Creator Roam vs manual media kits (Canva & PDF)
Most travel creators still copy stats into Canva, export a PDF, and hope the numbers are still true when a brand opens it. Creator Roam replaces that Sunday routine with one link that stays current.
Quick answer
Use Canva when you need a custom one-off design asset. Use Creator Roam when brands ask for verified stats and you are tired of rebuilding the same deck.
Side-by-side comparison
| Feature | Manual media kit (Canva / PDF) | Creator Roam |
|---|---|---|
| Stat accuracy | Copy-paste errors happen | Pulled from official platform connections |

When Manual media kit (Canva / PDF) is enough
A brand wants a highly custom designed deck for one campaign and stats freshness is not the priority.
When Creator Roam makes sense
Partners ask for updated followers and reach often, you pitch multiple brands a month, or you want stats pulled from official connections — not copied by hand.
