Cliff Obrecht:Canva最初是一家产品驱动型公司,因为好的营销无法弥补糟糕的产品。在早期,Canva主要依靠口碑传播实现快速增长,因此没有在销售和营销上投入过多精力。大约四年前,我们意识到应该加倍努力进行营销,并开始认真对待销售。现在我们参加戛纳国际创意节,这标志着我们在营销方面取得了显著进展。Canva的营销策略演变,从最初依赖产品口碑到后来重视营销和销售,是一个不断发展的过程。我们希望通过营销活动提升品牌知名度,并与广告和营销行业的客户建立更紧密的联系。Canva的参展目标是展示我们的产品如何帮助企业更有效地控制品牌,并大规模创建符合品牌的内容。

He opens up about leading the company alongside his wife and co-founder Melanie Perkins, their decision to give away $100 million to causes in Malawi, and what it means to scale without compromising values. Obrecht also shares Canva’s role in the future of technology and how marketing could define the business’s next chapter.
