“Our goal with the 'Love Your Work' campaign is to inspire people to find joy and fulfillment in their daily work,” said Cat van der Werff, Executive Creative Director at Canva. “We spend so much of our lives working, but many of us aren’t enjoying it as much as we could. We believe Canva can help bring a little joy to work through creativity. Making design work easier, faster, and more fun is what we’re all about. This campaign is our invitation to teams everywhere to reimagine how creativity can help them fall in love with their work.”

Brand New Wrapper?

The “Love Your Work” campaign comes after the long-standing, consumer-rooted “What Will You Design Today?” brand campaign, which ran in five different flights during the course of three years. While Canva’s message in the first decade was about revolutionizing design for millions of individuals, the "Love Your Work" campaign highlights Canva’s mission to define the next 10 years: to infuse the delight of easy-to-use design tools into work so people can shine.

Community-First?

Canva turned to its community of devoted users to develop and produce “Love Your Work.” Real Canva fans are featured in the campaign sharing their authentic experiences in the campaign spots. Through unscripted voiceovers, each user highlights how Canva empowers them to deliver work they’re always proud of.

Workplace Products Front and Center ?

In September 2022, Canva introduced its enterprise-focused Visual Suite, a comprehensive portfolio of workplace collaboration tools including Canva Docs, Presentations, Whiteboards, Websites, and more. In October 2023, Canva expanded its enterprise reach with Magic Studio, integrating AI features to supercharge these workplace tools. Canva has seen remarkable enterprise adoption since these launches, with 95% of Fortune 500 companies now using the platform.

Canva’s workplace products take center stage in “Love Your Work” with relatable and refreshing examples of Canva empowering people at work.

• Individual product spotlights: Canva Docs, Presentations, Video and Whiteboards are each featured in standalone creative spots showcasing their value in everyday workplace tasks like creating sales presentations, making text-heavy documents more visual, and organizing ideas more intuitively.
• Two hero TVCs: The :30 TV spots compile a reel of six characters using Canva at work to achieve specific goals. The ads follow each of their journeys, bringing in co-workers for inspiring moments of collaboration, and closing in excited scenes celebrating their achievements.

The campaign showcases Canva’s workplace offerings within credible, high-quality media environments relevant to the workplace. The channel strategy includes:

• Streaming TV: :30 brand ads targeted to professionals across their favorite streaming platforms

Homegrown?

The campaign was conceptualized by Canva’s in-house creative team of 29 designers, producers, program managers, art directors, copywriters, and motion designers. All motion, 15" ads and 360 channel creative were developed in-house.

“Our internal team had a clear creative vision for this campaign and a unique Canva manifesto,” said van der Werff. “Relying heavily on our in-house creative team for campaign development was a strategic choice. Our unique culture and values are deeply ingrained, and this campaign genuinely reflects the heart and soul of our brand.”

• OMD (Media Strategy and Buying)
