Visual content drives clicks — but founders shouldn't be in Canva every afternoon. Here's how to delegate image and social creative without losing brand quality.

## What to delegate vs keep

**Delegate**
- Resizing assets for LinkedIn, Instagram, and email
- Template-based carousels and quote graphics
- Simple blog header images and newsletter banners
- Asset library organization in Drive or Notion

**Keep (at least initially)**
- Core brand guidelines and campaign concept
- Final approval on public-facing creative
- Photography direction for high-stakes launches

## Workflow that works

1. **Create 2–3 Canva templates** with fonts, colors, and logo placement.
2. **Document examples** of posts you love (yours or competitors').
3. **Assign a weekly batch** — e.g. 10 social graphics every Monday.
4. **Review in one block** — 15 minutes beats scattered approvals all week.

## Who should do this on your team?

A **social media VA** with Canva experience is usually enough. On Orca, filter profiles by social media skills and check portfolios for consistent template work.

Typical rates: **$12–$25/hr** depending on volume and design complexity.

## Measuring ROI

If visual content saves you 3 hours/week and your effective hourly rate is $150+, even a $20/hr VA returns **22×** on time alone — before counting better posting consistency.
