Canva Pro allows business owners to manage their brands.  By that, I mean Canva offers a tool that allows you to add your branding kit directly to the platform.  This makes it super simple to create tons of graphics using branding colors and fonts with one simple click.  It also allows you to upload your logo!  How awesome is that!
