Today’s episode is brought to you by Canva Pro. Many of you know that my background is in graphic design. I currently still handle all of the design here at The Collective Co. everything from our social media graphics to our outreach templates and website design. But I want to let you in on a new tool that I’ve started using. I almost exclusively now use Canva Pro for all of my design needs. It has made it so easy for me to set up our brand elements and create templates so that when I need something quickly made I can jump right in. Canva pro is filled with pre-designed templates, fonts, graphics and even photographs that all seamlessly come together. It is one of the tools I use at The Collective Co. almost daily and I can’t recommend it enough. As a designer I almost feel like I’m cheating but it is that easy to create beautiful branded elements for your business. Click here for a free trial!
