How Genixovate Used Adobe GenStudio to Power Weekly Publishing

By Genixovate

When I set out to publish weekly at Genixovate, my process was a patchwork of manual steps. Every week, I’d chase down drafts, update the editorial calendar, schedule social posts, and send out newsletters—each task handled separately, often by hand. It was exhausting, error-prone, and left little time for strategy or creativity. I knew I needed a smarter way. That’s when I discovered Adobe GenStudio.

The Challenge: Manual Mayhem
My old workflow looked like this:

Writers submitted drafts via email or Google Docs
Editors tracked revisions in spreadsheets
Social media posts were scheduled one by one
Newsletter content was copied and pasted into our email platform
Analytics were checked manually, days after publishing
It was slow, stressful, and impossible to scale. I wanted to publish more, but the process was holding me back.

Enter Adobe GenStudio: The Automation Game-Changer
Adobe GenStudio is an AI-powered automation platform built for branding and content teams. I realized I could use it to automate almost every step of my publishing process. Here’s my exact process:

Content Collection: GenStudio watches a shared Creative Cloud folder for new drafts. When a file is added, it notifies editors in Slack and creates a Trello card for tracking.
Editorial Workflow: As editors update the Trello card status, GenStudio sends reminders for pending reviews and moves approved drafts to a “Ready to Publish” folder.
Publishing & Distribution: Once a draft is approved, GenStudio automatically posts it to our CMS, schedules social media posts via Buffer, and drafts the newsletter in MailerLite.
Analytics & Reporting: After publishing, GenStudio pulls analytics from Google Analytics and social platforms, then sends a summary report to the team every Friday.
The Results: 80% Less Manual Work
Since implementing Adobe GenStudio, weekly publishing has gone from chaos to clockwork. I:

Cut manual admin time by 80%
Publish more consistently (and with fewer errors)
Have real-time visibility into every stage of the workflow
Can focus on writing and strategy, not busywork
Lessons Learned
Start small: I began by automating just one part of the process, then expanded as I got comfortable.
Document everything: Clear workflow docs made it easy for new team members to jump in.
Keep iterating: I tweak my GenStudio workflows every month as needs evolve.
