How each works

Canva and Trellan: what each one does.

Trellan

Built for your sales funnel

Trellan is a content studio built around how your customers buy. You give it your business once, and it plans, writes and designs your content for your personal profile and your business page, every piece with a job in your sales funnel.

Learns your business from everything you already have: your website, your social profiles, your stories in Memory Lane, your books and documents, and your photo library.
Plans one story across your personal profile and your business page, with a call to action matched to where each buyer is, from first look to the sale.
Makes every format: Reels for every platform, YouTube Shorts, brand films, LinkedIn document carousels, Instagram carousels, images and Stories.
Writes in your voice, tuned for each platform, and lets you swipe through the top voices you trust to set the style you want.
Comes with a mobile app: tell it about your day by voice with a few photos, and get tomorrow's post.

You review every post and change anything by typing or by voice. Nothing goes out until you approve it.

Canva

Canva is a design platform for making almost anything visual. It:

Gives you templates and a drag-and-drop editor for posts, Reels, Stories, videos and much more.
Has AI tools that write post text, generate images and help edit photos and video.
Keeps your logos, fonts and colours in a brand kit you apply to designs.
Schedules posts through its content planner, on paid plans, to channels including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn.
