In the rapidly evolving landscape of financial services, the ability to harness data and artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a competitive advantage—it’s a necessity. As customer expectations rise and regulatory pressures intensify, banks, insurers, and asset managers are turning to AI-driven MarTech transformation to modernize their data infrastructure and deliver hyper-personalized experiences. At the heart of this transformation is the strategic partnership between Publicis Sapient and Adobe, empowering financial institutions to unlock the full potential of their data while navigating the complexities unique to their industry.
Financial services organizations face a unique set of challenges: legacy systems, siloed data, stringent regulatory requirements, and the urgent need to deliver seamless, personalized experiences across channels. The shift away from third-party cookies and the rise of privacy-first digital ecosystems have made first-party data the cornerstone of effective marketing and customer engagement.
Modernizing data infrastructure is the first step. By leveraging cloud-native platforms and advanced customer data platforms (CDPs), financial institutions can unify disparate data sources—ranging from transactional records to digital interactions—into a single, actionable view of each customer. This unified data foundation is essential for both regulatory compliance and the delivery of real-time, relevant experiences.
The integration of AI into MarTech stacks is transforming how financial services organizations engage with their customers. Through the combined expertise of Publicis Sapient and Adobe, institutions can:
Financial services operate in one of the most highly regulated environments. Data privacy, security, and compliance are non-negotiable. Publicis Sapient’s approach ensures that modernization initiatives are built on secure, compliant architectures. By leveraging cloud services and AI platforms with built-in safeguards, institutions can confidently scale their personalization efforts while meeting regulatory obligations.
Beyond compliance and customer experience, data modernization opens the door to new monetization opportunities. Financial institutions are increasingly exploring ways to leverage their data assets—such as through the creation of media networks or by offering anonymized insights to partners—while maintaining strict privacy controls. AI-powered analytics platforms enable organizations to identify and activate these opportunities, driving incremental revenue and business growth.
A leading investment firm partnered with Publicis Sapient to move beyond a simple website upgrade, embarking on a comprehensive digital transformation.

The result: a unified, world-class platform capable of delivering targeted messaging and supporting expansion into new markets.
A global asset management company faced challenges with inconsistent digital experiences across 90+ websites.

This enabled the firm to respond quickly to market changes and deliver a consistent, high-quality brand experience worldwide.
