20 Great Examples of PowerPoint Presentation Design [+ Templates]
Published: January 17, 2024
When it comes to PowerPoint presentation design, there's no shortage of avenues you can take.
While all that choice — colors, formats, visuals, fonts — can feel liberating, it‘s important that you’re careful in your selection as not all design combinations add up to success.
In this blog post, I’m sharing some of my favorite PowerPoint tips and templates to help you nail your next presentation.

In my opinion, a great PowerPoint presentation gets the point across succinctly while using a design that doesn't detract from it.
Here are some of the elements I like to keep in mind when I’m building my own.
1. Minimal Animations and Transitions
Believe it or not, animations and transitions can take away from your PowerPoint presentation. Why? Well, they distract from the content you worked so hard on.
A good PowerPoint presentation keeps the focus on your argument by keeping animations and transitions to a minimum. I suggest using them tastefully and sparingly to emphasize a point or bring attention to a certain part of an image.
2. Cohesive Color Palette
I like to refresh my memory on color theory when creating a new PowerPoint presentation.
A cohesive color palette uses complementary and analogous colors to draw the audience’s attention and help emphasize certain aspects at the right time.
This simplistic presentation example employs several different colors and font weights, but instead of coming off as disconnected, the varied colors work with one another to create contrast and call out specific concepts.
What I like: The big, bold numbers help set the reader's expectations, as they clearly signify how far along the viewer is in the list of tips.
10. “Pixar's 22 Rules to Phenomenal Storytelling,” Gavin McMahon
This presentation by Gavin McMahon features color in all the right places. While each of the background images boasts a bright, spotlight-like design, all the characters are intentionally blacked out.
What I like: This helps keep the focus on the tips, while still incorporating visuals. Not to mention, it's still easy for me to identify each character without the details. (I found you on slide eight, Nemo.)
11. “Facebook Engagement and Activity Report,” We Are Social
Here's another great example of data visualization in the wild.
What I like: Rather than displaying numbers and statistics straight up, this presentation calls upon interesting, colorful graphs, and charts to present the information in a way that just makes sense.
12. “The GaryVee Content Model,” Gary Vaynerchuk
This wouldn‘t be a true Gary Vaynerchuk presentation if it wasn’t a little loud, am I right?
What I like: Aside from the fact that I love the eye-catching, bright yellow background, Vaynerchuk does a great job of incorporating screenshots on each slide to create a visual tutorial that coincides with the tips. He also does a great job including a visual table of contents that shows your progress as you go .
13. “20 Tweetable Quotes to Inspire Marketing & Design Creative Genius,” IMPACT Branding & Design
We‘ve all seen our fair share of quote-chronicling presentations but that isn’t to say they were all done well. Often the background images are poor quality, the text is too small, or there isn't enough contrast.
Well, this professional presentation from IMPACT Branding & Design suffers from none of said challenges.
What I like: The colorful filters over each background image create just enough contrast for the quotes to stand out.
14. “The Great State of Design,” Stacy Kvernmo
This presentation offers up a lot of information in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming.
What I like: The contrasting colors create visual interest and “pop,” and the comic images (slides 6 through 12) are used to make the information seem less buttoned-up and overwhelming.
15. “Clickbait: A Guide To Writing Un-Ignorable Headlines,” Ethos3
Not going to lie, it was the title that convinced me to click through to this presentation but the awesome design kept me there once I arrived.
What I like: This simple design adheres to a consistent color pattern and leverages bullet points and varied fonts to break up the text nicely.
16. “Digital Transformation in 50 Soundbites,” Julie Dodd
This design highlights a great alternative to the “text-over-image” display we've grown used to seeing.
What I like: By leveraging a split-screen approach to each presentation slide, Julie Dodd was able to serve up a clean, legible quote without sacrificing the power of a strong visual.
17. “Fix Your Really Bad PowerPoint,” Slide Comet
When you‘re creating a PowerPoint about how everyone’s PowerPoints stink, yours had better be terrific. The one above, based on the ebook by Seth Godin, keeps it simple without boring its audience.
What I like: Its clever combinations of fonts, together with consistent color across each slide, ensure you're neither overwhelmed nor unengaged.
18. “How Google Works,” Eric Schmidt
Simple, clever doodles tell the story of Google in a fun and creative way. This presentation reads almost like a storybook, making it easy to move from one slide to the next.
