0:00For Little Plains, Notion is the information nerve center of our agency.
0:06Little Plains is a digital creative agency that helps early stage founders and businesses
0:11build their identity and a lot of the first properties that they'll go to market with.
0:17Running an agency is a lot more surface area than working at a company where you have somewhat of
0:22a aligned North Star mission that everyone in the business is working on. We work with the
0:27North Stars of a lot of different businesses.
0:31Notion is like a central source of truth
0:33for our back office, our finance, our recruiting,
0:35as well as the basis for a lot of the information
0:38for the creative work we do.
0:41When we first started our hiring process,
0:44it was really hard to manage.
0:46We built out an entire intake process,
0:48start to finish, completely managed by Notion.
0:51It's been transformative to our team.
0:53As soon as the applicant submits their application, we get a notification in our internal talent
1:00intake channel.
1:01If we want to take a call, we can react with our custom emoji.
1:04So once I react, you see the Notion agent start to queue up a message that sends back
1:10to the talent that applied.
1:12Before this, it took a lot of coordination just to get one talent call scheduled.
1:17And at the volume of talent that we receive and the rate that we're growing, that just
1:22wasn't sustainable.
1:23So just that single emoji made our talent and hiring process so much quicker and more efficient.
1:29As Little Plains has grown, so has the expectations of potential clients that work with us.
1:35They expect a buttoned-up proposal with all details, very clear, easy to read and understand.
1:41And they want a five-star hospitality experience from the day they reach out to the day that they finish their project.
1:46And so we've moved our entire new business process and source of truth over to Notion.
1:51Notion acts as an intelligent CMS that drives the entire back end of our new business proposals.
1:58From that back end, we're able to deliver this beautiful interactive front end that wows clients time and time again.
2:07When people came out that you could build agents, it was really exciting, but it's actually really hard to manage.
2:12And I think what's great about the Agent Management Hub is that it gives visibility into the entire team of what agents we're building and how we're approaching the build.
2:20We often have team members building kind of the same agent.
2:24And so here it gives us this collaborative hub.
2:26Anyone on the team can contribute towards any agent build brief and build additional context,
2:32instructions that help us improve these agents over time.
2:37One thing I think for other agencies to take away from how we're using Notion is a rising
2:42tide raises all boats.
2:43It increases the ability of non-technical and technical team members to both access a
2:49very high standard of contextual intelligence for multiple parts of the business. I think the leading
2:55agencies today embracing AI aren't the ones with the most tools, they're the ones with the most
3:00contextual information. That's why we use Notion.
