Build complete social media campaigns with Claude’s Canva Connector

The Rundown: Create an entire branded social media campaign using Claude with Canva’s Connector, automatically generating content across multiple platforms.

🧰 Who is this useful for:

  • Social media managers juggling multiple brand accounts
  • Small business owners needing quick, professional content
  • Marketing teams looking to streamline their design process
  • Content creators who want consistent branding without design skills


STEP 1: Connect Your AI Design Workspace

To get started, you'll need to head over to Claude (you’ll need both a paid Claude subscription and a Canva Pro plan). Select the “Search & Tools” icon, hit “Add Connectors” and look for the Canva integration. Click "Connect" and authenticate your Canva account.

Once connected, Claude gains secure access to your Canva workspace, including your Brand Kit, existing designs, and template library.

STEP 2: Create Your Hero Social Media Post

Start with a detailed prompt that describes your campaign vision. Be specific about your brand, message, and visual style:

"Create an Instagram post for our AI content creation tool launching a new video generation feature. Use our brand colors (electric blue and white), include space for a product demo screenshot, and write copy about 'turning ideas into videos instantly.' Make it feel cutting-edge but accessible."

Claude will generate the design, and even write the copy, all in one go. You'll get a complete social media post without leaving the chat.

STEP 3: Create a Matching Banner Design

Now it's time to create a banner version for wider applications. Ask Claude to generate a complementary design:

"Create a 16x9 banner for our video generation feature launch. Keep the same branding style and messaging as the Instagram post."

Claude will create new banner designs that maintain your brand consistency and core messaging while optimizing the layout for the horizontal format. This banner works perfectly for website headers, YouTube thumbnails, or presentation slides.

STEP 4: Build a Presentation Deck

For the final step, let's create presentation materials that match your campaign branding:

"Create a 5-slide pitch deck for our video generation feature. Include: a title slide, problem statement, solution overview, key benefits, and call-to-action. Use the same electric blue and white branding from our social posts."

Claude will generate a cohesive presentation that maintains your visual identity across all materials. You'll get professional slides perfect for investor meetings, client presentations, or internal team updates. The consistent branding ties everything together into one complete marketing package.

Pro tip: Use specific brand language and values in your initial prompts. The more context you give Claude about your brand voice and visual identity, the more consistent and on-brand your generated content will be across the entire campaign.
