How do you feel about presentations? Does your mouth go as dry as the desert? Do you get more butterflies than a nature reserve? You’re not alone. Glossophobia isn’t about paint or lip balm. It’s a fear of public speaking and 77% of people have it. But how do you tackle the issue? Well, 90% of this anxiety comes from a lack of preparation.
A studio of PowerPoint presentation design professionals can help. But we don’t just design slides to settle nerves. Presenting may not even scare you. We can still add value though.
Let’s explore the full range of what we do.
Did you know that most people tune out of presentations after the first 10 minutes? How frustrating is that? Lack of direction is the usual suspect. Audiences struggle to follow dull slides with no logical flow.
The discovery stage builds a solid foundation for all great presentations. Understanding your target audience, content, goals, and brand guidelines is a crucial part of the process.
With these ingredients, a design studio can craft a focused slide deck that’ll keep attention and throw boredom out of court.
People are 22 times more likely to remember a fact when it’s part of a story. That’s a powerful way to stay in your audience’s head. A design studio can maximise this opportunity for you. With the discovery stage and compelling copy, they can weave your content into a narrative that resonates long after the crowd’s gone home.
67% of presenters struggle with deck design. You could be the most charismatic person in the room, but you still don’t want to be let down by your PowerPoint presentation (PPT).
A design studio can craft engaging sample slides for your approval. They can then turn these into a whole new deck that’ll tell your message in the most creative way possible.
How do you order food? Online, by phone, or over the counter? Collection or delivery? We’ve not even looked at the menu yet. The same goes for design studios. How do you want your presentation to be delivered? The finished PPT is a given and is great for traditional use where you can fully interact with people.
But we can also create it as HTML5 for sharing and embedding online so you can connect with a wider audience. We can even export it as a video for marketing displays and social media channels. The more platforms you use the greater the reach.
With fluid choices, a design studio can tailor the delivery of your presentation to your specific needs.
PPTs are great support tools for presenters. But the slide decks must also make an impact away from the meeting room.
Let’s look at the different types of decks that are out there.
A pitch deck is designed to give potential investors an overview of your business manifesto, aims, milestones, and financial plans. They’re an important resource for any start-up or established company looking to grow in the industrial, retail, and manufacturing sectors. Finding seed funding or getting angels to part with their money can be harder than nailing a jelly to the wall. On average, investors spend 3 minutes and 44 seconds on a pitch deck. Is that enough time to get your message across?
The better the deck the higher the chance of investment.
This is your classic style of advertising in PPT form. Marketing presentations tell target audiences all about your brand, products, and services. Their aim is a call to action (CTA). They help you persuade people to buy, subscribe, support, etc. But what if you’re not there when they’re looking at the slide deck? The audience could be viewing the PPT by themselves. They may bounce within the first 15 seconds... and we’re not talking about balls.
A well-designed deck will grab their attention and take them all the way to the CTA.
Conference presentations are great for sharing information on best practices, industry trends, and new ideas. Keynotes and speaker events are important for staying relevant in your field. But speaking to large audiences can also be terrifying. 91% of presenters feel more confident with a well-designed slide deck. They’re the perfect wingman to calm those nerves.
You don’t have a business if there’s no control of finances. Presentations are crucial for annual reports, quarterly growth updates, and stakeholder meetings. A slide deck can summarise financial data, charts, and ratios in a visual way that’s easily digestible. This allows for better analysis, performance reviews, and future planning.
Presentations with visual aids are 43% more engaging. This is even more relevant for product explainers. We can break down complex information into accessible PPTs to showcase your latest innovations. Slide decks that combine technical images, text, and 3D renders make it much easier for product managers to present to your target audience. More so with animations and videos.
Did you know that consistent brand presentation can increase your revenue by up to 23%? Many businesses struggle with this. We can help fill in the branding gaps on your PPT. We can even build a brand identity from scratch for you.
What about accompanying literature? Easy to overlook, but very important. It helps to guide people through the presentation. It’s also a great reminder and follow-through for your CTA.
Whether printed or online, we can design and implement collateral material that better engages your audience and sends them home with key takeaways.
As a studio of design professionals, we can turn your ideas into clear, compelling presentations. But that’s not all. We do everything from slide decks and storytelling to branding and literature. We’re your partner in connecting with target audiences in the most visually appealing way.
