The global tech team needed a polished, on-brand presentation for 2025 launches, but their slides screamed 2015. An investor roadshow was weeks away.
Marketing Manager & Global Biz Dev Lead: champions for a new look
Me: designer tasked with turning a tired deck into a flexible, branded system
Constraint: a very tight deadline
First Challenge
Their old PowerPoint template was cluttered, off-brand, and nowhere near modern design standards. Stakeholders feared it undermined credibility.
Rising Action
Audited the existing deck to find brand gaps
Defined a fresh visual language aligned with their 2025 identity
Built master layouts and custom backgrounds that anyone could use
Iterated quickly with daily feedback from both managers
Turning Point
A mid-week review showed the first fully branded slides.
Leadership realized they finally had a presentation that matched the company’s tech reputation.
Resolution
Delivered a complete PowerPoint template—backgrounds, ready-to-go slides, and usage guidelines—on time and fully brand-compliant.
Impact
Company-wide adoption within days
Consistent, professional look for every client meeting
Marketing team now saves hours building new decks
Reflection
This project proved that design systems aren’t just for apps.
A well-built template can upgrade how an entire company communicates.
