Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world

What is a Story Map?
A web map thoughtfully created with supporting information so it becomes a stand-alone resource. Integrate maps, legends, text, photos, and video. Provides functionality such as swipe, pop-ups, and time sliders that help users explore this content.
Story Maps allow us to go from a 100,000-foot’ level view to ground-level quickly and easily to demonstrate how well South Carolina is positioned to support foreign capital investment. Story Maps can also be used to promote the state broadly as a great place to work, live, play, and more. Story Maps allow us to utilize social media and digital marketing to maximize exposure while minimizing expense.
