Case Study: The Daily Aus achieves a modern newsroom and stronger audience engagement with Canva

How The Daily Aus uses Canva as a modern newsroom to reach 350,000+ readers

The Daily Aus, an Australian social-first news startup, needed a way to keep Gen Z and Y audiences engaged on mobile while making complex news feel accessible and trustworthy. Without formal design experience, the team turned to Canva for Teams to help them create visually compelling content and manage their fast-moving editorial workflow.

Canva became The Daily Aus’s end-to-end newsroom hub, letting the team write, design, collaborate, and schedule content in one platform using branded templates and real-time editing from anywhere. With Canva, The Daily Aus now publishes 5 to 10 Instagram updates a day, reaches more than 350,000 readers across platforms, and has built a recognizable visual identity that supports both audience growth and revenue efforts.
