# Changing the Way: The Opening Keynote



 

 

 

 

2026 has felt like a decade already.

That is how Acquia Chief Market Officer Jen Griffin-Smith opens Engage London 2026 — and it sets the tone for the day. In a year where plans have shifted, AI has rewritten what is possible, and customer expectations keep accelerating, the brands that win are the ones changing the way they work.

In this opening keynote, Jen celebrates six of them.

UNICEF reaches 1.4 million parents across 15 countries through BAPO — a single Drupal-based platform that delivers parenting guidance in 15 languages, including in crisis-affected areas, with 84% of parents reporting greater confidence in raising their children.

Save the Children consolidated onto one high-performance platform, reduced operating expense, and reinvested savings back into the mission of fighting for every child's right to survive, learn, and be protected.

Legrand runs a global web factory of more than 60 sites, blocked bad-bot pressure with centralized governance, and doubled web traffic, document downloads, and customer contacts.

MARS built a regional brand toolkit that halved development time, reduced ongoing maintenance by 40%, and cut initial costs by 20%.

Bayer increased accessibility scores by 20% in three months.

And Saint-Gobain Denmark consolidated four brands and four maintenance budgets onto one multi-site platform — tripling traffic and reducing maintenance effort by four times.

Six customers. One idea. Change the way.
