Canva CMO: Weekly Check-In Aligns Product and Marketing
Canva’s chief marketing officer Zach Kitschke describes a weekly check-in that brings marketing into roadmap discussions with product and engineering as the company scales AI features. Per analysis from VC firm a16z, Canva recently became the world’s third most-used generative AI consumer product by monthly visits. In June, Canva launched Canva AI 2.0, which combines visual creation, workflow automation and AI agents. The Adweek profile by Rebecca Stewart highlights how marketing and product collaboration aims to keep product direction and go-to-market plans in sync amid rapid AI-driven change.
Canva Rises to Top‑3 with Canva AI 2.0
Canva has been ranked among the top three global consumer AI products—directly behind ChatGPT and Gemini—according to Andreessen Horowitz’s Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps ranking. The company reports over 260 million monthly active users and has introduced Canva AI 2.0, described as its largest update since 2013. Canva AI 2.0 moves the platform toward a conversational, agent‑style design workflow and adds a new architecture, multi‑layer object intelligence, a promised "dynamic memory," and six named workflows: Connectors, Scheduling, Web Research, Brand Intelligence, Canva Sheets AI and Canva Code 2.0. The release includes integrations (Slack, Gmail, Google Drive/Calendar, Notion, Zoom, HubSpot, Microsoft, Atlassian, Linear) and a collaboration with Claude Design (Anthropic) to import and refine AI-generated designs in Canva.
Canva AI Assistant Expands Tool Use for Automated Design
Canva updated its AI assistant (Canva AI 2.0) to let the assistant call multiple internal tools to build editable, layered designs from text prompts, offer image and website generation, and produce multi-option outputs users can tweak. The release adds integrations with Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar and Zoom, a web research skill, and a scheduling feature that can create draft tasks for review. Canva also refined other AI tooling—its AI code generator can import HTML and text-prompted spreadsheet generation—and reported model efficiency gains (Lucid Origin and 12V models). The company says its enterprise business is growing ~100% year-on-year, was most recently valued at $42 billion per PitchBook, and launched the research preview the week of publication.