What I like: This uncluttered approach provides viewers with an easy-to-understand explanation of a complicated topic.
19. “What Really Differentiates the Best Content Marketers From The Rest,” Ross Simmonds
Let‘s be honest: These graphics are hard not to love. I especially appreciate the author’s cartoonified self-portrait that closes out the presentation. Well played, Ross Simmonds.
What I like: Rather than employing the same old stock photos, this unique design serves as a refreshing way to present information that's both valuable and fun.
20. “Be A Great Product Leader,” Adam Nash
This presentation by Adam Nash immediately draws attention by putting the company's logo first — a great move if your company is well known.
What I like: He uses popular images, such as ones of Megatron and Pinocchio, to drive his points home. In the same way, you can take advantage of popular images and media to keep your audience engaged.
PowerPoint Presentation Examples for the Best Slide Presentation
Mastering a PowerPoint presentation begins with the design itself.
Get inspired by my ideas above to create a presentation that engages your audience, builds upon your point, and helps you generate leads for your brand.

Video presentation examples
Video presentations are our specialty at Biteable. We love them because they’re the most visually appealing and memorable way to communicate.
1. Animated characters
Our first presentation example is a business explainer video from Biteable that uses animated characters. The friendly and modern style makes this the perfect presentation for engaging your audience.
Bonus template: Need a business video presentation that reflects the beautiful diversity of your customers or team? Use Biteable’s workplace scenes . You can change the skin tone and hair color for any of the animated characters.
2. Conference video
Videos are also ideal solutions for events (e.g. trade shows) where they can be looped to play constantly while you attend to more important things like talking to people and handing out free cheese samples.
For this event presentation sample below, we used bright colours, stock footage, and messaging that reflects the brand and values of the company. All these elements work together to draw the attention of passers-by.
For a huge selection of video presentation templates, take a look at our template gallery .
Business PowerPoint presentation examples
Striking fear into the hearts of the workplace since 1987, PowerPoint is synonymous with bland, boring presentations that feel more like an endurance test than a learning opportunity. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Check out these anything-but-boring business PowerPoint presentation examples.
3. Design pointers
This PowerPoint presentation takes a tongue-in-cheek look at how the speakers and users of PowerPoint are the problem, not the software itself.
Even at a hefty 61 slides, the vintage theme, appealing colors, and engaging content keep the viewer interested. It delivers useful and actionable tips on creating a better experience for your audience.
Pixar, as you’d expect, redefines the meaning of PowerPoint in their “22 Rules for Phenomenal Storytelling”. The character silhouettes are instantly recognizable and tie firmly to the Pixar brand. The bright colour palettes are carefully chosen to highlight the content of each slide.
This presentation is a good length, delivering one message per slide, making it easy for an audience to take notes and retain the information.
Google slides examples
If you’re in business, chances are you’ll have come across slide decks . Much like a deck of cards, each slide plays a key part in the overall ‘deck’, creating a well-rounded presentation.
If you need to inform your team, present findings, or outline a new strategy, slides are one of the most effective ways to do this.
Google Slides is one of the best ways to create a slide deck right now. It’s easy to use and has built-in design tools that integrate with Adobe, Lucidchart, and more. The best part — it’s free!
5. Teacher education
Here’s a slide deck that was created to educate teachers on how to use Google Slides effectively in a classroom. At first glance it seems stuffy and businessy, but if you look closer it’s apparent the creator knows his audience well, throwing in some teacher-friendly content that’s bound to get a smile.
The slides give walkthrough screenshots and practical advice on the different ways teachers can use the software to make their lives that little bit easier and educate their students at the same time.
6. Charity awareness raiser
This next Google slide deck is designed to raise awareness for an animal shelter. It has simple, clear messaging, and makes use of the furry friends it rescues to tug on heartstrings and encourage donations and adoptions from its audience.
Pro tip: Creating a presentation is exciting but also a little daunting. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed — especially if the success of your business or nonprofit depends on it.
Prezi presentation examples
If you haven’t come across Prezi , it’s a great alternative to using static slides. Sitting somewhere between slides and a video presentation, it allows you to import other content and add motion to create a more engaging viewer experience.
