the left-brained vs. the right-brained, and I think most members of these two groups are very happy where they are and want nothing to do with the &#8220;other side&#8221;.\u00a0 I can&#8217;t think of many designers who would jump up and down enthusiastically at the thought of integrating analytics tools into their workflows.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice it to say, Adobe has its work cut out for itself in terms of brand positioning in the future if the company does plan to integrate design and analytics into its existing products.\u00a0 To many people, they&#8217;re like oil and water.\u00a0 Can Adobe fuse the two mindsets into a coherent package?\u00a0 Can the subjective creative process marry the objective analysis process?\u00a0 It remains to be seen if these two opposites attract.\u00a0 Can Adobe succeed?\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 At a time when most brands are working toward contraction and strength from focus, is Adobe making the right choice to extend its brand to include a seemingly disjointed product?<\/p>\n<p>Can design and analytics live happily ever after together?<\/p>\n<p><em>Image: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/deadling\/819217509\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, Adobe announced it is acquiring Omniture for $1.8 billion.\u00a0 Adobe is a brand known for making graphic and web design software products.\u00a0 Omniture is known for making web analytics tools.\u00a0 Adobe claims the acquisition will allow designers, developers and online marketers to have an integrated workflow from design all the way to tracking [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[5915,5914,1201,112,1200,100,110,5916],"class_list":{"0":"post-29788","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-brand","7":"tag-adobe","8":"tag-adobe-omniture","9":"tag-brand-contraction","10":"tag-brand-extension","11":"tag-brand-focus","12":"tag-brand-strategy","13":"tag-corporate-branding","14":"tag-omniture","15":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Adobe - Losing Brand Focus or Extending the Brand Wisely<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Adobe is buying Omniture -- can design and analytics live happily ever after?\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/adobe-losing-brand-focus-or-extending-the-brand-wisely\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Adobe - Losing Brand Focus or Extending the Brand Wisely\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Adobe is buying Omniture -- can design and analytics live happily ever after?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/adobe-losing-brand-focus-or-extending-the-brand-wisely\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Corporate Eye\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/susangunelius\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-09-18T01:16:17+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/adobe-creative-suite.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Susan Gunelius\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@susangunelius\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@lucynixon\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Susan Gunelius\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/adobe-losing-brand-focus-or-extending-the-brand-wisely\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/adobe-losing-brand-focus-or-extending-the-brand-wisely\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Susan Gunelius\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.corporate-eye.com\/main\/#\/schema\/person\/a46ee0d1e91b41488959551cef624759\"},\"headline\":\"Adobe &#8211;
