreamX, Adobe Commerce, and Adobe Experience Platform integrations.
Adobe has previewed a Unified Branding Service in webinars, but we’re still waiting on official documentation and guidance on how to use it across applications.

Final Thoughts
We’re excited about GenStudio’s momentum and its growing list of features. As we continue building experiences that align with our clients’ needs, here are the things we’d love to see from Adobe in the future:
- Best practices for image generation
- Guidance on organizing assets
- Faster performance and load times
As GenStudio evolves, so does the opportunity to reimagine how we create, personalize, and activate content at scale. We’re committed to exploring what’s possible—and sharing what we learn—so our clients can stay ahead in a fast-moving digital landscape.
