Don't just take our word for it...
Shorthand has revolutionised how we can bring to life the stories around the incredible objects we sell at Christie’s. It has also driven up dwell time and CTR, which are both really important in the client journey.
Shorthand allows our editors and art directors the flexibility to dream up, execute and design beautiful multimedia stories and projects without relying on developers
The immersive story was a major success. Strong on-site traffic sent it to 25,000 page views, doubling what the client was promised and 12 times more than a typical sponsored article. Time on page was through the roof.
Using Shorthand allows us to create stories that celebrate our artistic and educational programme in a dynamic and engaging way which our audiences love. Longread editorial is consistently our most successful content type, so we are grateful to have a well-designed, flexible and easy-to-use tool.
We’ve already noticed time on page to be significantly higher on our Shorthand stories, up to nearly 7 minutes per session. In terms of actual engagement, it’s given us a big boost.
Using Shorthand has brought development time down from several weeks to a day or less. This means we can do many more projects than before. And time on page is always better than normal CMS stories. We’re getting some great results.
