To deliver this message, Garcia Media is excited to partner with old friends and their smart new company who’ve built a distinctive tool that helps connect readers with content in a fresh approach. With Scrolly.com we’ve found a refreshing new option for bringing published content to life via “scrollytelling.” The platform allows us to produce super engaging content literally in minutes.
Scrollys are a dynamic storytelling format that combines captivating narratives with stunning visuals. They excel at explaining complex topics in an engaging and easily digestible way.
“We at Scrolly.com have found our perfect match in Mario Garcia and Steve Dorsey,” said Jan Schwochow, Co-Founder, Scrolly.com. “They have been keen to explore the possibilities of our software and together we have produced one of our best Scrollys to date.”
In late 2021, Benedikt Holtappels, Christian Krug, and Jan Schwochow combined their expertise in journalism, design, and marketing to create Scrolly.com – a platform designed to meet the needs of modern digital storytellers.
With an emphasis on providing a user-friendly tool that would allow storytellers to utilize their creativity without getting stuck on the technical aspects of coding, they found inspiration in the high engagement rates of the likes of Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat. This enabled them to create a platform that would allow scrollytelling to reach a larger audience and yield higher engagement rates than with static content – resulting in a powerful tool for publishers, brands, and educators around the globe.
Today, Scrolly is already being used regularly by media companies like Die Zeit, Wirtschafts Woche, and…
Scrolly brands itself as “the smartest way to explain the world.” They are a dynamic storytelling format that combines captivating narratives with visuals, as an efficient way to tell stunning visual stories at the highest quality level – without coding. They can explain complex topics in an engaging and easily digestible way. Perhaps one of the more interesting things about their process — Scrolly optimizes for all aspect ratios along the way so there’s no need to create multiple versions or re-render at different sizes later, and as a result projects are viewable in any size device with a browser.
Scrolly is AI-optimized and enables users to build in modules for generated content within topics they determine.

AI front and center
As I put finishing touches on the manuscript of my new book, AI: The Next Revolution for Content Creation, I am aware that the number of AI-related headlines that appear in my mailbox daily is on the increase, frustrating the author of a book that must have a date of completion, and realizing that in today’s fast paced technological advance environment, books must have websites created for updates.
