Case Study: American Cancer Society reduces design turnaround from two days to five minutes with Canva

American Cancer Society cuts design turnaround from two days to five minutes with Canva

The American Cancer Society (ACS), a large nonprofit dedicated to ending cancer, faced significant challenges with brand consistency. With thousands of staff and volunteers across hundreds of locations, off-brand and inconsistent fundraising materials were being distributed, which risked donor confusion and diluted trust. Their internal design team was overloaded and could not meet the high demand for quick, professional graphics, especially after staff reductions. ACS turned to Canva Enterprise to solve this problem.

By implementing Canva Enterprise, ACS centralized its design process with branded templates and a controlled asset library. This empowered non-design staff to create on-brand materials quickly, slashing the design turnaround time from two days to just five minutes for many requests. The solution ensured brand consistency across all communications, improved collaboration, and freed the expert design team to focus on more complex tasks. Canva provided the tools necessary for ACS to maintain a unified and professional voice in its critical mission.
