About
Location-based audio storytelling is a powerful new medium that brings together content and sensory experiences. Why just walk down the street, when you can walk with the voices of the people who know this place, or who can connect it to incredible stories?
Stories land harder when you are standing inside them. A real, familiar setting makes a story feel truer, and the place becomes an anchor for it. Walk past that spot again and the story is still there.
Placecasting works with organisations, charities, companies and arts projects to bring stories alive in tangible new ways. Our standard is goosebumps.
