Design › Slideware and sales collateral
The documents you put in front of a customer.
Deck templates, pitch documents, sales collateral. It is the least glamorous design work there is, almost nobody sells it properly, and it is often the thing losing you the work.
Every business has a deck. Most of them were built by whoever was free, from a template somebody downloaded, and every new slide drifts a little further from the last. By the time it reaches a customer it says the business is careless, whatever the words on it claim.
This is the work that filled most of those years inside BT: sixty-plus decks delivered, and a lot of years spent making templates that survive contact with people who are not designers and are in a hurry.
The trick is never the visual design. It is building a template with enough layouts that nobody has to improvise, and few enough that nobody gives up looking.
What this usually includes
- Master deck templates people can use
- Pitch and tender documents
- Sales and capability collateral
- Chart and data slide systems
- Event and conference material
- Training the team to use the template
