Visual storytelling engages audiences better than text alone. When viewers can interact with elements of a story, they’re even more invested than they are with static visuals.

Interactive infographics help tell stories that captivate audiences by encouraging them to take part in the story and spend more time with the content. Interactive elements like expandable pop-ups, scrolling carousels, and clickable callouts let viewers explore content in a more active way than reading a static piece.

We’ve gathered a few of our favorite interactive infographics to show how brands can use interactivity to make their stories engaging, memorable, and fun. Check ‘em out below!
