Align your marketing team—from the big picture to daily tasks

In most enterprises, marketing strategy, budgets, projects, and performance all live in separate systems. Finance tracks investments in one place, work management tools handle projects in another, and performance data is scattered across even more platforms. The result: silos, manual reconciliation, and slow decisions.

 

Uptempo was built to connect marketing investments to performance—giving leaders visibility and confidence that every dollar is working harder. And for teams already using Adobe Workfront for project management, the two platforms work seamlessly together. Uptempo links strategy, budgets, and financial outcomes, while Workfront drives execution.

 

Here’s how enterprise marketing teams benefit from using Uptempo and Adobe Workfront:

Strategic planning

Provides robust tools to align marketing strategies with business goals.

Financial management

Centralizes budgeting processes, linking budgets directly to campaign activities.

ROI tracking

Offers real-time analytics to measure campaign impact effectively.

Project execution

Manages tasks, timelines, and creative workflows efficiently.

Collaboration tools

Facilitates team collaboration with integrated communication features.

Asset management

Integrates seamlessly with Adobe Creative Cloud for asset creation and management.

Uptempo or Workfront?

What each platform brings to the table.

Uptempo doesn’t manage projects, and Workfront doesn’t manage marketing investments. Each solves a different challenge, which is why enterprises often use them together.

What about Workfront Plan?

Workfront Plan is a module in Adobe Workfront that supports capacity planning and project prioritization. Uptempo addresses a different need: connecting marketing strategy and budgets to financial outcomes. While both support aspects of marketing planning, they serve different capacities—two distinct but complementary functions.

Workfront Plan supports bottom-up execution in Workfront. It helps teams map out projects, allocate resources, and manage day-to-day tasks—ensuring every marketer knows what to do and when.

Uptempo is built for top-down strategy. It connects budgets, forecasts, and performance data to campaign plans, giving marketing leaders and finance teams a single view of investment and impact.
