A bridge to the interactive future

Stornaway lets you bring interactivity into your content to communicate complex information in more engaging, entertaining and personalised ways, with granular data you can track.

Whether you’re in learning, marketing, communications, entertainment, whether you are a beginner or a power user, Stornaway’s flexible design gives you what you need.

Fast and creative interactive workflows

Don’t let a cumbersome content creation process stifle your creative ideas. Create, review and approve content in one place with instant playback for all.

Stornaway’s intuitive drag-and-drop platform allows the whole team to quickly and easily create interactive videos. Collaborate, test, and launch interactive content faster, seamlessly integrating your favourite tools – Adobe, Canva, Synthesia, HubSpot, Salesforce, your LMS, your CMS and more.

Deliver innovative personalised experiences easily

Only content that is truly relevant to its audience will deliver conversions in our noisy digital world.

One-size-fits-all content fails to resonate with today’s overwhelmed audiences. Craft personalised, adaptive experiences that viewers can tailor to their own interests and preferences. This approach has been shown to boost engagement rates ten times over. And with Stornaway, you can rapidly plan, test, design, and deliver beautiful interactive experiences without developer bottlenecks.

Transform passive viewers into active participants

Static content and linear videos struggle to engage audiences because they don’t invite viewers into the experience. 

Interactive videos are two-way conversations. This innovative format typically gains higher engagement because audiences tailor their experience and become invested in the outcome. Stornaway interactive videos typically see 10x higher engagement and 20x longer watch times than linear content.

Prove content value with robust analytics

How do you demonstrate the full value of creative work to stakeholders and clients? With robust and tangible analytics.

Gain full visibility into viewer decisions, interactions, and interests with a comprehensive analytics dashboard. Get accurate insight into your audience that don’t rely on second-guessing website behaviour or questionable third-party data. Open the door to data-backed creative decisions that stakeholders trust.

What Our Customers Say

Jules MorganL&D Content Lead, Springer Nature

We’ve never quite found the right application or vendor, until Stornaway. It’s the right tool. We are building eLearning video modules with branching logic.

Andrew IskowitzSenior Creative Director, Discovery Education

It’s really been a game changer on our side. There’s so much possibility within the platform and it’s exciting to see the number of projects already underway.

Alan GrossPresident, GSM Marketing

This isn’t ‘a 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 (quantitative).

Paul BrennanLearning Experience Designer

In terms of the results, SPECTACULAR is the word I would use. Thanks to Stornaway, we were able to produce a series of highly-authentic, robust, excellent live-play examples that were deployed straight into their digital learning platform. It was a game changer for what we were able to achieve for the sales and field engineers.

Mia PaleyDigital Design Consultant, Direct Line Group

It's been massively exciting to bring that new technology into the business and to really see it help our new guys get that kind of hearts and minds bit behind it as well. So not just the process, but really putting them in the customer's shoes, in a safe environment.

Morgan ObregonDirector of Content Operations, Living Security

Once we had the interactive experience built with Stornaway, it was so reusable and repeatable for an audience or for one-to-one training that it was widely accepted by clients and celebrated once we saw the interactive element.

Romain C. HeraultUniversity Lecturer, Video Producer, Researcher

The whole goal of this is to bring that to professionals and, well, they are on the move and they have to train. This is where the web-based service that Stornaway provides in a very stable way helps a lot.

Paul MallaghanCreative Director, Tilt (for Diageo/UN global education campaign)

Stornaway allowed us share files & work on this collaborative workspace. They set up an account, whichever country they were in, and we could see and work on interactive flows. Very early & very quickly, we could see and shape the story together.

Kat RolleyDigital Learning and Engagement Consultant

You’re always going to retain information better if you effectively engage with the learning experience.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I publish my Stornaway project?

Projects are published to Stornaway’s own versatile player. This can then be embedded on your website, Learning Management System (LMS), PowerPoint, or as an app through Unity and Unreal for Mobile, Steam, Consoles, VR, and Compatible VOD platforms.

For advanced options on our custom plan, you can host the player and projects on your own servers, or we can integrate our interactive editor and overlays with your existing video players and hosting.

How much does Stornaway.io cost?

Our free plan lets you quickly pick up and play with the possibilities of interactive video. Once you have the hang of it, there is a range of subscription plans available. Find a plan that works for you.

What tools does Stornaway integrate with?

Stornaway is designed to be flexible and open. This means it can integrate smoothly with the software and tools you are already using. No need to rebuild your tech stack.

Also, our handy integration with Adobe has brought their powerful editing tools into Stornaway to speed up image and video design.

How can I track data / measure engagement of my videos?

We understand that data holds the key to engaging your audience. Stornaway’s analytics dashboard automatically captures audience engagement data, such as video views, individual Story Island views and watch times.

However, on a Custom Plan, you can unlock information at a granular level. Stornaway offers a Player API which can track and report on specific events, such as button clicks, quiz scores and other triggers, from individual viewers. This can then be sent straight into your own systems or LMS.

Wherever your project is embedded, our API gives you full flexibility and control over how you collect and manage your data when releasing your projects.

My organisation has extremely strict data and security policies – how do I ensure compliance?

Stornaway has been designed to comply with the strictest data security policies. We already work with governments, universities, healthcare organisations and other enterprises that require total data protection and privacy compliance.

Stornaway collects no PII (Personally Identifiable Information) for videos created within our platform. While we don’t require a Stornaway login to view the videos that are created, they can be secured behind your own login or locked to a specific domain.

All viewer and project data is hosted on the widely trusted Heroku platform, in their Dublin data centres. Video files are hosted and processed in Amazon Web Services in their London data centres, and delivered via local Cloudfront servers to wherever you are in the world.

For stricter compliance requirements, our custom licences provide an on-premise player that runs entirely within your own system. This is ideal for organizations needing greater security, compliance, and data control, especially in regulated industries like healthcare, finance, or government.

Can I post my project on social media?

Create a seamless experience between social media pages and interactive video.

Use the 9:16 aspect ratio and post a link in TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other social media platforms. The interactive video follows the link within the social media app for a seamless experience.

Do you have a limit on the number of views and how much does it cost to have lots of viewers?

Stornaway considers bandwidth rather than the number of video views.

Just because a viewer has started a video doesn’t mean they will finish it. Rather than counting views, bandwidth measures what’s actually been watched. Only the data that has been transferred is measured and included.

But what does that mean in practical terms? 99% of Stornaway creators never reach their bandwidth limits. If you’re in the lucky 1%, we’ll be in touch in plenty of time.

If you know you’re presenting to a really big audience, get in touch – we have different options to suit you.
