The One Thing That Makes Your Content Stand Out in 2026 | Govind Balakrishnan, SVP at Adobe Express

Govind Balakrishnan is the SVP running Adobe Express. He's spent 20 years at Adobe and watched creation move from desktop to mobile to social feeds. We sat down at Cannes to talk about why AI content doesn't get views. His answer: everyone blames the algorithms, but it's humans who are tuning it out. AI now gets you 60–70% of the creative work in minutes. The last 20–30%, where you add your own taste and voice, is the part people actually watch. He also told me why he expects the industry to need more designers 3 years from now. Stay till the end for his advice to designers who are already losing clients to AI.

  Some content gets promoted by social media. It gets admired and some content just stinks. What's the difference?

• 1:08Speaker 03

  Our bar for what we are willing to consume as content is actually going up.

• 1:13Marina Mogilko?

  This is Govind Balakrishnan. He runs Adobe Express and Adobe put it straight into Microsoft Copilot. 350 million people now have his tool inside the apps they already use.

• 1:24Speaker 03

  I find that a number of creators are essentially just using AI to create content, but not spending the time to actually make it their own, to bring their own voice into it.

• 1:34Marina Mogilko?

  The best content still takes a lot of time, even with AI. What advice would you give them as someone who's been in the industry for 20 years?

• 1:40Speaker 03

  I would say to start with embrace the change that's happening. The way you create content has, world has changed and then.

• 1:49Marina Mogilko?

  Hello, everyone. Welcome to Silicon Valley Girl and welcome to Cannes. We're here at Adobe with Govind, who is running Adobe Express and does a lot of cool things at Adobe. I'm really excited to talk to you about the future of creativity. What designers should be thinking about when it comes to planning their career in five years? What should creators be thinking about when they're using a lot of AI tools to create content? So my first question is, we all got access to these amazing tools, but some content gets promoted by social media. It gets admired and some content just stinks. What's the difference?

• 2:28Speaker 03

  I think if you really think about it, I mean, what's changed quite recently is that everyone now has access to tools and capabilities that helps them be creative. Like, for the longest time, creativity was limited by the tools and the need to be proficient in those tools before you could actually create content. Now, we are in that phase where everyone has the ability to create content, but the difference between content that succeeds and the ones that don't is really, it really comes down to the human element that goes into the content. So when we look at content that succeeds, we find that the creators who focus more

• 3:08Speaker 03

  on a distinct point of view, right, a clear visual identity and a voice that their users trust, the people who focus on bringing those elements into their creativity are the ones that are actually standing out. If all you're doing is creating content using AI and just putting it out there without essentially bringing your voice into it, then chances are it's not going to really stand out, it's not going to be successful.

• 3:35Marina Mogilko?

  How do you learn it? So I understand telling my own story when it comes to just talking to a camera. When it comes to creating something visual, how do you learn this taste? Because what actually matters these days a lot is taste. And I don't think I have great taste. I have designers on my team, I have a stylist, because it just doesn't come naturally to me. Is there a way I can learn it so that I create visual assets that blow people away?

• 4:02Speaker 03

  Yeah, I think a lot of it comes down to knowing what your voice is. What do you stand for, right? What's your unique sort of taste, as you put it? What unique sauce that do you have that will make the story, the visual, the creative that you're working on stand out? Because at the end of the day, we all have our own visual identity, right? And the key and the trick is to find ways to pull that out and have that surface in the content that you're creating. So with a tool like Adobe Express, for instance, or Firefly for that matter, we are giving you a number of Controls to to bring your own taste into the picture, into the conversation, right?

• 4:47Speaker 03

  You can either use the granular controls that we have around use it by filters, by controls, by fonts, by colors and all that, but we are now also surfacing the AI assistant in the tool.

• 4:59Marina Mogilko?

  Oh, I saw it's in beta, yeah. I clicked it yesterday, still.

• 5:02Speaker 03

  Exactly, and and what it does is it actually, it was as of a couple of months back, it gave you the ability to enter a prompt and have it generate content for you. It can be an image, it can be a design, it can be a presentation as the case maybe, but we have taken it further to make it conversational. And through that conversational interface, you're essentially speaking with the tool, with the application to get it to build or create exactly what it is that you're trying to create. So that your unique taste and your unique voice comes through.

