Rebrand the Growth Game: Make Notion AI the Go-To Tool for Startup Teams

50 XP Deadline: May 30 Marketing & Growth

Challenge Overview

Notion AI is already popular with productivity lovers — but startup teams still see it as "just another note-taking app."

Your challenge? Flip the narrative.


Design a marketing campaign that positions Notion AI as a must-have growth tool for early-stage startup teams — one that helps them move faster, stay organized, and scale smarter.

You’ll need to tap into real user pain points, understand audience psychology, and build a cross-channel strategy that creates awareness, educates the audience, and nudges them to adopt Notion AI.


🎯 Your Challenge

Craft a multi-channel growth marketing campaign that makes startup teams say:

“We need Notion AI in our stack.”


You can use tools and tactics like:

  • Content Marketing
  • SEO
  • LinkedIn thought-leadership
  • UGC campaigns
  • Paid ads
  • Micro-influencer hooks
  • YouTube Shorts or Reels
  • (Use any mix, as long as it's strategic and realistic)



👥 Who You’re Targeting

  • Early-stage startups (0–2 years old)
  • Team size: 3–20 people
  • Decision-makers: Founders, Product Managers, Early Marketing Hires
  • Pain points: scattered tools, time wasted, disorganized processes


🧾 What You Need To Do📌


1. Identify the Perception Gap

Why do these teams underestimate Notion AI?

What mental shift does your campaign need to drive?


🧠 2. Campaign Theme + Tagline

Craft a memorable campaign theme with a slogan that captures the shift.

 Examples (don’t copy):

  • “Your Startup’s Second Brain”
  • “Docs That Think With You”

🎯 3. 3-Step Funnel Plan

Break down your campaign into three stages:

  • Awareness (e.g. reels, thought-leader posts, memes)
  • Consideration (e.g. carousels, storytelling, webinars)
  • Conversion (e.g. lead magnets, email flows, landing pages)

📅 4. 7-Day Content Calendar

Create a 7-day LinkedIn or Instagram plan that includes:

  • Post format (reel, carousel, text, doc)
  • Hook/headline
  • CTA
  • Objective (engagement, education, lead-gen)

🎨 5. Bonus (Optional) — Paid Ad Concepts

Suggest 2 paid ads:

  • Headline + body text
  • Visual concept or hook
  • Target audience
