Global Goals Platform

PR Campaign

Thursday 16th July, 2026

Canva launched the Global Goals Platform to crowdsource what communities most want achieved in their lifetimes, kicking off pilots in Wollongong and the US with the Ad Council and publishing overlapping responses to spark public conversation about civic priorities.

Why it worked: It flipped a familiar tech feedback loop onto democracy, backed by a named city pilot and publishable overlap data journalists could cite.

The lesson: Consider repurposing your product’s core mechanic for a civic or cultural pain point, with a fast pilot and public, visualized results.

Where does the data come from?

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's the number of articles. Simple as that. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach - just raw volume. The campaigns at the top are the ones generating the most stories right now.