• 5:35Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 5:35Speaker 03

  And at some level, as you asked, I mean, how do you know? You know by actually seeing the content and feeling like you relate to it. Like more often than not, I find that a number of creators are essentially just using AI to create content, but not spending the time to actually make it their own. To bring their own voice into it, to bring their own vision into it. And that's where I feel like if through trial and error, I feel like creatives, the creators who have succeeded have figured it out and those are the ones who break through.

• 6:10Marina Mogilko?

  Would you say the best process is before you even generate something with AI, is to talk to AI and figure out your like brand kit? And then move it to everything? Would you say that's the right thing to do?

• 6:22Speaker 03

  I think that's a great first step for all creative creators. And it's a step that is quite often forgotten, I would say, or or ignored. People don't start by clearly building their brand or brand kit in a tool like Express. Once you have your brand kit, you can actually iterate through a number of designs and apply your brand kit on those designs. Like we have a one-click brand, apply brand capability in Express, where you can essentially create a bunch of variations, so to speak, of your design and apply the brand kit and see how that looks. And what I would also encourage you to do if you're still in the midst of finding

• 7:04Speaker 03

  your true, your identity, so to speak, is to test the content.

• 7:08Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 7:08Speaker 03

  Right? However, we make it incredibly easy to publish your content to various channels, publish, you know, different versions of your content with, to different channels and see what's, what resonates with your audience. Because at the end of the day, your audience knows.

• 7:22Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 7:22Speaker 03

  You know, you better than, or you know yourself better than anyone else, actually.

• 7:26Marina Mogilko?

  Can you walk me through posting with Adobe Express? What's the process?

• 7:31Speaker 03

  Oh, so, so we are, we have this calendaring option.

• 7:34Marina Mogilko?

  Mm-hmm.

• 7:35Speaker 03

  Within Adobe Express, so from within Express, you can connect your social media channels, be it Facebook, Instagram, TikTok. You have the ability to connect those channels through the app itself and you can schedule your content through them. You have a full calendar view. So if you're working by yourself, you can essentially schedule and post your content. The calendar itself can be shared with your team. You said you have creatives who work with you.

• 8:05Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 8:06Speaker 03

  You can essentially collaborate through the calendar where everyone has access to the same calendar and you can post different pieces of content to different channels at different points in time, day, date, et cetera, through that interface and through that experience. And all of that is integrated deeply into the product.

• 8:26Marina Mogilko?

  What do you think is going to happen to the content world in general? If AI is lowering the barrier to enter and then everybody starts working on their style and sense of what's, what's beautiful, don't you think there will be too much content in the world so that it's going to be very hard for new creators or even like established creators to get visibility?

Learn more at LinkedIn.com/smallbusiness.

• 9:48Speaker 03

  Absolutely. I mean, this is something that I've been, I've been saying for a couple of months. With the advent of AI, what we're now seeing is that the barrier to entry, so to speak, for content creation has been lowered dramatically. Right? So now, if you're an individual who has a story to tell or has an idea to put on, onto a, onto a visual design, there is no excuse to not try to do it. But what it's translated to is that we, as humans, are now flooded with content. And I think what's happening there is that our bar, as humans, our bar for what we are willing to consume as content is actually going up.

• 10:29Marina Mogilko?

  It is rising. Actually, social media is so smart now.

• 10:31Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 10:32Marina Mogilko?

  People are so smart.

• 10:33Speaker 03

  People are smart, right? I mean, if you just post AI-generated content, people just tune you out. They don't actually look at it.

• 10:39Marina Mogilko?

  All like basic stuff, nobody cares.

