Notion: The Virtual Workspace For Your Marketing Efforts
One of the key services we offer our clients is marketing-as-a-service, where they offload some or all of their marketing efforts to our team. At times, this can be a finite project for automating a process, maintaining their site, developing content, executing a campaign, building a report, or any number of other efforts.
We’ve worked quite a bit in different project management systems but often find them limited in their capabilities for asset storage, internal processes, calendar views, or task repetition. So, we also have Google Workspace for our email, calendaring, and document storage… but that lacks any kind of integration, client management, process management, or comprehensive project management.
I think we’re in the same boat as many organizations… and adding more tools just adds more complexity. What we really need is an online workspace where our team can fully track, work, collaborate, store, and manage our clients more effectively.
Notion: One Workspace, Every Team
Notion is a single home that can accommodate operating an entire business, not just your marketing efforts.
Notion combines all the interfaces you need to fully organize your efforts – including workflows, wiki’s, document repository, meeting notes, task management, an editorial calendar, sales digests, etc. Best of all, Notion doesn’t start with a blank page… it includes hundreds of templates to get a jump start with.