7. Red Bull event recap
This Prezi was created to document the Red Bull stratosphere freefall stunt a few years ago. It neatly captures all the things that Prezi is capable of, including video inserts and the zoom effect, which gives an animated, almost 3D effect to what would otherwise be still images.
Prezi has annual awards for the best examples of presentations over the year. This next example is one of the 2018 winners. It was made to highlight a new Logitech tool.
8. Logitech Spotlight launch
What stands out here are the juicy colors, bold imagery, and the way the designer has used Prezi to its full extent, including rotations, panning, fades, and a full zoom out to finish the presentation.
Sales presentation examples
If you’re stuck for ideas for your sales presentation, step right this way and check out this video template we made for you.
9. Sales enablement video presentation
In today’s fast-paced sales environment, you need a way to make your sales enablement presentations memorable and engaging for busy reps. Sales enablement videos are just the ticket. Use this video presentation template the next time you need to present on your metrics.
10. Zuroa sales deck
If you’re after a sales deck, you can’t go past this example from Zuora. What makes it great? It begins by introducing the worldwide shift in the way consumers are shopping. It’s a global phenomenon, and something we can all relate to.
It then weaves a compelling story about how the subscription model is changing the face of daily life for everyone. Metrics and testimonials from well-known CEOs and executives are included for some slamming social proof to boost the sales message.
Pitch presentation examples
Pitch decks are used to give an overview of business plans, and are usually presented during meetings with customers, investors, or potential partners.
11. Uber pitch deck
This is Uber’s original pitch deck, which (apart from looking a teensy bit dated) gives an excellent overview of their business model and clearly shows how they intended to disrupt a traditional industry and provide a better service to people. Right now, you’re probably very grateful that this pitch presentation was a winner.
You can make your own pitch deck with Biteable, or start with one of our video templates to make something a little more memorable.
12. Video pitch template
This video pitch presentation clearly speaks to the pains of everyone who needs to commute and find parking. It then provides the solution with its app that makes parking a breeze.
The video also introduces the key team members, their business strategy, and what they’re hoping to raise in funding. It’s a simple, clear pitch that positions the company as a key solution to a growing, worldwide problem. It’s compelling and convincing, as a good presentation should be.
13. Fyre Festival pitch deck
The most epic example of a recent pitch deck is this one for Fyre Festival – the greatest event that never happened. Marvel at its persuasion, gasp at the opportunity of being part of the cultural experience of the decade, cringe as everything goes from bad to worse.
Despite the very public outcome, this is a masterclass in how to create hype and get funding with your pitch deck using beautiful imagery, beautiful people, and beautiful promises of riches and fame.
Business presentation examples
Need to get the right message out to the right people? Business presentations can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
Simply press play and let your video do the talking. No fumbling your words and sweating buckets in front of those potential clients, just you being cool as a cucumber while your presentation does the talking.
Check out two of our popular templates that you can use as a starting point for your own presentations. While they’re business-minded, they’re definitely not boring.
14. Business intro template
Modern graphics, animations, and upbeat soundtracks keep your prospects engaged as they learn about your business, your team, your values, and how you can help them.
15. Business explainer template
Research presentation examples.
When you’re giving a more technical presentation such as research findings, you need to strike the perfect balance between informing your audience and making sure they stay awake.
As a rule, slides are more effective for research presentations, as they are used to support the speaker’s knowledge rather can capture every small detail on screen.
With often dry, complex, and technical subject matter, there can be a temptation for presentations to follow suit. Use images instead of walls of text, and keep things as easy to follow as possible.
16. TrackMaven research deck
TrackMaven uses their endearing mascot to lighten up this data-heavy slide deck. The graphs help to bring life to their findings, and they ensure to only have one bite-size takeaway per slide so that viewers can easily take notes.
17. Wearable tech research report
Obviously, research can get very researchy and there’s not a lot to be done about it. This slide deck below lays out a ton of in-depth information but breaks it up well with quotes, diagrams, and interesting facts to keep viewers engaged while it delivers its findings on wearable technology.
Team presentation examples
Motivating your team can be a challenge at the best of times, especially when you need to gather them together for….another presentation!
18. Team update template
We created this presentation template as an example of how to engage your team. In this case, it’s for an internal product launch. Using colorful animation and engaging pacing, this video presentation is much better than a static PowerPoint, right?