• 10:41Speaker 03

  Nobody cares. It's, it's, and the, and the distinction is so stark. Like, we keep talking about how the social media algorithms are filtering out content that's created by AI. The reality is it's us humans who are filtering it out, right? If you don't take the time and effort to make your content stand out, it will not break through. It will not break through because we are dealing with a sea of sameness of content. Like, we are flooded with content just coming at us from everywhere. And I think as humans, it doesn't even matter what the algorithms are doing. As humans, we are doing a great job of tuning out content that doesn't resonate with us. And the onus then is on the creators and the creatives to make sure that the content

• 11:26Speaker 03

  that they produce is unique, is distinctive, has a unique point of view and breaks through in a meaningful way. At least breaks through with their audience, right, that they're going after.

• 11:37Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah, I think, I don't know if you're seeing, like, if you have any stats on this, but what I'm seeing as a creator, yes, AI tools augmented the process that I'm, uh, that, wh- wh- how I'm creating content, but I'm still spending pretty much the same amount of time when it comes to writing a beautiful text. Yes, my process is different. I'm chatting to my AI and saying, oh, I don't like this, change that, but it still takes like an hour to create a beautiful piece of, piece of content. Do you have any stats for that? Like, because I think the process has changed, but the best content still takes a lot of time, even with AI.

• 12:10Speaker 03

  I completely agree with that. I don't have a stat that supports that, so to speak.

• 12:15Marina Mogilko?

  It would be interesting.

• 12:16Speaker 03

  It would be very interesting, but I'll say this, right? The narrative that I hear a lot, lot of these days is that AI is eroding creativity. And what we are seeing, uh, through our tools and through the work that's being done by the users of our products, is that AI is actually amplifying creativity. What it's giving you is that, is the ability, as you rightly said, to have the time and the space to bring human judgment into your creative work and into your creative process, right? It's no longer, you're no longer limited by your skill level with the tool. Like, that part has been taken care of for the most part.

• 12:57Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 12:58Speaker 03

  Right? So you, you get to a point, I mean, I, it's, you can say whether it's twenty percent or eighty percent, I would say in most cases, you get to sixty to seventy percent of the creative work using these tools that get you there really, really fast.

• 13:09Marina Mogilko?

  Mm-hmm.

• 13:10Speaker 03

  But then now you have more time to get that last mile, whether you, you call it twenty percent, thirty percent, ten percent, doesn't matter, but that last mile.

• 13:19Marina Mogilko?

  Mm-hmm.

• 13:20Speaker 03

  Where you introduce your unique taste, voice, sauce, you can use different words. You now have more time to do that and you now have more time to get that right. And make that content really compelling.

• 13:34Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 13:34Speaker 03

  So that's the part that I am really excited about, like, because I feel like the narrative is quite incorrect.

• 13:40Marina Mogilko?

  Mm hmm.

• 13:41Speaker 03

  AI is not eroding creativity, it's actually making it more accessible, but it's also amplifying creativity in very meaningful ways.

• 13:47Marina Mogilko?

  So do you think with all of this, we're gonna have more designers in the future? Or, like, I'm just trying to understand, like, when it comes to engineers, for example, right? Their process has been augmented by, I don't know, ninety percent, right? Because it's mostly um AI, AI generated code and then people just check it. Um, when it comes to designers, do you think they are the next profession that's gonna be augmented? And um, does it mean we're gonna have less designers?

• 14:17Speaker 03

  I would position it slightly differently. I think the uh, the role that designers play in the creative process uh, is evolving, right? Uh, as we just spoke.

• 14:29Speaker 03

  The speed at which you create is, is, is changing, right? So you don't need a designer to do everything by hand.

• 14:36Marina Mogilko?

  Mm hmm.

• 14:36Speaker 03

  As much as you did even a year back. But what the designers have to do is to really figure out the strategy of how you get the content that you're creating to stand out and, and really meet your audience where they want to be met.

• 14:55Marina Mogilko?

  Mm hmm.

• 14:56Speaker 03

  And that is a pretty significant shift. So I wouldn't say that the, and this is exactly what's happening with software engineering as well. It, at least we haven't gotten to a point where we need fewer engineers. We are getting to a point where the work that's done by the engineers is slightly different.

