Welcome to all the new members who joined this month! We’re excited to have you in the Adobe AEM Community🎉. Whether you’re brand new or have been here a while, this space is all about learning, sharing, and connecting with peers who get what you do every day. 

In a world where so much is automated and AI-driven, this space is different — it’s built on humans helping humans. Every question asked, every tip shared, every reply left here makes a real difference. 

If you’re new, this is your first touchpoint — and we’re truly glad you’re here. Think of this thread as a friendly café table where you can pull up a chair, say hi, and get to know others who “get” what you do. To get started, share:

  • What company and role are you in
  • Which feature you’re using most 
  • One area you want to get better at 
  • How long have you been working with AEM
  • How long have you been using AEM

And give us your answer to this month's Ice Breaker question for all to kick things off: 
👉 If you could rename one feature in AEM to something more fun, what would you call it? 

✨ If you’re already part of the community, jump in too — share a tip, answer a question, or just welcome someone new. Every reply makes this space more valuable for everyone. 

We are assigning veteran SMEs in a round-robin fashion, and they will be your primary point of contact for any operational or community-related issues.

Buddies for this month: @estebanbustamante@narendiran_ravi@sarav_prakash@sreenivasbr@anil_chennapragada@martin_ecx_io@diksha_mishra@dprakashraj@dipti_chauhan@arunpatidar and @tarunkumar

Hey Kautuk,

I’m Julian Tong, currently working as an Executive in E-Commerce, Digital Experience, and Webmaster at the Langham Hospitality Group. My role involves managing web operations, optimizing user experience, and ensuring accessibility across our digital platforms — including several hotel websites built on AEM.

  • Company & Role: LHG – Executive, E-Commerce & Digital Experience
  • Most-used Feature: AEM Sites & Components
  • Area I Want to Improve: Understanding how to personalize and create better site designs, as well as optimizing content and tailoring it to my audience's needs
  • Experience with AEM: About a few months
  • Using AEM: Actively since I started!

🔹 Ice Breaker Answer:
If I could rename one AEM feature, I’d call the “Content Fragment Models” something like “Puzzle pieces” lol.

 

Looking forward to learning from everyone here and sharing ideas. Feel free to reach out if you’re working on anything related to hospitality or multilingual site management!

Welcome, @julianto1! Great to have someone from the hospitality space here. Managing multiple hotel sites in AEM sounds both exciting and challenging. Love your take on ‘Content Fragment Models’ being like puzzle pieces 😊. Curious to know how do you usually approach balancing brand consistency across all hotel sites while tailoring content to each property’s audience?

Thanks, appreciate it 🙂 I'll try and stay active as much as I can, as we do have a lot of tasks to get on. I think the best way I approach consistency is by maintaining the same workflow across everything - down to the finest detail. As you have so much material constantly coming in and out, we always have to prepare for peak seasons and any campaigns that come in during certain times of the year. 

Then in terms of tailoring content, it becomes more straightforward when there’s a strong brand identity in place. We’re guided by clear brand requirements, and that naturally helps us strike the right balance between consistency and localization. It’s all about adapting within what you're working with, rather than reinventing it each time.