19. Officevibe collaboration explainer
This short slide deck is a presentation designed to increase awareness of the problems of a disengaged team. Bright colors and relevant images combine with facts and figures that compel viewers to click through to a download to learn more about helping their teams succeed.
Recruitment presentation examples
Recruiting the right people can be a challenge. Presentations can help display your team and your business by painting a dynamic picture of what it’s like to work with you.
Videos and animated slides let you capture the essence of your brand and workplace so the right employees can find you.
20. Company culture explainer
If you’re a recruitment agency, your challenge is to stand out from the hundreds of other agencies in the marketplace.
21. Kaizen culture
Showcasing your agency using a slide deck can give employers and employees a feel for doing business with you. Kaizen clearly displays its credentials and highlights its brand values and personality here (and also its appreciation of the coffee bean).
Explainer presentation examples
Got some explaining to do? Using an explainer video is the ideal way to showcase products that are technical, digital, or otherwise too difficult to explain with still images and text.
Explainer videos help you present the features and values of your product in an engaging way that speaks to your ideal audience and promotes your brand at the same time.
22. Product explainer template
23. lucidchart explainer.
Lucidchart does a stellar job of using explainer videos for their software. Their series of explainers-within-explainers entertains the viewer with cute imagery and an endearing brand voice. At the same time, the video is educating its audience on how to use the actual product. We (almost) guarantee you’ll have more love for spiders after watching this one.

With our comprehensive guide to the best presentation design techniques, you’ll be able to develop an engaging and professional presentation that gets results!
What is presentation design?
Presentation design encompasses a variety of elements that make up the overall feel and look of the presentation. It’s a combination of certain elements, like text, font, color, background, imagery, and animations.
Presentation design focuses on finding ways to make the presentation more visually appealing and easy to process, as it is often an important tool for communicating a message. It involves using design principles like color, hierarchy, white space, contrast, and visual flow to create an effective communication piece.
Creating an effective presentation design is important for delivering your message efficiently and leaving a memorable impact on your audience. Most of all, you want your presentation design to support your topic and make it easier to understand and digest. A great presentation design guides the viewer through your presentation and highlights its essential aspects.

Types of presentations
When creating a presentation design, you have to keep in mind several types of presentations that shape the initial design you want to have. Depending on your presentation type, you’ll want to match it with a fitting presentation design.
1. Informative
An informative presentation provides the audience with facts and data to educate them on a certain subject matter. This could be done through visual aids such as graphs, diagrams, and charts. In an informative presentation, you want to highlight data visualizations and make them more engaging with interactive features or animations. On Prezi Design, you can create different engaging data visualizations from line charts to interactive maps to showcase your data.
2. Instructive
Instructive presentations teach the audience something new. Whether it’s about science, business strategies, or culture, this type of presentation is meant to help people gain knowledge and understand a topic better.
With a focus on transmitting knowledge, your presentation design should incorporate a variety of visuals and easy-to-understand data visualizations. Most people are visual learners, so you’ll benefit from swapping text-based slides for more visually rich content.
3. Motivational
Motivational presentations try to inspire the audience by giving examples of successful projects, stories, or experiences. This type of presentation is often used in marketing or promotional events because it seeks to get the audience inspired and engaged with a product or service. That’s why the presentation design needs to capture and hold the attention of your audience using a variety of animations and visuals. Go beyond plain images – include videos for a more immersive experience.
4. Persuasive
Persuasive presentations are designed to sway an audience with arguments that lead to an actionable decision (i.e., buy the product). Audiences learn facts and figures relevant to the point being made and explore possible solutions based on evidence provided during the speech or presentation.
In a persuasive presentation design, you need to capture your audience’s attention right away with compelling statistics wrapped up in interactive and engaging data visualizations. Also, the design needs to look and feel dynamic with smooth transitions and fitting visuals, like images, stickers, and GIFs.
To learn more about different types of presentations and how to structure them accordingly, read our article on presentation types .
How to design a presentation
When you first open a blank presentation page, you might need some inspiration to start creating your design. For this reason, we created a simple guide that’ll help you make your own presentation from scratch without headaches.
