The Blue Acorn iCi team is proud to announce that Katie Klein has been recognized as an Adobe Analytics Champion for the Class of 2025-2026. This marks Katie’s fourth time receiving the award, a testament to her ongoing impact across the Adobe ecosystem.

The Adobe Champion Program represents Adobe's most passionate brand ambassadors and expert practitioners. With only 40 people selected to be a part of this program, 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 She Was Selected

The Adobe Analytics Champion program recognizes top experts and community leaders who drive innovation, share best practices, and help shape the future of analytics. Throughout her years in the program, Katie has expanded her impact across the Adobe ecosystem and the broader data-driven marketing and measurement community, gaining the confidence and platform to apply for —and ultimately win —the Adobe Experience Maker Ambassador Award in 2024.

What It Means To Katie

“I’m so grateful to be part of the Adobe Analytics Champions program for the fourth time. In past years, I’ve had the privilege of serving on the Leadership Committee, and each experience has reminded me how special this community really is. The program has given me more than just opportunities to learn and grow - it’s connected me with brilliant peers, innovative Adobe teams, and supportive friends. It’s helped me stretch myself, build more confidence, and pursue goals I might not have chased otherwise. I’m really looking forward to what’s ahead this year and continuing to learn from and give back to this incredible group,” Klein stated.

Blue Acorn iCi looks forward to the great work Katie will continue to provide her 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.
