Mark Your Notion Calendar: Here's Your March Update

Happy Monday!

It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve shared an update, but I promise there has been a lot of things happening behind-the-scenes. A snippet of the work is included in this newsletter—which you definitely won’t want to scroll past.

I’m really excited about what we have planned for creators this year. All I can say for now is, we are doubling down on our commitment to creators—and you may want to watch out for exciting news dropping later this week that proves how much.

A crucial part of our plans include more events and opportunities to meet you all. Included below are details on two events (one virtual, one in-person!) that we are hosting later this week. One of my goals for this year is to bring even more resources and programming to creators that actually improves how you run your work and life. If you have any specific requests, please respond to this email!

On a personal note, another one of my goals for the year is perfecting my sourdough recipe. I missed the pandemic wave of this hobby, but my TikTok feed has officially influenced me to become a bread baker.

Until next time!

—Danielle (We miss you, Lexie!)

Campaign Spotlight: Japan & Korea Back to School 🎒

We are in the middle of running a Back to School campaign with students in Japan and Korea, featuring how they’re using Notion to get back into the swing of classes. Depending on where you live, you may not think of March and April being back to school season. This is a great example of how your creator strategy is not one-size-fits-all if you’re running a global program. If you’re a creator, your content may resonate with your international audiences during periods of time you don’t expect!

I love this video of how 우아 ooa shows how she used Notion in med school, including her workflows for managing all of her exams, notes and assignments.
