Create 2023
An experience that let people take their #canvalove into the workspace
Canva’s brand purpose is to empower the world to design. And to be a force for good while doing it. Already successful with personal consumer use, Canva wanted to shift beyond this to large-scale organizations. To succeed, they needed to step onto the global stage and create a narrative that would draw enterprise in without alienating their existing audience.
Driven by the insight that Canva lovers work everywhere, we built an experience that let people take their #canvalove into the workspace with A Brand New Era of design for Canva Create 2023. This concept became a philosophy and experiential lynchpin with a narrative from personal to professional, where everyone can design.
Our experiential framework was the ‘visual timeline’ that walked people through different eras of design and ultimately anchored us in a Brand New Era across design, motion, content and every activation element.
We delivered a 90-minute keynote, a magical experience-driven streetscape and virtual global broadcast experience that let people get the latest product announcements and immediately start playing with the new features, live. This connected with our audience in a meaningful way that translated to huge engagement both IRL, online and in media.