1. Opt for a motion-based presentation
You can make an outstanding presentation using Prezi Present, a software program that lets you create interactive presentations that capture your viewer’s attention. Prezi’s zooming feature allows you to add movement to your presentation and create smooth transitions. Prezi’s non-linear format allows you to jump between topics instead of flipping through slides, so your presentation feels more like a conversation than a speech. A motion-based presentation will elevate your content and ideas, and make it a much more engaging viewing experience for your audience.
Watch this video to learn how to make a Prezi presentation:
2. Create a structure & start writing content
Confidence is key in presenting. You can feel more confident going into your presentation if you structure your thoughts and plan what you will say. To do that, first, choose the purpose of your presentation before you structure it. There are four main types of presentations: informative, instructive, motivational, and persuasive. Think about the end goal of your presentation – what do you want your audience to do when you finish your presentation – and structure it accordingly.
Next, start writing the content of your presentation (script). We recommend using a storytelling framework, which will enable you to present a conflict and show what could be possible. In addition to creating compelling narratives for persuasive presentations, this framework is also effective for other types of presentations.
Tip: Keep your audience in mind. If you’re presenting a data-driven report to someone new to the field or from a different department, don’t use a lot of technical jargon if you don’t know their knowledge base and/or point of view.
3. Research & analyze
Knowing your topic inside and out will make you feel more confident going into your presentation. That’s why it’s important to take the time to understand your topic fully. In return, you’ll be able to answer questions on the fly and get yourself back on track even if you forget what you were going to say when presenting. In case you have extra time at the end of your presentation, you can also provide more information for your audience and really showcase your expertise. For comprehensive research, turn to the internet, and library, and reach out to experts if possible.
4. Get to design
Keeping your audience engaged and interested in your topic depends on the design of your presentation.
Now that you’ve done your research and have a proper presentation structure in place, it’s time to visualize it.
4.1. Presentation design layout
What you want to do is use your presentation structure as a presentation design layout. Apply the structure to how you want to tell your story and think about how each point will lead to the next one. Now you can either choose to use one of Prezi’s pre-designed templates that resemble your presentation structure the most or start to add topics on your canvas as you go.
Tip: When adding content, visualize the relation between topics by using visual hierarchy – hide smaller topics within larger themes or use the zooming feature to zoom in and out of supplementary topics or details that connect to the larger story you’re telling.
4.2. Color scheme
Now it’s time to choose your color scheme to give a certain look and feel to your presentation. Make sure to use contrasting colors to clearly separate text from the background, and use a maximum of 2 to 3 dominating colors to avoid an overwhelming presentation design.
4.2. Content (visuals + text)
Add content that you want to highlight in your presentation. Select from a wide range of images, stickers, GIFs, videos, data visualizations, and more from the content library, or upload your own. To provide more context, add short-format text, like bullet points or headlines that spotlight the major themes, topics, and ideas in your presentation.
Also, here you’ll want to make a final decision on your font choice. Select a font that’s easy to read and goes well with your brand and topic.
Tip: Be careful not to turn your presentation into a script. Only display text that holds significant value – expand on the ideas when presenting.
4.3. Transitions
Last but not least, bring your presentation design to life by adding smooth, attractive, and engaging transitions that take the viewer from one topic to another without disrupting the narrative.
On Prezi, you can choose from a range of transitions that take you into the story world and provide an immersive presentation experience for your audience.
5. Practice your delivery
Even with a great presentation design, how you deliver it is crucial in leaving an impression. Practice your presentation’s timing to become familiar with the rhythm and pace. It might help to record yourself to pinpoint areas for enhancement. Practicing in front of a friend or family member can also offer insights. Keep in mind the more you rehearse, the more self-assured and at ease you’ll be when giving the presentation.
6. Engage your audience
Engaging with your audience can enhance the impact of your presentation. You could prompt discussions, invite participation, or incorporate features such as surveys or puzzles. For instance, when introducing a marketing plan you could kick off with a survey to assess how well the audience grasps the subject. This boosts interactivity in your presentation and also fosters a connection with your listeners and sustains their interest throughout.
7. Use storytelling techniques
Using stories can be a way to captivate your audience and ensure that your message sticks with them. When creating a presentation, consider incorporating a narrative structure that incorporates a beginning, middle, and end. For example, when outlining a business strategy, kick off with a story that highlights a challenge in need of resolution. Then delve into your proposed solution before illustrating the results that can be achieved. This storytelling approach can foster a connection with your audience and enhance their grasp of the main ideas you’re conveying.
8. Prepare for technical difficulties
It’s common to encounter glitches, so being ready is key. Make sure you have a strategy in place if things go south during your presentation. For instance, store your presentation on devices like a USB drive and online storage, and keep hard copies of important slides handy. Also, get acquainted with the equipment and software you’ll use for the presentation. Planning ahead for any issues can help you navigate them smoothly and maintain the flow of your presentation.
9. Include high-quality visuals
Good visuals play a role in the success of your presentation. Incorporate top-notch pictures, graphics,3 and videos to ensure your slides are visually captivating and interesting. Steer clear of using low-quality images that may come off as pixelated and amateurish. When presenting data, think about using charts or infographics to present the information clearly. Prezi provides access to a selection of high-quality visuals that can elevate the design impact of your presentation.
10. Be unique
It’s crucial to make sure your design is original to set yourself apart from the crowd. If you’re a student, aim to craft a presentation that showcases your flair and avoid imitating others. This approach helps you differentiate yourself and ensures that your work is more memorable. In the business field, make sure that your design elements, such as colors, fonts, and overall aesthetics are different from those used by similar companies. Steer clear of templates that might give your presentation a generic feel. By developing a unique design, you establish your identity and leave a lasting impact on your audience.

Presentation design tips
When it comes to presentations, design is key. A well-designed presentation can communicate your ideas clearly and engage your audience, while a poorly designed one can do the opposite.
To ensure your presentation is designed for success, note the following presentation design tips that’ll help you design better presentations that wow your audience.
1. Keep it simple
Too many elements on a slide can be overwhelming and distract from your message. While you want your content to be visually compelling, don’t let the design of the presentation get in the way of communicating your ideas. Presentation design elements need to elevate your message instead of overshadowing it.
2. Use contrasting text colors
Draw attention to important points with contrasted text colors. Instead of using bold or italics, use a contrasting color in your chosen palette to emphasize the text.
3. Be clear and concise
Avoid writing long paragraphs that are difficult to read. Limit paragraphs and sections of text for optimum readability.
4. Make sure your slide deck is visually appealing
Use high-quality images and graphics, and limit the use of text to only the most important information. For engaging and diverse visuals, go to Prezi’s content library and discover a wide range of stock images, GIFs, stickers, and more.
5. Pay attention to detail
Small details like font choice and alignments can make a big difference in how professional and polished your presentation looks. Make sure to pay attention to image and text size, image alignment with text, font choice, background color, and more details that create the overall look of your presentation.
6. Use templates sparingly
While templates can help create a consistent look for your slides, overusing them can make your presentation look generic and boring. Use them for inspiration but don’t be afraid to mix things up with some custom designs as well.
7. Design for clarity
Create a presentation layout that is easy to use and navigate, with clear labels and instructions. This is important for ensuring people can find the information they need quickly and easily if you end up sharing your presentation with others.
8. Opt for a conversational presentation design
Conversational presenting allows you to adjust your presentation on the fly to make it more relevant and engaging. Create a map-like arrangement that’ll encourage you to move through your presentation at your own pace. With a map-like design, each presentation will be customized to match different audiences’ needs. This can be helpful for people who have different levels of expertise or knowledge about the subject matter.
9. Be consistent
Design consistency holds your presentation together and makes it easy to read and navigate. Create consistency by repeating colors, fonts, and design elements that clearly distinguish your presentation from others.
10. Have context in mind
A great presentation design is always dependent on the context. Your audience and objective influence everything from color scheme to fonts and use of imagery. Make sure to always have your audience in mind when designing your presentations.
11. Use white space effectively
In slide design, whitespace, also known as negative space, refers to the areas surrounding elements. It plays a role in decluttering your slides, enhancing readability, and directing focus towards content. Utilizing whitespace results in a sophisticated appearance for your slides. Remember, simplicity is key – avoid overwhelming your audience with information on each slide.
12. Incorporate visual hierarchy
When it comes to visuals, the key is to organize elements in a manner that naturally directs the viewer’s attention towards the crucial parts of the presentation. Utilize variations in size, color, and positioning to establish a flow for the viewer to navigate through. For instance, opt for fonts to highlight headings, colors for significant points, and position essential elements at the top of the slide. These tactics aid in ensuring that your audience grasps the ideas promptly and effortlessly.

