The Vantr mascot

Meet Vann.

Vann is the small blue face you'll see all over Vantr. His name stands for Virtual Assistant for Noticing Needs, and noticing is what he does: the post you haven't made, the streak that ends at midnight, the brand that still hasn't paid.

Then he tells you. Sometimes gently. Sometimes not.

Moods

One face, a lot of feelings

No mouth, no eyebrows. Vann says everything with his eyes, and a prop or two.

His job

What Vann does all day

  • Keeps your streak alive

    He tracks your daily and weekly posting streaks, celebrates the milestones, and nags you (lovingly) before one breaks.

  • Chases the money

    Overdue invoice? Vann reminds the brand so you don't have to write the awkward email.

  • Gives you the day in one line

    Open Vantr and he tells you what matters today: what's going out, what got paid, what's late.

  • Helps when you ask

    Stuck on a caption or a hook, a counteroffer or a contract? Ask Vann. He drafts, you decide.

  • Asks before he acts

    Nothing gets posted, sent or charged until you've said yes. He notices; you're in charge.

Questions

Things people ask about Vann

What does Vann stand for?
Virtual Assistant for Noticing Needs. He notices what needs doing before it turns into a problem, and then he tells you about it.
Why doesn't he have a mouth?
He doesn't need one. Everything Vann feels is in his eyes: happy arcs when you post, worried pills at 6pm, full panic in the last hour of your streak.
Will he guilt trip me?
A little. If your streak is about to break, Vann will send you a message about it, and he won't pretend he isn't disappointed. It works.
Does he dress up?
Every holiday. A witch hat in October, a Santa hat in December, sunglasses on the weekend, a nightcap when you're done for the day.
Can I poke him?
Yes. Poke him five times quickly and he gets dizzy. Leave him alone long enough and he falls asleep.
Where does he live?
All over Vantr: on Home with his take on your day, in the corner when you need help, in your notifications, and on your phone's home screen as a streak widget.
