The Blue Acorn iCi team is proud to announce that Gary Howell, VP of Adobe Experience Manager Digital Solutions, has been recognized as an Adobe Experience Manager Champion for the Class of 2025-2026. This marks Gary's third consecutive time receiving the award, a testament to his ongoing contributions to Adobe content and his active participation in conversations and events that continue to elevate both his career and his impact at Adobe.

The Adobe Champion Program represents Adobe's most passionate brand ambassadors and expert practitioners; the entire Blue Acorn iCi team couldn't be more proud.

Adobe Champion Program Explanation

According to Adobe, the Adobe Champion Program recognizes individual product experts from around the world who are passionate about sharing their expertise and best practices to support fellow customers, accelerating their personal and professional growth by engaging in industry and thought leadership opportunities, and collaborating with Adobe product teams to inform future product features and enhancements.

Starting over a decade ago, and originating from a grassroots effort to recognize top Adobe Marketo Engage customers, the program now expands to include Adobe Analytics and Adobe Experience Manager. Each year, a cohort of expert practitioners submit applications to be selected to participate in the Champion Program. Chosen individuals are afforded a prestigious opportunity and platform to learn and grow from fellow product experts and internal Adobe product leaders.

How He Was Selected

Adobe judges hand-select individuals who they believe will be ambassadors for its products and fit its criteria. Gary Howell was selected due to his consistent contributions to Adobe and his active engagement with Adobe conversations and events.

What It Means To Gary

“The Adobe Champion program has been instrumental in my personal development and career growth, and I'm deeply humbled to continue my involvement for a third consecutive year. Being part of this incredible group allows me to collaborate with a network of the most innovative minds in the industry along with keeping me motivated and on my toes each and every day. I couldn't be happier to be selected again and looking forward to the opportunity to continue to learn, grow, and help others out along with bringing that knowledge to our clients at Blue Acorn iCi,” Howell stated.

Blue Acorn iCi looks forward to the great work Gary will continue to provide his clients and colleagues. If your organization needs assistance determining the best Adobe products and solutions for your business, contact the Blue Acorn iCi team today.
