What's happening?
Useful work can carry awareness of its creation tool, especially through a hosted link. Exporting a file does not always expose Canva, so not every export is a measurable acquisition event.
Why it might work
How the mechanism creates value
The recipient encounters the product through an artifact they already need to consume. This gives the creation tool distribution beyond its current users. The path breaks if branding overwhelms the artifact or the recipient must sign up before receiving value.
