Our take
Digital marketing has evolved beyond web-based campaigns to encompass mobile devices and social media platforms. This shift necessitates consistent marketing across multiple channels, leading to an increased demand for diverse content and larger content creation teams.
Storyteq offers a cloud-based creative automation platform that enables digital marketing teams to automatically generate platform-specific content. By providing templates for consistent branding across various formats and platforms, Stroyteq allows brands to create omnichannel campaigns without expanding their creative teams.
Unlike many omnichannel marketing platforms that focus on inbound campaigns and advertisements, Storyteq specialises in content creation. Its generative and autonomous platform aims to reduce marketing costs, streamline workforces, and deliver consistently branded content across all channels.
