OUR MANTRA
It is our mission to prove you can do right by brand standards within PowerPoint. In fact, finding a PowerPoint-friendly way to express the brand’s spirit is a challenge that lights us up. We pride ourselves on being able to design presentations that stay true to the brand guidelines that designers have painstakingly created (and will happily work with them to make sure we’re being good brand ambassadors).
Not every designer is a presentation designer. There are all kinds of specialties when it comes to designers: web designers, logo designers, illustrators, and more. Expertise in one area does not mean expertise in another. Presentation design is no different: many designers are most comfortable working in Adobe Creative Suite, typically on a Mac. Asked to design a presentation, and they may not do it efficiently or with the best methods – and they're probably wishing this task was not in their hands! We happen to be the odd ducks who love PowerPoint (but know and leverage Adobe), and nerd out about all the cool things it can do.
CAPABILITIES
When we pull out the stops. It may be a keynote address, a sales presentation, or a company overview that will also serve as a leave behind. We will push beyond the “template” (while being brand compliant) and make this highly impactful.
For information-heavy decks that need formatting and alignment consistency to give them a professional look.
Somewhere between a formatting cleanup and high design. We would add on-brand visuals within the framework of the existing template to give the information more life.
LEARN MORE
Nearly anyone can design in PowerPoint – it’s the DIY of the business world. But when it really matters, should they?
What’s at stake?
Whether internally or externally presented, consider the number of eyeballs that will see it, the potential revenue you stand to gain, and/or the reflection on your personal and professional brand you want it to convey.
What’s the ROI on your time?
Is it a good use of your time? What was sacrificed? (e.g., time at home, working on the business/your primary job duties). How does the experience leave you feeling (e.g., frustrated? exhausted?)
Will it achieve your goals?
After all the time you invest working on the presentation, will it give you the desired outcome?
Will it be a positive reflection of your brand?
Inconsistent font styles and sizes, objects that aren’t aligned, inconsistent brand colors, logos and footers. These are all of the little details we obsess over and they all add up to a big impression. Does this feel as professional as you’d expect your website, ads and collateral to be?
PROCESS + PRICING
In a world of faceless online churn and burn design shops, I am proud to be the very human face of SlideShine. The person who will field your intro call and have a hand in your project from start to finish. While I fell into the world of presentations accidentally (as is the case for most of us), I quickly discovered I was uniquely suited for this particular niche that brings together the trio of skills I love: design, writing, storytelling. Over the past 15 years, let’s just say I’ve nerded out on PowerPoint.
