Everything your team needs in one place

For over a decade⁠(opens in a new tab or window), Canva has set out to democratize design, and we’re entering our second decade as a leading all-in-one visual communication platform that empowers the entire workplace – including those without specialist design skills.

Over the years, we’ve regularly introduced a range of game-changing tools and services that empower marketers⁠(opens in a new tab or window) to do their best work. Some of the most-loved additions include streamlined Brand Management Tools⁠(opens in a new tab or window) to leading apps and integrations⁠(opens in a new tab or window), thousands of free social media templates⁠(opens in a new tab or window), as well as game-changing AI⁠(opens in a new tab or window) and video tools⁠(opens in a new tab or window).

But, as the demand on marketing teams grew, it became clear we needed to develop a hub that houses a range of helpful tools and templates to reimagine the marketing workflow. Enter the Marketing Work Kit⁠(opens in a new tab or window).

Curated specifically for marketers

We always strive to solve the pain points of our community⁠(opens in a new tab or window) when designing our products, and we take inspiration from our Marketing team at Canva, too.

We want to ensure that Canva empowers marketers to work smarter, not harder – and we’re excited about the role Work Kits can play in alleviating the heavy lifting of many thinly stretched marketing teams.
