We're a global online visual communications platform on a mission to empower the world to design. Featuring a simple drag-and-drop user interface and a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, apparel to videos, plus a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, video footage, and audio clips, anyone can take an idea and create something beautiful on Canva on any device, from anywhere in the world. Since our launch in 2013, we’ve had the crazy big goal of making design accessible to everyone. We were founded on the belief that people shouldn't need to understand complex software to unlock their creativity. We’re leveling the playing field and democratizing access to design and visual communication by empowering 100% of the world to communicate in a way that was once limited to the 1%. We've always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our 'simple' two-step plan: to build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and to do the most good we possibly can. We're committed to our core value of Being a Force for Good, so as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world.

The Acronym Difference. Acronym was founded in 1995 because everyone was searching the Internet and no one could find what they wanted. Our founder, Anton Konikoff, was one of the first to recognize why people were getting lost along the way: companies were unaware of the unwritten rules of search algorithms and weren’t taking advantage of new opportunities to reach customers. How people search continues to change, and it’s our privilege to help lead the change. What hasn’t changed is why people search. They search to discover. Headquartered in the Empire State Building with a global presence across EMEA and APAC, our privately held agency brings together professionals who specialize in building transformative growth. We use data science to fuel paid, owned, shared, and earned strategies with a deep understanding of what motivates people to discover your brand and embrace what you offer. Acronym is discovery by design.

Jen Sharpe founded Think HQ in 2010, on the belief that communications can be harnessed as a force of positive impact. We think human quotient: we unapologetically put people at the heart of everything we do, and we don’t think that should be a radical position. We create campaigns that understand culture and context, and invite audiences to work with us to transform the(ir) world in their best interest. Over the years, we’ve grown from a public relations company into an integrated communications agency, working solely on projects that drive social good. Now, whether it’s advertising, public relations, strategy, content, social media, diverse communications, events, digital presence or capacity building – we can do it all, and we do it ourselves. We are a team of experts from all sorts of backgrounds. Think film makers, journalists, advertising industry legends and multicultural communications specialists. It means that we have the kind of diverse thinking that will lead to the best possible solution. Then, we have all the expertise needed to execute it. What brings us together is a real, genuine belief that communications is powerful, and that it must be used to tell the stories that need to be heard.
