What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

In June 2025, our team at 9:16 Stories was entrusted with capturing Sayaspora’s sold-out event, “Making Your Way Up.” Our mandate was clear: document the energy, the impact, and the emotion — and make the audience feel it, even after the event was over.

We approached the production with agility and creativity, designing a video strategy that aligned with how Gen Z and millennial audiences consume content: short, shareable, and emotionally resonant. At the same time, we ensured that Sayaspora’s key stakeholders and donors were represented with dignity and care, so they could clearly see the impact of their support.

The results?
✔️ 6 high-quality videos capturing the full essence of the day
✔️ Over 40,000 organic views across platforms
✔️ A digital archive that makes those who missed it want to attend the next one — and those who were there proud to have shown up.

At 9:16 Stories, we believe the job doesn’t stop at capturing the moment — it’s about translating it into a visual story that extends the life and legacy of your event.
