Our professional presentation design service can include much more than just graphic design – at no extra cost.

As veteran marketers, we optimize presentations for the desired result – whether that is compelling stakeholders, exciting an audience or driving actions such as closing deals, sales, and so on.  We do this by leveraging a principles of sales and psychology, copywriting, a combination of data-science and storytelling as well as our own adaptation of conversion optimization best practices.

Our expertise across all these areas can go into every slide of your presentation at no extra cost. Or we can stick to only the design – that’s entirely up to you!

Yes we can, and it is the first step we carry out for all our presentations. We will provide an evaluation of your current pitch/presentation and produce an assessment report that includes a detailed inspection with commentary and feedback with constructive criticism. The report will outline what we’d do to improve the presentation and it’s up to you if you want to hire us to implement the suggestions. This is a paid service and is essentially the way we start working on all presentations.

Custom presentations vary in terms of pricing based based on the number and complexity of slides required and the time available for the completion of the project.

Reach out for an estimate and we can have a quick chat about your project. 

The core of our work is platform-agnostic and can be used across various presentation tools. Having said that, we almost exclusively work with PowerPoint. PPT and PPTX files are compatible with Google Slides and Keynote to an extent. We typically don’t work with Prezi or other online presentation applications.

Although Pitchsmart does provide (superb, if we may say so) design, it is predominantly the application of our special skillsets to produce actionable results that really sets us apart. We are marketers with a ton of experience in sales pitches, partner presentations, product launches, board presentations and keynote speeches. We optimize your presentations for a higher success rate – be that sales or other actions you wish your prospects to take. For rates on par with top designers you also get specialist marketing optimization and support for better results. That’s not just great design!

The presentation design service is specific to a pitch or presentation you have in mind. This could be a sales pitch that you want to use with various clients, where the content won’t vary wildly and you can tweak each presentation to tailor it for each client. We will optimize everything for you to get results for this specific presentation.

The template design service is more about achieving brand consistency and the same positioning across various types of presentations. We will put together a general library of slides for you to pick and mix according to the presentation you wish to create. Think of this more like a company presentation with 30, 50, or even more slides that can be used as a template for various applications that may include sales presentations, board reporting, press briefings, events, training, and so on.  

Certainly! Although we’ll provide the presentation and you’ll add the showmanship, we can still offer pointers and suggestions to improve the impact of your delivery. This could include running through the pitch together, practicing Q&A, sales role playing. 

Responsive support is available to all our clients.  We can make modifications and alterations as you require. After acceptance of a project our standard rates will apply to any additions or changes. If your business has substantial support requirements we can put together an SLA for long-term support. 

We can provide a Non-Disclosure Agreement and we don’t outsource our work to third parties unless we get your express written permission to do so.

Sensitive file transfers happen through a secure ISO 27001 compliant file transfer platform. Please don’t send anything sensitive over through any other means as we’ll provide you with a secure link to upload your files. Upon final signoff we will delete all sensitive data.

Certainly, we always take brand guidelines into account when putting together presentation decks. We strictly follow guidelines on colour schemes and logo usage. We require RGB or HEX colour codes and don’t support proprietary systems such as Pantone and RAL. 

Compliance to broader aspects of a detailed brand guideline document such as tone of voice guidelines may carry additional costs due to the additional time requirements.

It normally takes around a working week to produce a presentation. Templates can take longer. In both cases urgent jobs may be considered for faster delivery times but will carry an additional expedite fee.

These estimates are based on:

• prompt supply of all materials required
• timely payment
• prompt approval at each check-in stage

Yes we can facelift existing presentations. Please reach out to discuss your project requirements.

Despite the fact that our clients are from all over the world, we only work in English and only produce presentations in English. That said, clients that need their presentations in other languages typically translate them internally or with the help of a translation agency.

Not a problem. Creating a presentation from scratch can be more time consuming but can offer the advantage of not being constrained by assumptions and other limitations. 

Most of the time we produce new presentations and only use the previous decks as content input.

It’s very common for presentations fall between the cracks of marketing and sales budgets. This is is why they are a great opportunity to boost your advantage over the competition! Here’s a useful post that discusses the significant value an optimized presentation can provide for you to share with the budget holder that demonstrates the value of a well designed, results-optimized presentation. You can also share a link to our presentation ROI calculator.

Yes, certainly. We will most likely create a brand new presentation but we can use the existing presentation to get a better understanding, faster. We can also optimize existing presentations for achieving improved results without performing unnecessary alterations.  

Yes, most certainly. We can work on a single specific presentation or a full corporate style presentation deck and template for use across various functions and branches.

If you represent a larger organization you’ll be glad to know that we are sticklers for following brand guidelines, we are GDPR compliant, we have strong security and confidentiality credentials in place and we can provide an SLA for long-term service agreements.

Absolutely. Optimizing sales presentations is where our skillsets can be extremely valuable as we can help you get the most out of those pitching opportunities!

To calculate a rough ROI on a sales presentation project use our Presentation ROI Calculator and then get a quote from us for your project. 

We’ll start off with a no-cost consultation to understand your objectives, requirements and constraints are. We’ll get to understand your design style in the process. 

We’ll then provide you with a quote and proposal. If you’re happy to proceed we will formalize everything with an agreement after getting any due diligence out of the way. 

We will then get started by gathering all existing content, brand guidelines and previous presentations together. We’ll work closely by getting concepts over to you to get the styling, tone and pace right. 

To produce a powerful presentation we’ll need to make many iterations in a short timeframe, so frequent reviews will help us finetune everything to get the desired result.

The timeframe for delivery can range from as little as 3 days in some cases up to a few weeks if it is a larger presentation project.
