Unleash your potential
with Canva
When everyone on your team can create, magic happens
Watching a marketing coordinator craft a social media post or seeing your sales manager create a presentation is truly impactful. When your team isn't limited by design skills or waiting for external help, ideas flow faster, and campaigns launch quicker.
That's the reality for teams using Canva. It's not just about making things look pretty; it's about removing the creative barriers that can slow you down.
What is Canva?
Canva is a cloud-based visual design platform that puts professional design tools in everyone's hands. Whether you're creating social media graphics, presentations, marketing materials, or business documents, Canva provides drag-and-drop simplicity with professional-quality results.
Born in Australia and now used by over 235 million people globally, Canva has revolutionised how businesses approach visual communication. It bridges the gap between needing professional design and having the budget or time to make it happen.
The problems Canva solves
The creative
skills shortage
Many businesses need regular visual content but often have few or no team members with design skills. This creates delays and reliance on others who don’t have design as their key responsibility. It often means settling for subpar visuals that don't represent your brand in the way you would like.
Budget constraints and
resource allocation
Hiring professional graphic designers or agencies for every graphic, presentation, or social post isn't financially viable for most businesses. The costs add up quickly, and turnaround times don't match the pace that you need.
No brand
consistency
When different departments create their own materials using various tools and approaches, your brand becomes inconsistent. Marketing uses one style, sales another, and HR something completely different, diluting your brand.
Time-consuming
approval cycles
Traditional design workflows can involve multiple stakeholders, endless revision rounds, and version control nightmares. What should take minutes stretches into days or even weeks, slowing down campaigns and frustrating everyone involved.
Why your business needs Canva
Design for
everyone
Canva puts the power of design in the hands of anyone who has something to create. This means you can keep design in-house and in the hands of those who understand your message best.
Team-specific design
capabilities
Your marketing team can create exactly what they envision, your sales team can customise materials for specific prospects and your leadership can build presentations that truly reflect their vision.
Unleashing creativity
with ease
Canva makes it easy to turn ideas into visuals, even without design experience. When your team isn't held back by technical skills or external reliance, creativity can flourish and magic happens.
Canva's standout features
AI design
assistance
Canva's Magic Studio uses artificial intelligence to help you create better designs faster. Canva’s AI acts as a creative assistant, helping you generate images from text, remove backgrounds, and suggest layout improvements, making professional-quality design available to all.
Brand management
at scale
Using Canva's Brand Kit feature means that all your designs align seamlessly with your company's brand identity. Upload your logos, set your colour palette, and define your fonts once, then watch as every team member creates on-brand materials automatically and ensures brand consistency. Templates can be locked to prevent brand violations while still allowing creative flexibility.
Collaborative design
workflow
Multiple team members can work on designs simultaneously, with real-time commenting and approval features that streamline the creative process. Say goodbye to endless email threads filled with attached files and proofs on various platforms. Everything can happen within Canva, keeping projects organised and moving forward efficiently.
Content ecosystem
and templates
Access to millions of stock photos, illustrations, and templates means you can avoid starting with a blank canvas. Whether you need social media graphics, business presentations, or marketing flyers, there's sure to be a template already designed to suit your needs and style.
What makes Canva truly different
Canva was created with the belief that good design should be accessible to everyone. This is unlike many design tools that prioritise features and technical capabilities. This means the platform prioritises usability and results over complexity and technical prowess.
The real differentiator is Canva's understanding of how teams actually work. Features like Visual Suite 2.0 let you create multiple formats from a single design. Your Instagram post automatically becomes a LinkedIn banner, email header, and presentation slide. This isn't just convenient; it's essential for maintaining consistent messaging across channels while saving time.
