Creativist is a website, platform, and application created by journalists, writers, editors, designers, coders, and readers. Creativist is a platform that support the Atavist which is a digital magazine that produces award winning, long-form narratives in journalism. They offer the use of Creativist as a platform for creating digital pieces.

The stories that are created through this platform are visually appealing. There is a constant mixture of visual, audio, and textual elements that are combined together to create a rich story-telling atmosphere. The platform offers high levels of control for author's who pay a higher rate for a subscription for the service, and lower levels as the rates drop. The reader has a limited amount of control whether the story is free or requires a fee to view. The control is normally limited to what elements are viewed or at what pace the story is read. 

 For the stories that are journalistic in nature, many of the elements of journalistic writing are evident. The platform however allows for the ability for the author to change what style of lead or hook takes. For instance in some of the stories, the introduction takes shape as a video or audio clip. This can hook the reader's in as it engages them in a multitude of ways. Extra information is made possible through the use of hyper links and the stories gain a lot of credibility with these additions. 

The amount of control and flexibility that Creativist offers is based solely on how much money the author is willing to spend. One must take into account how much value per story there is when deciding which subscription service to choose. The stories include a great deal of user involvement which brings the story to life in the eyes of the reader. "Electronic media has made it possible to include the aesthetic and poetic; the entirely participatory and the entirely responsive; the act of narrative creation and that of real-time production" (Francisco Ricardo). The amount of interactivity has multiple consequences, "Interactivity has produced the consequence of work that often performs neither a literature or art, but beyond both" (Ricardo). The amount of award-winning pieces that are published on the platform speaks for the quality of work that is made possible by a software designed specifically for digital journalism. 

Creativist uses the user's senses dramatically as it was a large part of the design process when creating the software. To fully engage the reader in the narrative the platform offers multiple ways of telling a single story. Whether it be through video, audio, text, or a combination of elements, the narratives are enhanced through the application of digital tools. The stimuli act to bring the reader into the world of the narrative which only digitally produced stories can do through the senses.
