Presentations

Good presentations are clear, concise with the right mix of facts, images, graphics and video. Great presentations are very memorable and capture the mind as well as the emotions of the audience and motivate them to take action.

Depending on your needs and whether you already have most of the content, you can go for full design with story boarding or just request touch ups or design only. Most freelancers will use Powerpoint but many also work with Keynote, Google Slides, Canva, etc.

For an investor pitch deck 10-15 slides are sufficient. But it’s not just the number of slides, but the story you tell and how you captivate the emotions through the design, graphics and videos. Always ask the freelancer you work with to customize the deck to your own needs as a template will not do you any favours.

It’s important to examine the portfolio and credentials of the provider. An experienced freelancer will ask you a number of questions to get to know your business, so beware of those who offer a solution too fast. Compare their packages and create a shortlist of those you want to interview before deciding.

An experienced provider will not only look at the design, but most importantly support you into your journey of creating a memorable presentation that captures both hearts and minds. They’ll want to know whether you’re pitching, teaching or simply informing your audience as well as the delivery method so they can create the best for you.
