  • MagicBrief’s creative intelligence tools will come to Canva.
  • Expect more AI-powered design and marketing features.

Canva announced that it plans to buy MagicBrief, an Australian creative intelligence ad platform trusted by marketers, ad agencies, and brands throughout the world.

MagicBrief’s Co-founder and CEO, George Howes, will join Canva in a leadership position, and the primarily Sydney-based team will also join the fold full time. Canva hasn’t announced an official acquisition date or timeline. In the meantime Canva says that both companies will run independently, with MagicBrief building out its customer base.
