The world runs on millions of small businesses that never make the news. The bakery juggling wholesale orders on sticky notes. The family engineering firm that builds stadium roofs. The florist whose wedding season lives in her head. Their stories are specific, funny, stressful, and real, and almost nobody is telling them.
Notion's Field Storytellers changes that. We pair creators with small businesses around the world, document one real problem in the founder's own words, and show the solution that fixed it.
Field Storytellers are independent creators who work with Notion to find, film, and publish short documentary-style videos about small and mid-sized businesses. You bring the format, the taste, and the interviewing skill. We bring the subjects, the product depth, the workflow reviews, and the distribution muscle.

This is not an ad program. The person and the business hold the spotlight. Notion plays the supporting character. This is a paid opportunity.

A taste of what's out there, waiting for someone to capture:
The goat farm that runs breeding schedules, herd health, and an online store from one workspace
The lawyer who left Wall Street to build a practice that serves families in their own language, and the intake system that keeps the firm moving
The coffee shop in the middle of a store renovation, tracking contractors, permits, and payroll while still pulling shots every morning
The 10-person family engineering firm whose projects include stadium roofs, coordinating field crews without a single project manager
The wedding florist whose busiest season used to live in a notebook, now run by an agent that drafts every proposal
The foster-care nonprofit matching urgent family needs to local volunteers in hours instead of weeks
The small-town brewery where the head brewer is also the bookkeeper, the marketer, and the events team
The photo-book company started by two parents at a kitchen table, now shipping memories to a million families
Every one of these is a before-and-after story with a problem, climax, and ending.
Field Storytellers publish within a recurring format so audiences know exactly what an account is about. Example formats:
