What if you could go from brand assets to a full ad set in under 5 minutes?

I tested Canva Grow 2.0 from a client's perspective, using the brand identity and website we built for Dulce Oro, a premium agave spirits brand, as the foundation. The idea was simple: could a client take their existing brand assets and spin up social ad creative without starting from scratch every time?

The output was honestly impressive. On-brand visuals, solid layouts, a full ad set in minutes. For a freelancer, this is the kind of tool that could genuinely expand what you offer clients without adding hours to your workflow.

But here's where I think it still needs work:

The website link sharing didn't pull any context for the AI. PDFs can't be uploaded, so I had to work with images instead. Also, it would have been just the perfect system within canva if they could upload custom fonts, so that brand-specific typography won't get lost in translation.

For clients with strong brand identities, these gaps can be filled to make Canva Grow the ultimate choice. Because the creative is only as good as the brand inputs it's working with.

The walkthrough is in the video above, including where it surprised me and where I had to work around it.

Are you building ad creative for clients inside a single tool yet, or are you still juggling five different platforms to get there?

GREAT pointers Chhavi! If Canva gets the upload fonts feature, it would be a game changer.

From Geneva to Belgrade. My AI work through the CapCut workflow is traveling across international AI cinema spaces this week. Today, July 9, my AI short film AVIÃO was officially screened, followed by my director video message, as one of the Top 10 finalists at the AI for Good Film Festival in Geneva. Yesterday, July 8, my AI music video Break Free was also officially screened on Day 3 of AI FilmFest Serbia, as part of the festival program hosted by the Faculty of Contemporary Arts (Fakultet savremenih umetnosti). Grateful to see my AI work, supported by my creative journey with CapCut CPP , traveling this week from human-centered AI storytelling to AI-driven music video production. AVIÃO was created with AI through CapCut Video Studio. Break Free was created with AI through CapCut Desktop. It is worth noting that AVIÃO was selected as a Top 4 Winner at the CapCut Video Studio Challenge on Contra, a Grand Finalist at Fairground’s Best of AI, and a Finalist at the AI for Good Film Festival 2026, organized by the ITU, a United Nations specialized agency.
