Adobe has today acquired privately held Behance, a leading online social media platform that enables creative professionals to showcase and share their work. The acquisition of Behance will accelerate Adobe's strategy to bring great community features to Creative Cloud, making it the ultimate hub for creatives worldwide.
"When we launched Creative Cloud earlier this year, we committed that we would give members new value on an ongoing basis. Last week, we launched new training features, file synchronization and sharing capabilities, digital publishing services and significant updates to a number of our tools, including Photoshop," commented David Wadhwani, senior vice president and general manager, Adobe.
"Behance will play a key role in Adobe's efforts to serve the creative world in the years to come and will accelerate our efforts to enable a more open and collaborative creative community."
In the last 30 days, portfolios on Behance-powered sites have received over 90 million views and today there are over 3 million projects hosted on the Behance platform.
