A Decade of Partnership with Adobe
We believe technology is a tool for solving client problems, and for more than a decade, we've leveraged the Adobe Experience Cloud as one of our primary tools.
Where traditional approaches fragment, our Enterprise Experience Transformation Practice integrates. We break down silos to accelerate transformation and deliver experiences that drive measurable business growth.
Code and Theory's Experience Transformation Practice reimagines consulting for the AI age by fusing strategy, technology, and creativity into a single powerful language. We're bridging creative intelligence with artificial intelligence.
Insights and Thinking from Our Team at Adobe Summit 2025

Adobe Summit Gets Personal: What You Need to Know and See
For over two decades, CMOs, CTOs, CXOs and the like have been chasing the holy grail of personalization: a two-way experience that forges true 1-1 intimacy between brands and customers, not just one-way streets to better targeting. Today we finally have the technology to deliver on this ambition and do it at scale with the integration of AI. Explore the story from Code and Theory's Experience Transformation Team.

The Personalization Myth: How We’ve Failed and What We Can Do

Cory Haldeman, Code and Theory's Chief Transformation Officer, explores how to break free of the better hammer. Read the story.
