3 Hour Canva for Marketing Workshop

Most small businesses know they need consistent, professional-looking marketing, but they don't have the time, design skills or budget to hire a full creative team. Canva changes that, and this workshop shows you exactly how to use it properly.

This is a hands-on, three-hour training, designed to help you create branded, high-quality marketing assets quickly and confidently. By the end, you will walk away with templates, visuals and a repeatable design workflow tailored to your business.

Who This Workshop Is For?

This workshop is ideal for small and medium businesses, freelancers and anyone who manages their own marketing. You do not need design experience. This session is perfect if you want a clear, practical way to create consistent brand visuals without spending hours on trial and error or relying on expensive outsourcing.

What You Will Learn:

During this session, you will be guided step by step through the essential foundations of Canva, brand consistency and design best practice. You will learn how to:

• Navigate Canva efficiently and understand the tools that matter
• Build a simple brand kit with colours, fonts and logos
• Create professional templates for social media and marketing materials
• Repurpose one design into multiple formats to save time
• Use Canva’s AI features to speed up your content creation
• Design impactful graphics such as social posts, carousels, flyers and banners
• Set up an organised folder system so your designs are always easy to find
• Export files correctly for digital use or professional print
• Create a simple workflow you can use again and again

What You Will Create:

Throughout the workshop you will create real assets you can use immediately in your marketing. This may include:

• Branded social post templates
• A carousel design
• A branded cover image for reels, YouTube or Facebook
• A one page flyer, brochure or proposal cover
• A brand board or visual identity reference sheet
• A folder structure that keeps everything organised

You will leave with a set of ready to use, on brand designs you can adapt for future campaigns. So it's a good idea to have some thoughts as what you might want to create the above for.

How the Workshop Runs:

This is not a passive training. You will follow along in real time, with guidance and practical exercises throughout. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive support on your designs. Every section includes a live demonstration and hands-on creation time so you can apply what you learn immediately.

Why This Workshop Works:

Many business owners use Canva, but few know how to use it strategically. This workshop focuses on practical application, brand consistency and marketing best practice. You will learn a streamlined approach to content design, helping you save time, improve quality and maintain a professional presence across all channels.

By the end of the workshop you will have:

• A set of customised templates
