NotionOverview:
In collaboration with Notion, we launched their inaugural international brand campaign, titled "For Your Life's Work," showcasing how Notion seamlessly integrates into both professional and personal realms.

Historically, Notion's user base has predominantly been in the realm of personal usage. However, our objective was to expand its reach to encompass professional audiences, tech startups, and larger corporations, illustrating how Notion enhances productivity and fosters work-life balance.

To connect with this new audience, we recognized the need for a fresh approach. Traditional tech companies often convey a uniform image, both visually and conceptually. Notion, however, stands apart with its tactile interface, responsiveness to user needs, and grounded ethos. To make a splash in this competitive landscape, we devised a marketing campaign designed to break through the clutter and resonate with our target audience.

When we close our eyes, we can all imagine what a tech company looks, feels, and sounds like. There’s a homogenous feel to the ways they show up in the world. As a product, Notion is different from the norm. More tactile, more responsive to a user’s needs, and more down-to-earth. To break through, we needed to create a marketing campaign that could stand out in a crowded category.

To stay true to the spirit of the product, we focused our storytelling on the human value of Notion rather than the product benefits. We hoped to not just show the value, but ultimately, to make people feel it—and want to experience it for themselves.













To meet our audience where they live (and work), we produced out-of-home experiences and campaign touchpoints in three major markets throughout the US, UK, and Japan. Takeovers spanned across print, digital billboards, kiosks, metro, connected TV, and all over social media.

These weren't just American stories translated and recreated across multiple regions, but messaging tailored to the unique needs and experiences of each market.
