A Day in the Life of a Story Intelligence Associate What is Story Intelligence? Story Intelligence lives at the intersection of science and creativity. We’re writers in lab coats. Shakespeare with a microscope. J.K. Rowling wielding data instead of magic. Basically, we use data to improve the way we tell stories. Typical Day Each Story Intelligence Associate’s daily routine is different. The nature of the work allows for us to work from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. One associate crafts her prose in sunny LA. Another analyses data as he tours the world, from Indonesia to Croatia. Yet another hosts workshops for our authors all around the globe from our headquarters in Berlin.
A Recap of our 2022 Summer Summit in Berlin: Building Connections and Kickstarting New Collaborations Inkers convened in Berlin for our first company offsite since 2019. Two years ago, like many other companies, Inkitt went 100% virtual. During that time, we continued to grow as a team and expanded beyond Berlin. We learned to collaborate efficiently while working remotely across different time zones using tools like Slack and Google Meet. Although we’ve opened our new offices in Berlin and San Francisco, we continue to operate as a hybrid team— those of us located close to the office come in 1-3 times a week. Our team has more than doubled since 2019, and many of us now regularly work with people whom we’ve never met in person at all! The last time we organized a company-wide offsite was a little over two years ago. So, we brought the entire team to Berlin to work together, learn from each other, and build relationships.
