At this point, if your brand or institution is not using Shorthand to create its most important content, someone should be asking hard questions. 🤔 Here's how we rate against the three platforms we're most often compared to on G2. It's no longer even close. After a rigorous scientific analysis 🧪, I've concluded this is the result of our fantastic team's relentless focus on product and customers to the exclusion of just about everything else. I can't wait to share some of the amazing new things coming to Shorthand early in 2025!

"Capability". That's the word most used by our customers to describe what Shorthand delivers to resource-strapped marketing and communications teams at iconic brands in all kinds of industries. Without Shorthand, they simply can't do what they want to be able to do with their high-end visual storytelling. Either due to lack of time, or lack of appropriately skilled resources. Shorthand gives superpowers to storytellers. And, because we've built a brilliant team that I'm very proud of ❤️, our platform keeps getting better.
