If you work in marketing or design, chances are you love Canva. It’s fast, friendly, and ridiculously easy to use.
Whether you’re knocking up a quick social post, an event banner, or a presentation for your next campaign, Canva is super simple for anyone to create something that looks great, even if they aren’t a designer.
But as brilliant as Canva is, it can be all too easy to veer off-brand.
When multiple teams, agencies, and partners are creating at speed, the line between “approved brand content” and “where did that logo come from?” can quickly blur.
Here’s where our new integration between Asset Bank and Canva changes everything! In this article we’ll look at:
Now, you can link your Asset Bank library directly to Canva through the CI HUB connector – so your approved brand assets are available right inside the Canva interface.
Need the latest version of your logo? It’s there.
That new campaign image? Ready to drop in.
Updated product shots or marketing templates? All waiting for you – no more downloading, re-uploading, or guessing which version is right.
You can search, browse by folders or collections, and drag and drop images, logos, graphics – you name it! – straight into your designs – all while maintaining the permissions, version control, and metadata from your Asset Bank.
Got an image that has compulsory text that *must* go alongside it? No need to copy/paste – just drag the description across too.
It’s a beautiful marriage of creative flow and brand consistency 🤌
This plug-in isn’t just a “nice to have” – it’s a genuine time-saver. Here’s what it unlocks:
