Quick Tip

Follow along step-by-step with the digital marketing canvas how-to guide.

What is a canvas in digital marketing?

The Digital Marketing Canvas is a framework for developing your company’s digital marketing strategy – including what actions, campaigns and tactics you’ll be using to reach your target buyers. Marketers, entrepreneurs, developers, designers, sales and customer success managers work together on the DMC to uncover marketing strategies that align with the digital customer lifecycle and accelerate business growth.

You should create the canvas with members from your marketing, sales, development, product, design and customer success teams to get a well-rounded view of your product or service’s unique value and how you can best communicate that to your target buyer throughout the customer lifecycle.

How do you write a digital marketing brief?

The first and most important step in building your company’s digital marketing strategy is to understand your brand values, mission and vision. This will help you determine what your brand stands for and how that’s different from the competition so you can pinpoint the most useful digital marketing tactics.

Here are the steps you’ll take to write your digital strategy:

  • Define your mission, vision and brand story.
  • Brainstorm digital marketing channels.
  • Identify your target audience.
  • Uncover your product/service’s unique value.
  • Detail your activation & referral initiatives.
  • Calculate your digital marketing strategy ROI.
  • Describe the market landscape.
  • Outline retention strategies & success tracking.

Frequently asked questions

What is Xtensio?

Xtensio is the quickest and easiest way for teams to create, share and manage all of their business documents together. Create pitches, sales sheets, reports, case studies, agendas and more. Add images, videos, tables, buttons and other interactive modules. Drag and drop, resize, change backgrounds, colors. Share a link. Present a digital slideshow. Export a PDF/PNG.

What’s a folio?

A folio is a live webpage, a full-screen digital slideshow presentation and an exportable PDF/PNG document all-in-one. Folios are responsive, collaborative and completely customizable.
Start with an instructional template, editable example or a blank project to build all your business documents and presentations with the ease of a web builder. Add team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. Changes instantly sync to the live version of the folio so both internal and external stakeholders are always up-to-date. Folios are the next generation of flexible documents and presentations.

How is Xtensio different from PPT, Illustrator or Word?

Unlike other presentation or document creators, Xtensio works like a web builder so you can easily drag and drop interactive content, customize the layout, and change colors, fonts, backgrounds to get professional-looking business content out the door quickly, without needing a designer.
You can collaborate with team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. And the flexibility to share folios as live web links, digital slideshow presentations or exportable PDF/PNGs means you don’t have to jump between tools when creating different deliverables. Check out this page to see how Xtensio outpaces the competition.

Is my data private and secure?

Yes. All Xtensio plans include 128 bit SSL encryption and backups to ensure your data is secure. Here’s more on the range of sharing options on Xtensio, from completely private to public.

Can I create a free digital marketing canvas?

Yes. You can try out Xtensio’s simple editor and any template, including the digital marketing canvas without creating an account. To save your work, collaborate with your team and access other premium features and resources, you can upgrade to premium. Plans start at $8 per month.

What would I get by upgrading to a premium plan?

By upgrading to our premium plans, you’ll have a private, branded workspace with your own URL where you, your team members and guests can create and collaborate on multiple presentations and documents.
You’ll be able to lock branding across your deliverables with the team style guide, streamline the creation process with custom templates, unlock exports, add password protection and customize individual shared links, and view folio stats to stay updated on all of your projects. Here’s more about our premium plans.

What would I use the digital marketing canvas for?

The goal of this exercise is to define a digital marketing strategy to maximize your product’s revenue and increase overall growth. This is a process that your team should continually evaluate and optimize.

What information should be included in the marketing canvas?

You should include any and all information that goes into defining your marketing strategy. Specific sections of the template will help you detail your value proposition, mission, vision, brand, target audience, market, acquisition, activation, referral, revenue and retention.

What is a living document?

The living digital marketing canvas allows you to instantly sync your entire team throughout the process. The document evolves as your marketing strategy comes together. You can add collaborators to work in real-time. And you can share the customizable link to keep internal and external colleagues up-to-date as the project progresses.

Can I add colleagues to edit the digital marketing canvas?

Yes! You can invite as many people as you’d like to collaborate on your proposals. As a platform, Xtensio helps improve the way your team works.

How do I share my digital marketing strategy?

Choose your file format. Present it as a full-screen digital slideshow, share it as a responsive web link or export it as a PDF (customize the PDF size) or PNG.

Do you have other tools for marketing?

We do! There are several different templates, examples and resources to guide you through defining and implementing your business. Check out our Business Development toolbox and our Marketing toolbox to find more tools and resources.
