Case Study: Thermo Fisher Scientific achieves 16% more projects and a 70% reduction in reporting time with Adobe Workfront

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Creative Innovation Studio improves operational and process efficiency with Workfront

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Creative Innovation Studio, a shared-services marketing team within the life sciences leader, was struggling with fragmented tools and manual processes. Its 40+ designers, writers, project and resource managers—supporting 75+ stakeholders and producing 4,000+ marketing projects per year—needed a single, easy-to-use solution to speed production, standardize workflows, and improve visibility.

The Studio deployed Workfront to standardize creative ideation, approvals, capacity planning, workflow automation, proofing, and reporting. Online proofing and automated workflows shortened review cycles and clarified roles, dashboards gave stakeholders the right visibility, and capacity planning introduced transparency—yielding 16% more projects completed, higher team productivity, a 70% reduction in reporting time (from ~7 to ~2 hours weekly), and positive recognition from leadership.
