Overview
Being a Notion Ambassador is exciting, but with members spread across the globe, it can be tricky to stay connected. While automated emails kept people informed about community discussions, they felt a bit robotic and missed the human touch that makes community special. We needed a better way to help Ambassadors discover opportunities, get to know each other, and stay in the loop with what's happening across different regions.
Approach
Here's how we tackled creating a newsletter that would really serve the community:
Getting the format right:
Getting the format right:
- Built a consistent structure mixing community updates, upcoming events, and member spotlights
- Created clear sections to make different types of content easy to find
- Set up a simple way for community members to share their updates
- Started an Ambassador Spotlight to help members get to know each other better through more in-depth interviews
- Picked out the most interesting discussions and opportunities from various channels
- Organized everything so it's quick to scan but still packed with useful info
- Used Notion (of course!) to make the newsletter easy to access and update
- Created templates to keep each issue looking consistent
- Developed a smooth process for gathering monthly content
- Made it easy for community members to contribute
- Started simple with just the basics
- Added fun stuff like community polls and video answers from featured Ambassadors as we went along
- Made things more visual and engaging
- Listened to what the community wanted and adapted each issue

As shared by Alex Witkowski, Global Program Manager, Community at Notion:
- "From the moment we started collaborating, I could immediately tell that you are the rare person who is as excited about execution as you are about ideation. You don't just talk about ideas--you bring them to life, and you bring them to life very quickly."
- "Each issue of the Ambassador newsletter has gotten better even though we started off with a very strong product out of the gate. Every month you have a new idea that makes the concept 10% better, which also helps sustain the energy around the project."
