THREE CRITICAL TOOLS
RAPT MEDIA IS BUILDING THE FUTURE OF VIDEO
An interactive storytelling technology that gives
marketers and content creators entirely new ways
to tell personalized stories across all devices
through video.

WHY IS THIS EFFECTIVE FOR MILLENNIALS
THE CREATIVE TOOL
Enlist story as your currency for connection,
and take it to a much more encompassing
dimension: Elevate it using the power of
experience. Remember, people are much
more likely to remember and share their
personal stories than they are to remember
or spread yours.

WHAT TECHNOLOGY MATTERS
STORM IS GOING TO KICK UP A LOT OF
DATA, SO CHOOSE TECHNOLOGIES THAT
HELP YOU MEASURE:
ENGAGEMENT METRICS
BEHAVIOR INSIGHTS
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
NOW WHAT?
1. THINK NON-LINEARLY
• Where does choice and add value to my viewer?
• Is the interactivity fun?
• Is the interactivity playful?
• Is the interactivity game-like?
• Does it add efficiency and easy access to information?
2. ADD VALUE
Creative Business
Tech
3. BUILD INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION
4. INTEGRATE WITH DATA SOLUTIONS
In many ways,
interactive video is
more like web
development than
video production, and
the notion of agile
development applies.
5. BECOME AGILE
