About

Hey, thanks for visiting my personal site. My name’s Andrianes, but you can call me Andre.

I currently head up growth marketing at Canva – and that just means I do everything related to growing the company. And by everything, I mean SEO, content strategy, social, email marketing, retention & product, launches and mobile. SEM will be a big focus… very soon.

Before joining Canva, I

  1. Led growth at Pocketbook, where I tripled user base and significantly improved retention in about 11 months. Unfortunately I can’t disclose any specific data.
  2. And content & SEO at Open Colleges, where I grew monthly revenue from organic search from $0 to $1 million.

At Canva, I grew our blog’s traffic by 226%, to 880k visits, in 60 days.

You can find out how I did this in these guest posts:
