Introduction

Inbound marketing isn’t just about attracting customers – it’s about building lasting engagement through value. To sharpen my inbound consulting services, I analysed two successful brands: Canva and Shopify. Here’s what they are doing right and what we can learn from them.

Canva’s approach

Canva excels by combining SEO-optimised templates with a freemium model and educational resources. Templates bring organic traffic, while Design school turns visitors into skilled, loyal users. Opportunities lies in streamlining beginner experiences, creating advanced content, and using interactive tools for personalized journeys.

Spotify’s approach

Spotify’s “Wrapped” campaign is a masterclass in personalized, shareable content. Users love sharing their listening summaries, creating huge organic reach. However, its inbound strategy could be stronger year-round through mini-summaries, podcast personalization, and interactive playlists.

Who Wins?

While Spotify creates viral buzz, Canva sustains engagement everyday with useful tools and educational value. For consistent inbound impact, Canva leads the way.

Takeaways for your Business

• Offer free tools or resources that deliver real value.
• Map content to different buyer stages – Beginner, intermediate, expert.
• Personalize experiences to build connection and shareability.
• Ensure engagement is consistent, not just tied to one campaign.
