“This isn’t video, this is an engine for growth designed to give you incredible insight into your customers, build trust by having a conversation (qualitative) that has measurable results (quantitive)”
Sparked by this eye-catching quote from one of our US partners, our Co-CEO Kate Dimbleby takes a look at the value of curation for marketers.
How to optimize your interactive projects for mobile.
Stornaway Founder, Ru, and Community Champion, Abbie, will take you through:
✅ How mobile users engage with interactive stories
✅ Best practices for layout, navigation, and design
✅ Performance tips to ensure fast loading & smooth playback
✅ How to test and tweak for a mobile-first audience
✅ Common mistakes to avoid
What practical ways can AI help create successful interactive content?
The Stornaway team took a deep dive and found five ways to use LLMs (Large Language Models, such as ChatGPT or Gemini) to boost rather than harm your interactive project.
Is your communication strategy ready for the future of work?
Studies show that viewers are three times more likely to complete an interactive video than a linear video or PDFs. Conversions are ten times higher on interactive journeys.
After a lifetime of making linear videos, switching your mindset from one-way broadcast to two-way conversation can take a moment or two.
With interactive content, your audience is actively involved and waiting for you to ask them questions. They’re leaning forward and expect agency so plan your ideas like you’re talking to someone directly.