• 15:11Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 15:11Speaker 03

  And the, and the speed at which they can create or generate code is, or build code, build capabilities has moved, has become faster. But their role has changed and similarly with design. You need people who come up with a strategy, strategy for which, what is, what is the unique voice that I bring to the table? Which channels work better? What kind of content works for which, which channel? When we spoke about the sea of sameness, how do I stand out in the sea of sameness? How do I not look like everyone else?

• 15:43Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 15:43Speaker 03

  What strategy can I use from a content, from a text, from a visual point of view to make it look different? So, I think the role changes. I don't think the number of designers actually changes. In many ways, given the need to stand out, I would say that you probably will end up needing more designers over time.

• 16:05Marina Mogilko?

  Can you give an example of a process that has to be done with AI? Like, so that anyone can do like a quick check? What am I doing day to day? What should AI be handling for me?

• 16:16Speaker 03

  It can also do things like accessibility checking. It can make sure that your text is of the right font, the right size. So all that can be done automatically. You don't have to do it manually and I am continuing to see more and more, sorry, designers not necessarily adopt these capabilities, probably because they don't know that they exist. Maybe we need to do a better job of surfacing them more prominently, but the capabilities exist. And it's a matter of, yes, you know, using them and not spend the time fine tuning these capabilities. Sorry, these brand elements. The other one I'll quickly touch on is essentially creating variations of your content for different channels.

• 16:57Speaker 03

  Because most creators and creatives are creating, are trying to meet their audience and their community through various channels. And they are tweaking the content by hand to essentially optimize the content for various channels.

• 17:14Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 17:14Speaker 03

  When in reality, tools like Express, within Express, give you the ability to do that with a click of a button.

• 17:20Marina Mogilko?

  Like, for example?

• 17:22Speaker 03

  You can essentially create a post for

• 17:26Speaker 03

  Twitter, Instagram, Facebook with a click of a button.

• 17:30Marina Mogilko?

  Oh, with like different resolution.

• 17:32Speaker 03

  Resolutions and it will essentially reset your design and adjust your design to fit the format that you're trying to resize for.

• 17:40Marina Mogilko?

  Okay, we need to take it a step further. I want to be able to upload my podcast and create a carousel, please. I think using like connecting the formats because it's still where a lot of work happens, I'd ideally just give it the highlights and tell like, hey, this is a podcast, this is what ideally I want it to be and just create this repurposing. I think this is where what the market really, really wants.

• 18:03Speaker 03

  Yeah, so this is very, very much aligned with some of the work that we're doing. So as I said, I think you have a role to play in our advisory board. So that's great.

• 18:14Speaker 03

  But one of the areas that we are actually investing quite heavily, it's not taking a podcast to create content, but we're investing heavily in taking PDF documents in Acrobat and taking the consumption workflow of documents in Acrobat and converting them into visual documents, like a presentation, like a flyer, like a.

• 18:41Marina Mogilko?

  That's the new Acrobat feature, the spaces, right? I really, really like it. I think it makes so much sense. Instead of sending a PDF, you can send, you can just chat with it, basically. You send a workspace that you can use for whatever. I think that thing, I really, really appreciate it as someone who works with a lot of PDFs and has to chat with them.

• 19:00Speaker 03

  So the use case that you brought up around taking a podcast and converting that into an Instagram carousel is another use case that's quite similar because you're taking a consumption modality, so to speak, to a creation modality, right? And that's an area, as I said, we are absolutely focused on. We're spending more time doing that right now with PDF documents and Acrobat, but we do expect to expand that to other modalities as well.

• 19:28Marina Mogilko?

  That would be awesome. Hopefully like in the next year. It's more automated because that's, that's a lot of management from my side when it comes to like distributing the podcast across different social media. I have another question. So what's happening with the way we work these days is that we basically like it used to be multiple windows, right? My email, my.

• 19:50Marina Mogilko?

  Slack, then I have different windows open with different apps. What we're seeing now is that we select one AI that we're working with, and a lot of tools are getting embedded in that AI. There are connectors, etc., so I'm just basically in one chat window. Do you see this as a threat to Adobe? If Adobe is integrated in my AI and I never see the brand, I'm just like calling out a tool and I'm just talking to my chat.

