More about Live Scribing on our website.
HOW?
Map your story out in an engaging and shareable takeaway...
After a simple briefing process, our team will advise you on the best way to tell your story. This could be in person or virtual. From the moon to the desert, we will join you to help tell your story visually.
During your event or workshop our scribe will be present, listening to key-insights and takeaways. They will cleverly capture your content as it unfolds. This scribe will provide the participants and wider community with a rich visual narrative (or story, scribe, image…) bespoke to your event.
Storytelling in Action: In Person Live Scribing
The illustrations created during this process can be used by you and your team/group for testing the story with the community and stakeholder, but also for creating collateral for social media, brochures, documents and more.
After your event our team aim deliver a digitised version within 48 hours. You can opt for anything from instagram portions to metres of a mural print out. Digital scribing also offers video playbacks.
WHAT DO YOU GET?
- Our artist will deliver a high quality summary of the sessions key themes, messages, ideas, and vision as a digital export in JPEG or PDF. You will have a rich graphic illustration of all your thinking in one place, easily able to bring engagement to your future communications of your story and how you want to bring that life.
- A recording of the illustration as it's drawn to use as an animation
Sometimes your project requires a different pace to deliver something that is bespoke. This is where the clarity of illustration is valued. Used for final reports and on websites, social media channels and maps for storytelling.
HOW?
After a simple briefing process, our creative will craft a visual style to compliment your brand and a bundle of images to bring home your message.

What clients have said
"In the midst of one of the most difficult years for many people, we made the decision to postpone the SheEO Australia Summit (originally scheduled for April 2020 in Brisbane) and move it online. We faced a challenge: re-imagining the event experience to take place on screens in people's homes. Thanks to Devon’s agility as a creative professional, we were able to give attendees another way to engage with what was happening "on stage"...and we now have beautiful monuments to what took place during the summit."
- Rosie and Murray from Half Decent Studio
“This is what Spinoza was after, seeing the whole in each part and seeing each part fitting into the whole. And you’re using artistic perception to bring that about. I really commend you on your work.”
- John Vervaeke, Associate Professor at University of Toronto
"Working with Josie at Digital Storytellers meant we were able to use the power of visuals to share good news from around the Australian media industry. A celebration of hard work packaged in a visual story and told in real time. It is not an easy feat and I am very grateful to Josie and the team for finding a way to make the presentation engaging and compelling. We have received excellent feedback since our event and won’t hesitate in working with Digital Story Tellers in the future."
- Claire Williams, Premium content Alliance
"We have been thrilled with our partnership with Digital Storytellers - their enthusiasm for our work has created a gorgeous result that really reflects the culture and messages we hoped to convey. An amazing, professional and flexible team - thank you."
- Jane Grimwood, Network Manager, Central Highlands Association of Neighbourhood Houses (CHANH)
