First Impressions Are Everything: How Are You Presenting Your Brand to the World?

I’ve always valued great visuals. Whether it’s a website, a social media post, or a company presentation, how you present your brand to the world matters.

People make snap judgments, and often, your design is the first thing they see. It doesn’t need to be flashy or overly creative—but it does need to be clean, professional, and, most importantly, presentable.

In the early days, I understood the importance of good design, but the process of actually creating something presentable was frustrating. I started with Adobe Illustrator. I managed to put together basic designs, but that’s all they were—basic.

The learning curve was steep, and I quickly realized that spending time mastering a complex design tool wasn’t the best use of my time. I’m not a designer, and I didn’t want to be one—I just wanted something that looked good without the struggle.

Then there was the issue of fonts, stock photos, and assets. Everything was everywhere. Finding the right font meant digging through websites, and sourcing quality images was another challenge altogether. It felt like every small design task was more complicated than it needed to be.

I only started using Canva last year when I founded Twenty-Four Consulting, even though it has been around since 2013.

At first, it felt almost too simple—drag, drop, done. But that’s the beauty of it. Canva took the complexity out of design and gave people like me the ability to create clean, professional, and polished visuals in minutes.

Suddenly, I wasn’t wasting hours trying to align text boxes or struggling with complex layers. I could focus on what mattered—running my business.

From day one, it was clear how easy it was to use. My job involves creating slides—lots of them. And when it comes to adding images to my slides, finding one with a transparent background is a struggle.

Enter Canva’s Background Remover—one of my absolute favorite features. With just one click, the background disappears, and I have a clean, professional-looking image ready to go.

No more searching endlessly or dealing with clunky third-party tools. It’s small features like this that make a huge difference in daily workflow.

Every startup or small business should seriously look at Canva—especially the Team or Enterprise version. One of the worst things a company can do is have inconsistent branding, where different people create different collaterals with no cohesion.

This is why businesses worldwide are turning to Canva Enterprise for streamlined brand management. As the first Canva Agency Partner in Malaysia, Twenty-Four Consulting is at the forefront of helping teams simplify design workflows, maintain brand consistency, and scale content production effortlessly.

Canva eliminates that issue by keeping everything—from logos and brand colors to templates—centralized and accessible for everyone. It’s no longer just a tool for quick designs; it’s a complete brand management platform.

With Canva Enterprise, teams can keep everything—from logos and brand colors to templates—all in one place, ensuring consistency across every visual. No more hunting for the right font, no more guessing brand colors—everything is streamlined and accessible.

I share this because I know many businesses still struggle with presenting themselves professionally. Your brand’s first impression isn’t just about what you say—it’s about how you show up.

If your visuals look unpolished, it reflects on your brand. But looking professional doesn’t mean hiring an expensive designer or spending hours on complicated software.

It’s about using the right tools to put your best foot forward.

So, ask yourself—how is your brand presenting itself to the world? If you’re ready to take it up a notch, Canva is the easiest way to do it.