• 20:19Speaker 03

  Yeah, at the end of the day, what matters most to us, Marina, is the ability to meet our customers where they are and where they're trying to get their work done, right?

• 20:31Speaker 03

  As you said, increasingly, these surfaces are becoming a one-stop-shop for work.

• 20:37Marina Mogilko?

  All the work.

• 20:38Speaker 03

  All your work, right?

• 20:38Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 20:39Speaker 03

  And to expect you to, or to force you to essentially go to a completely different product or a different experience just for your creative, the creative part of your workflow, when everything else is happening in these chat platforms, feels, doesn't feel sort of welcoming or doesn't feel, you know, creator-friendly.

• 21:01Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 21:01Speaker 03

  So our focus right now is to essentially meet our customers where they are. We, as I mentioned briefly, we have already done this at scale with an Acrobat, where we are now contextually surfacing many of the creation capabilities that you get from Express with an Acrobat. So you could be reading a document. You have, you see an image. We give you the ability to edit that image. You could take a document and create a presentation from it. So you're not forced to go into Express to create a presentation. You're in Acrobat, you're creating a presentation. You're in Acrobat, you're editing your image. So we started doing that around a year back, and we have built a ton of experience and expertise doing that

• 21:44Speaker 03

  by contextually surfacing the right experiences in that surface. And now we're taking that further by contextually surfacing design capabilities in some of these platforms, chat platforms, so that we meet you where you are.

• 21:58Marina Mogilko?

  Mm-hmm.

• 21:59Speaker 03

  You still have the ability to go to our products and use them there. You may still need to go there to do finer-grained editing and finer-grain control, but we are hoping that you get a good part of the way by just using the capabilities that are accessible through those platforms.

• 22:16Marina Mogilko?

  So you've been doing this for twenty years, right? You've been in the industry. What, and you've seen so many things happen, right? We went from, you know, computer to mobile, social media. What is the one thing that hasn't changed in the past twenty years that you think is not gonna change in the next ten years?

• 22:36Speaker 03

  Yeah, it's actually been quite a journey, to be very honest. Uh, I mean, as you mentioned, the tools have changed. Uh, platforms have changed, the channels where people create content and, and publish content has changed. The speed uh of creating content has changed dramatically over the past couple of years in particular. But the one thing that has uh actually remained constant is the innate uh desire that humans have to say something and to create content that is truly and authentically theirs.

• 23:13Marina Mogilko?

  Mm-hmm.

• 23:14Speaker 03

  Right? That's the one thing that has actually never changed. In the past, you needed to be a creative professional, so to speak. Right? You needed to be a painter, you needed to be a digital artist who's, who can use a tool like Photoshop and Illustrator to actually be able to, you know, say something or create something that was truly yours. Now that's no longer an issue, so to speak, but that innate desire has actually always existed. That is why companies like Adobe have, you know, done what they have done because our mission from the very beginning, uh, previously we used to say it is creativity for all.

• 23:53Speaker 03

  Now, around a year back, we uh shifted it slightly to say empowering everyone to create.

• 24:00Marina Mogilko?

  Hmm.

• 24:01Speaker 03

  And that mission statement is rooted in the fact that every human wants to, they have something to say and wants to be able to say it in, in their own way, their own voice. And, and that's the one thing that hasn't changed.

• 24:18Marina Mogilko?

  Can you give advice to people who really want to start saying something and express their creativity? But they don't know where to start because there are so many tools and everything. Can you give them like the first three steps they should take?

• 24:32Speaker 03

  I mean, coming from Adobe and Express, I would say they would, they should open up Adobe Express or Firefly and start with the AI assistant. And we now have the AI assistant in both products to, to describe what you want to say. And converse with the application to essentially help the application create what you wanted, wanted to create. And iterate on it enough to make it feel like it's yours, right?

• 25:06Speaker 03

  Don't just settle, don't, don't take what comes up with first and say, okay, I'm done. But take the time to really make it yours. So start by, start with the tool, start with the AI assistant. It is the simplest way to essentially describe what's in your mind's eye. Right? Use words to describe in your, what's in your mind's eye.

