We live in a visual economy and need to be able to create, communicate and collaborate visually. It has never been more important for all members of all organizations to create visual content – ​​from designers to non-designers. In fact, Canva’s recent Visual Economics report shared that 92% of business leaders want to and even expect their employees to communicate visually with basic design literacy skills.

So, how do we deal with the challenges faced by large organizations that are designers and non-designers to ensure that visual content is branded, high-quality, and can be created at scale?

We train our team to abandon institutions and create amazing high-impact content with the help of Canva…inside….

Let’s take a look at 3 case studies we’ve worked with the organization’s team using Canva. We will then break down the benefits of moving to Canva Teams or Canva Enterprise with support from Canva proven experts.
