Originally intended as a simple note-taking app, it has since evolved into a highly customizable platform with limitless options for managing workflows, databases, and wikis. Notion has become an innovative and popular choice for companies ranging from startups to large corporations such as McDonald's and IBM, thanks to a strong user community, a commitment to accessibility, and a remote-first culture. The infinity symbol in Notion's logo, a combination of the letters "N" and "O," represents the tool's versatility and limitless potential

Let's explore how Notion can be an excellent management tool for creative agencies, particularly those that work remotely
