A Must-Read for Those Starting a Note! 10 Corporate Note Accounts to Use as Reference

Although note launched as a media platform in 2014, as of June 2025, the cumulative number of registered members has exceeded 10 million.

Just like the use of social media such as X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, I imagine more and more companies are considering operating a note account. When I first started note, I was one of those people who didn't know left from right and ended up reading every other company's note I could get my hands on.

“I want to start a corporate note, but I don't know where to begin.” For those note beginners, I would like to introduce some corporate accounts that serve as great references!

Points for Selecting Accounts

There are three main points I used to carefully select these corporate accounts.

Calling them "carefully selected" might sound a bit condescending, but I have the utmost respect for every one of these companies <(_ _)>

The points I chose for this selection include not only content quality and thumbnails, but also the fact that there are various operational cases, such as by individuals, teams, or the entire company.

Also, since the operational structure differs from company to company, please check out the accounts that best suit your own company. (By the way, our company basically operates with a two-person team and publishes one article every other week.)

10 Corporate Accounts to Use as Reference

Now, I would like to introduce 10 corporate accounts that serve as great references!

① SmartHR

The first one I'd like to introduce is SmartHR, Inc., which anyone running a corporate note likely knows.

They are pioneers of the open internal newsletter, and a key feature is that they turn “internal company information,” such as corporate benefits and internal systems, into content.

From producing original novelty goods for New Year's parties to sharing unique and new initiatives, I imagine many companies are paying attention to their efforts.

Also, employees themselves update the note, establishing an operational structure that involves the staff.

② Kaminashi

At Kaminashi, Inc., their mascot character, Goton-kun, frequently appears on their note.

The adorable character is impressive, but they have also published the secret story behind Goton-kun's creation, which I think would be a great reference for when you are creating character designs.

Personally, I found the article about how they revamped the system so that anyone could create the character to be very interesting; the idea of managing it by breaking it down into parts is wonderful, so I definitely want you to read it.

In addition to design, they update articles for each department, and they also publish “Monthly Kaminashi” which covers monthly company topics, so please check that out as well.

③ Money Forward

The thumbnails using corporate colors are eye-catching, and since photos of employees are also posted, it is characterized by making it easy to see the faces of the people working there. Also, in addition to the official note, there are multiple accounts, and because they also post on personal notes, the amount of content is abundant. They have also appeared at events hosted by note, sharing

ways to involve employees in content creation.

“I want to share our corporate culture based on our employees!” This is a recommended account for those who feel this way.

④ ISHIDATECH

ISHIDATECH Co., Ltd. is characterized by eye-catching titles and articles full of personality, conveying the manufacturing floor unique to the manufacturing industry.

Because they continue a down-to-earth style of communication, I think many people become fans.

Articles are updated every Wednesday (as of October 2023). They also engage in membership-only posts which are rarely seen at other companies.

⑤ YUMEMI

Yumemi Inc. has engineers and designers themselves convey and share the company's culture and thoughts.

The company's unique systems are also a highlight; for example, the “Unlimited Study System” has the company cover all learning expenses. They also output what they have learned on note.

Also, 10 Bad Things About Yumemi is an interesting piece that takes an approach contrary to what readers expect, writing about things just as they are.

I think it is a note where the character of the writer shines through.

⑥ Hamee

They develop thumbnails that match the titles, and there is an abundance of articles with high messaging power and focus on the people working there, such as stories about joining Hamee and experiences regarding maternity leave, childcare leave, and returning to work.

They have published over 100 articles in a year, and I think they have overcome the difficult hurdle often found in note management of “getting note to permeate within the company”.

Goals I was glad I decided on before starting note are also written about, so if you are starting a note, please read it.

7. Feedforce

As stated in "How to Navigate Feedforce's Note," a key feature is that they share things exactly as they are, including internal systems and employee benefits.

Because they share internal information so candidly, each article has high engagement, and the usefulness of the information really comes across.

Also, like Kaminashi, they have mascot characters named "Feed-kun and Force-chan" appear on their Note, creating an approachable world.

8. Unique One

Unique One Inc. publishes content with eye-catching thumbnails that make readers want to click.

As a certified Note Pro sales partner, they have the deep trust of Note Inc., and they also feature a magazine called "Mastering Corporate Note Series" which is friendly to Note beginners.

The magazine is packed with information that will be helpful for those just starting out on Note, such as verification-style articles and how to create eye-catching images, so be sure to check it out if you're interested!

9. LAPRAS

LAPRAS Inc. publishes not only serious articles like employee interviews, but also lighthearted articles that match the season, such as those about Valentine's Day or calligraphy.

About a year after launching their Note, they published a retrospective including PV counts and 'like' counts. This makes it easy to see reader trends and which genres of articles are read the most.

Regardless of your industry, there is plenty of content that even those reading a corporate Note for the first time can enjoy, so please take a look.

10. Raid Inc.

Leveraging their status as an HR-related company, Raid Inc. publishes content that focuses on the members who work there and their work styles.

"Online Disaster Prevention Training" and "Independent Research Leave" are some of the unique initiatives they carry out, and they share photos of these activities.

If you are looking to start a Note not just for recruiting, but also for internal branding purposes, please use them as a reference.