• 25:27Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 25:28Speaker 03

  And, and see what the tool does for you.

• 25:32Marina Mogilko?

  Do two more steps or, or that's it?

• 25:33Speaker 03

  I would say that's the first, that's the most, that's the most important one. And I would, maybe the second and the third step is just iterate on it as much as you can.

• 25:40Marina Mogilko?

  And post, I think posting is really important because a lot of people iterate, iterate, iterate, and they never post because they think it's imperfect, so they never get feedback.

• 25:48Speaker 03

  That's actually a really important point. It's post and iterate based on results.

• 25:54Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 25:54Speaker 03

  Don't iterate just based on what you think is right.

• 25:56Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 25:57Speaker 03

  Because more often than not, what we think is right or what we think is perfect is not what's right.

• 26:02Marina Mogilko?

  Oh, yeah. And you see this trend on social media now when you're trying to create imperfect content, to just make sure, you know, everybody understands that it's in the moment, like the, the social media style.

• 26:14Speaker 03

  That's right.

• 26:15Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah. Okay, um, three years from now, how much of today's design work you think still needs a human? Where does the humans stay?

• 27:26Speaker 03

  It will come down to the strategy and the human judgment piece that we spoke about. That is going to be where we are going to continue to need humans, especially because more and more content is going to be generated. I think we are going to find ways to... We are going to have to find ways to make the content stand out. And if we don't leverage human judgment to help us do that, I think you're going to find... Increasingly, you're going to find creators who will struggle to break through. So the speed of evolution, the speed of creation, is only going to continue to increase.

• 28:11Speaker 03

  And I think we just need to not lose sight of who we are.

• 28:18Speaker 03

  Uh what's unique about us.

• 28:20Marina Mogilko?

  Uh huh.

• 28:21Speaker 03

  Uh what what makes us and our content different from everyone else? And how we sort of use the tools and capabilities to make the content different.

• 28:33Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 28:34Speaker 03

  From everyone else.

• 28:36Marina Mogilko?

  Can we wrap up with advice for people who are scared about the future? Maybe there is a designer watching or listening to this and they're like, yeah, I already see less clients. Cause you know, they're they're opting for AI tools and I'm scared what to expect. What advice would you give them as someone who's been in the industry for twenty years?

• 28:58Speaker 03

  Uh huh. Yeah, I would say to start with embrace uh the change that's happening, right? Embrace the fact that content creation, the way you create content has evolved, has changed. And then look for ways to be unique. Look for ways to show how you can build a brand and extend a brand, right? And that brand and more more often than not could be your own brand and that's perfectly, not just fine, that's actually great.

• 29:30Marina Mogilko?

  That's the best.

• 29:31Speaker 03

  That's the best, exactly. So don't settle.

• 29:35Marina Mogilko?

  Uh huh.

• 29:36Speaker 03

  Uh for for something that's that's no different from someone else, like. Bring your element, your human element into the creative process and make it stand out.

• 29:51Marina Mogilko?

  Yeah.

• 29:51Speaker 03

  I mean, you have to find what's different because we are we're all dealing with an unbelievable amount of content that's coming at us and that is not sustainable. It's not sustainable, it's not what's going to succeed. The creators who succeed are the ones who recognize that they need to stand out in a meaningful way.

• 30:11Marina Mogilko?

  Totally. And as someone who hires creative people all the time, I would say the market hasn't adopted yet because we're like, we're actively looking for people. We need people, but it's so hard to find someone who already embraced those tools. A lot of people are doing it the old way, which is great and is still working. But let's think about what's going to happen in two years, right? You just want to execute at a faster speed. You want to be able to create different visuals for different companies within a few hours. And AI tools are going to help you with that and eventually you'll be able to take on more clients.

• 30:45Speaker 03

  You're going to be able to take on more clients and still deliver content that stands out, that is differentiated, that can break through, or that people want to consume.

• 30:54Marina Mogilko?

  Absolutely. Govind, thank you so much. It was very inspiring, very encouraging, and as a user, I'm waiting for those features. Podcast to carousel, please, or like even like voice note to carousel. If it's a single app, oh my God, you're going to crush it.
