Where Storytelling Meets Motion: Inside the Cartograph Experience

November 21, 2025

Learn how our new Cartograph components can put your story center stage.

From dreamy destinations to streaming sagas, see how Cartograph’s Map + Slider duo turns every ad into an interactive adventure.

Step into a new kind of ad experience — one where maps aren’t just maps, and slides aren’t just slides. With the Cartograph Map + Slider duo, every tap, hover, and scroll becomes a story waiting to unfold.

Whether you’re guiding prospective travelers across the sun-soaked islands of Hawaii or plunging viewers into the swashbuckling 1700s seas in Black Sails‘, or Outlander’s lush Scottish highlands, our Cartograph components turn static screens into fully immersive journeys.

This isn’t storytelling as usual — it’s storytelling in motion, and it’s built to keep audiences exploring.

The Power Pair: Map + Slider

Here’s the breakdown:
🗺️ Cartograph Map component: Your visual anchor. Upload a custom image, drop in hotspots, and link each to rich content. It’s your playground for spatial or conceptual storytelling.
🎞️ Cartograph Slider component: The narrative engine. Load up slides with video, images, GIFs or text. Think smooth transitions, hover states, and tappable CTAs that keep the story flowing.

Together, they let users choose their own adventure. Click a hotspot, watch the slider come alive, explore, repeat. The result? Ads that feel more like interactive journeys than static screens.

And the best part? This combo works everywhere. From tourism to entertainment, fashion to finance, literature to libations. If you’ve got a story with layers, you can map it with Cartograph components.

🌴 Hawaii Tourism: A Map Made for Wanderlust

First stop: the islands.

Picture this: a stylized map of Hawaii floating in your ad unit. Each island glows with a hotspot. Tap one, and the slider fills with cinematic video: surfers cutting through waves, lava flowing at golden hour, lush rainforest waterfalls.

You can swipe through each island, to feel it’s essence. It’s equal parts interactive itinerary and dream vacation teaser.

This setup nails everything travel brands want:

The map gives a sense of place and discovery.
The slider delivers the emotion, the sights, sounds, and textures.
The user? Fully immersed.

It’s the kind of ad that doesn’t just give engagement, it gives wanderlust.
