Shorthand overview

What is Shorthand?

Shorthand helps marketing, communications, and media teams create engaging digital stories using interactive content, including video, audio, and scroll-based image transitions. It can be used by non-technical teams to create no-code data visualizations, without the help of web designers or developers. Shorthand provides collaboration tools, custom themes and branding, flexible publishing options, CMS integrations, API access, and more.

To create digital stories, teams can utilize drag-and-drop media uploads and section ordering tools. The Shorthand editor includes a wide range of custom templates and themes with options to add brand fonts, colors, logos, and other elements. Teams can create stories using social sharing metadata and share them on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media accounts. To measure the impact and performance of stories, teams can access Shorthand’s built-in analytics feature, which tracks views, time-on-page, and other metrics, or be directly integrated with Google Analytics.
