The thinking 02 / 08

A pitch deck is the first piece of work a client ever sees from you. It should look like the work they’re about to buy.

Story before slides
Structure comes first. Every slide earns its place in the argument, so the room follows you rather than reading ahead.
Built for pitch week
Late briefs, moving strategy, a rehearsal on Thursday. We work at agency pace and plug into your team directly.
Made to carry on
The deck that wins becomes the design language for everything after — so the relationship starts with a system, not a one-off.
Part one — Win 03 / 08

New-business design

For agencies going after an account, and for brands pitching to investors, partners or a board. Brief to final file, in your format.

A

Pitch & tender decks

Narrative, layout and visual polish for competitive pitches and formal tenders — to the brief and the deadline.

B

Creative route presentations

Moodboards, concept visuals and route decks that let a client see the idea, not just hear it.

C

Credentials decks

A sharp, reusable creds deck so the chemistry meeting opens with confidence — modular, easy to tailor per prospect.

D

Pitch-week support

An extra senior pair of hands in the final days: rebuilds, last-minute slides, leave-behinds and print.

Part two — Keep 04 / 08

Then we stay on.

Winning is the start. Most of the work happens day to day: the decks, toolkits and coordination that keep teams aligned and leaders supported. The same team that built the pitch carries it into the account — no handover, no re-briefing, no drift in quality.

01

Day-to-day working decks

The everyday decks that keep a business moving — updates, workshops, stakeholder packs and leadership papers — turned around reliably in PowerPoint and Google Slides.
02

Toolkit refreshes

Brand toolkits, master templates and slide libraries brought up to date, tidied and rebuilt so teams actually use them.
03

One place, one version

Pulling contributions from different teams into a single, consistent deck — one location, one standard, no conflicting copies.
04

A dependable point of contact

A steady pair of hands between teams and for leaders: someone who knows the brand, the people and the deadlines, and simply gets it done.
05

Reports, documents & rollout

Long-form reports, leave-behinds and campaign rollout that keep everything consistent beyond the slide.
Tools

Built natively in PowerPoint and Google Slides

Your teams live in PowerPoint and Google Slides, so that’s where the work is built — not exported from a design app and left impossible to edit.

PowerPoint

Slide masters, layouts, theme colours and fonts set up properly, so every new slide stays on brand.

Google Slides

Shared templates and theme builders for teams collaborating live, in one place.

Keynote and print-ready PDF when you need them too.

How it works 05 / 08

From brief to retainer

01
Brief call
What you’re pitching, who’s in the room, and when it’s due.

A slide-by-slide structure agreed before any design starts.

Once you’ve won, roll straight into a retained partnership.
Ways to work together 06 / 08
Single pitch
Pitch Sprint

One deck, start to finish. Storyline, design and final files on a fixed timeline.

Pitch + first 90 days
Win & Launch

The pitch, then the template system and first round of client presentations once it’s won.

Ongoing
Retained Partner

A set number of design days each month, priority booking for pitches, and one team that knows the account.

Questions 08 / 08

Good to know

Why focus on presentations?

Years of experience have shown that the deck is where most business decisions actually get made. Pitches are won, budgets approved and strategies agreed on the strength of a presentation, so it is often the most important document in the whole process. It deserves senior design attention, not a last-minute tidy-up.

Do you only design presentations?

No. OLO Creative covers the full range of design: brand and creative concepts, campaigns, reports, print and digital. Presentations are the specialism because they are where all of that comes together in front of the people who make decisions.

Can you handle production as well as creative?

Yes. Work runs from the first idea through to finished artwork: print-ready files, templates, rollout across formats, and the day-to-day amends that keep a business moving. One partner for the creative thinking, the production and the everyday design.

Do you work with clients outside the UK?

Yes. Most projects run remotely, with briefings and reviews over video call, so time zones and location are rarely an issue. Clients in and around Buckinghamshire, Oxford and London can also meet in person.

Which presentation formats do you design in?

Mainly PowerPoint and Google Slides — built natively with proper masters and layouts — plus Keynote, and PDF for leave-behinds and print. Files are handed over fully editable so your team can keep using them.

Can you refresh our PowerPoint or Google Slides templates?

Yes. Toolkit and template refreshes are a big part of the ongoing work — rebuilding masters and layouts, updating slide libraries, and bringing scattered team decks back into one consistent standard.

Can you work white-label for agencies?

Yes. We regularly work as an extension of agency teams on new-business pitches and ongoing client presentations, under the agency’s name.

What happens after the pitch is won?

The deck becomes the starting point for a template system and ongoing design support, on a project or retained basis — so the work stays consistent as the account grows.
