We’re excited to see strong momentum continue into Week 2 for our L1 1/21 Studio Release. 

 

Studio’s new capabilities are driving top‑of‑funnel traction, with social performance exceeding expectations at 40.7M interactions, fueled primarily by influencers, most notably Hasan Minaj, who contributed 64% of total interactions. Community initiatives continued rolling out including demos with top tech media and an Adobe HQ Creative Jam event. 

 

LCM deployed announcement emails across free and paid audiences (147.3M) and will continue delivering new‑feature‑value messaging through the end of March.  

 

Web traffic to overall Acrobat L1 launch pages rose 51% vs. baseline, with strong contributions from paid social and display, Week 2 web orders increased 10% vs baseline across L1 Launch pages, and overall conversion rate is increasing  -5% (vs -22% day 7) due to the introduction of the soft offer. 

 

In‑product marketing and PDF Spaces also performed strongly, highlighted by the record‑setting “PDF Spaces in Action – Marketing , which drew 10K+ users, outperforming comparable spaces by 15×.  

 

Stay tuned for more performance insights in the Day 30 report.
