I just announced Canva Grow 2.0

An end-to-end marketing engine that helps close the gap between creative and performance, powered by Canva's rapidly advancing AI technology. Canva, the world's leading all-in-one visual communication platform, today announced its most significant launch for marketing teams yet with the introduction of Canva Grow 2.0, establishing Canva as a marketing automation platform where creative and performance work seamlessly together. Unveiled today at the Canva Creative Cabana during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Canva Grow 2.0 has been expanded to fully automate the entire performance marketing workflow, from ad creation and publishing to performance optimization, helping businesses build better campaigns at scale. First introduced in October 2025, Canva Grow marked Canva's push into performance marketing. By directly integrating with LinkedIn, TikTok and Meta for publishing and insights, businesses move faster and turn insights from one campaign into stronger results in the next. "For too long, creative and performance have lived in separate systems," said George Howes, Head of Canva Grow at Canva. "With Canva Grow 2.0, businesses can go from generating engaging ads to publishing them across multiple platforms, seeing what's working, and automatically refreshing creative based on what's actually driving results. It's about bringing creation, distribution, and optimization together in one seamless flow, so every campaign is smarter and more effective than the last." This next chapter is powered by Canva's accelerated investments in AI and marketing technology. Canva Grow 2.0 builds on the world-class technology behind Magic Brief, which transforms campaign performance data into actionable creative insights, helping teams move from idea to impact faster. In the last twelve months, Canva has also acquired Ortto, a customer data and marketing automation company; SimTheory, an AI collaboration & agent management platform; Doohly, a digital out-of-home advertising platform; and MangoAI, an AI-powered creative intelligence & optimisation platform. Together, Canva Grow is poised to support the entire lifecycle, from creative development to publishing, measurement, optimization, and growth.
