1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
obtaining, via a processor from at least one of text, images, or video, a plurality of content atoms involving a brand, the content atoms forming a narrative;
provisioning, based on the content atoms, a timeline-based story wherein the story comprises, for each of the content atoms, a media decoration that is presented in association with the corresponding content atom, and that is determined based on a concept that is derived from the text, images, or video of the corresponding content atom;
outputting, to a user, a notification indicating a change to at least one of the content atoms;
displaying, to the user, a plurality of hints in a table of contents or index, each of the hints indicating different content comprised in the corresponding content atom;
after the notification is outputted, obtaining, from the user, a selection of one of the hints that corresponds with the at least one changed content atom; and
responsive to the selection of the one hint, reentering provision of the timeline-based story at the corresponding content atom, reentering provision further comprises outputting the timeline-based story on a current device of the user in a manner that differs from the manner of outputting the timeline-based story on another device of the user during a prior provision based on the type of the current device being different from the type of the other device.
