Adobe Acrobat released its first-ever original episodic comedy series, 'The Marketers' —a bold evolution from traditional brand marketing into a full-scale TV franchise.
What began as a parody campaign around the Acrobat Jingle has grown into a five-episode workplace comedy that follows two wildly overconfident marketers trying to top their previous success. Along the way, they assemble an 'Alpha Squad' of exaggerated marketing archetypes, chase thought leadership glory, and attempt to build the next great Acrobat campaign.
The result: a TV-style scripted comedy series that lives natively on YouTube and puts Acrobat at the center of the story.
