August 3, 2018

Apester, the interactive storytelling platform, has launched a suite of story features that grants online publishers and businesses innovative engagement experiences inspired by social networks.

With the new Story suite, online brands are now able to produce Instagram-like stories in minutes and seamlessly blend them into their sites without any need for a designer.

Brands can distribute their stories across their online properties with the Story Strip, a carousel of your site’s live Stories, located at the top of an article or a section page. The Story Suite’s new export feature also makes the stories easily exportable to social accounts, such as Instagram or Snapchat. By offering innovative Story creation, distribution, and monetization solutions, Apester provides online publishers and enterprises with the layers they lack in order to reclaim their audience long lost to social networks.

Apester Story is the first story format that is open for everyone regardless of platform. Apester is the first platform to allow content creators to seamlessly embed stories on their web pages, export them to Instagram & Snapchat, and monetize the stories.
