When Storytelling Meets Geography

What do you get when you mix together
storytelling and geography?

I have recently come across Built Story a new mobile app that’s doing just that: creating self-guided tours where each stop is, in essence, a chapter of a larger story you’re telling about your town or other places you’re visiting. Not only that, but the app also allows you to sell your tours and getting other people to appreciate the stories behind your favorite places.

How cool is that?

As we’re entering the summer while still working to overcome this pandemic, I figured this is a great way to tell a visual story especially after our long months of lockdown.

With this in mind, I was excited to have Brian Alonso, Co-founder of Built Story tell us more about his unique visual storytelling approach.

Some of the questions I asked Brian

– What was the most emotional moment that got you to start BuiltStory?

– What is BuiltStory’s business model and market coverage?

– How does visual storytelling fit into BuiltStory?

– How do you see brands using tours to create emotional bonds with their audiences?

– How can tour takers see a place through the eyes of tour creators using an image, video, sound, and text?

– And much more!
