Introducing the Post-it Brand x Miro partnership and integration

Everyone has their own tried-and-true methods to jumpstart creativity. For many, the process involves physically writing down ideas on Post-it® Notes and then huddling around the whiteboard to flesh them out with colleagues. But as remote and distributed work environments become the norm, teams need a new way to ideate and collaborate online while still allowing for independent exploration with pen and paper.

Miro for Post-it App Integration

Watch Kristin transform her ideas from physical Post-its notes to Miro’s digital sticky notes — keeping the good ideas going (and the dance moves coming) with her remote team. With the all-new Post-it® App x Miro integration, you can digitize ideas you’ve jotted down on physical Post-it® Notes with the Post-it® App, and then export them directly to Miro’s online whiteboard to riff, share, and bring them to life as a group. The result is an adaptable workflow that unlocks creativity, fosters collaboration, and democratizes ideation, so the whole squad feels seen and heard wherever and however you work.