Short answer
What makes a good presentation.
A good presentation deck excels with a clear, engaging narrative, weaving information into a compelling story. It combines concise, relevant content with visually appealing design to ensure simplicity and impact.
Personalizing the story to resonate with the audience's interests also enhances engagement and understanding.
Let’s face it - most slides are not interesting - are yours?
We've all been there—trapped in a never-ending session of mind-numbing slides, with no hope in sight. It's called "Death by PowerPoint," and it's the silent killer of enthusiasm and engagement. But fear not! You're a short way from escaping this bleak fate.
We've curated perfect presentation examples, crafted to captivate and inspire., They will transform your slides from yawn-inducing to jaw-dropping. And they’re all instantly usable as templates.
Prepare to wow your audience, command the room, and leave them begging for more!
What makes a bad presentation?
We've all sat through them, the cringe-worthy presentations that make us want to reach for our phones or run for the hills. But what exactly pushes a presentation from mediocre to downright unbearable? Let's break it down:
Lack of clarity: When the presenter's message is buried in a heap of confusing jargon or irrelevant details, it's hard to stay focused.
Poor visuals: Low-quality or irrelevant images can be distracting and fail to support the main points.
Overloaded slides: Too much text or clutter on a slide is overwhelming and makes it difficult to grasp the key ideas.
Monotonous delivery: A presenter who drones on without variation in tone or pace can quickly put their audience to sleep.
No connection: Failing to engage with the audience or tailor the presentation to their needs creates a disconnect that stifles interest.
What makes an exceptional presentation?
A clear structure set within a story or narrative: Humans think in stories. We relate to stories and we remember stories, it’s in our genes. A message without a story is like a cart full of goods with no wheels.
Priority and hierarchy of information: Attention is limited, you won’t have your audience forever, 32% of readers bounce in the first 15 seconds and most don’t make it past the 3rd slide. Make your first words count. They will determine whether your audience sticks around to hear the rest.
Interactive content: Like 99% of us, you’ve learned that presentation = PowerPoint. But that’s the past, my friend. PowerPoint is inherently static, and while static slides can be really beautiful, they are all too often really boring. Interactive slides get the readers involved in the presentation which makes it much more enjoyable.
Wanna see the actual difference between static and interactive slides? Here’s an example. Which one would you lean into?

Best presentation content examples
The secret sauce for a business presentation that leaves a lasting impression lies in delivering your content within a story framework.
3 presentation content examples that captivate and inspire the audience:
1. Inspirational story:
An emotional, relatable story can move hearts and change minds. Share a personal anecdote, a customer success story, or an account of overcoming adversity to create a deep connection with your audience.
Remember, vulnerability and authenticity can be your greatest assets.
2. Mystery - Gap theory:
Keep your audience on the edge of their seats by building suspense through the gap theory. Start by presenting a problem, a puzzle, or a question that leaves them craving the answer. Gradually reveal the solution, creating anticipation and excitement as you guide them through the resolution.
3. The Hero's Journey:
Transform your presentation into an epic adventure by incorporating the classic hero's journey narrative.
Introduce a "hero" (your audience), and introduce yourself or your company as a “guide” that will take them on a transformative journey filled with challenges, lessons, and triumphs.
This powerful storytelling structure helps your audience relate to your message and stay engaged from start to finish.
Here’s a great video on how to structure an effective sales story:
Best presentation document formats
Selecting the right format for your business presentation plays a huge part in getting or losing engagement. Let's explore popular presentation document formats, each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages.
PowerPoint : Microsoft's PowerPoint is a tried-and-true classic, offering a wide array of design options and features for crafting visually appealing static presentations.
Google Slides : For seamless collaboration and real-time editing, Google Slides is the go-to choice. This cloud-based platform allows you to create static presentations that are accessible from anywhere.
Keynote : Apple's Keynote offers a sleek, user-friendly interface and stunning design templates, making it a popular choice for crafting polished static presentations on Mac devices.
PDF: PDF is ideal for sharing static presentations that preserve their original layout, design, and fonts across different devices and operating systems.
Prezi : Break free from traditional slide-based presentations with Prezi's dynamic, zoomable canvas. Prezi allows you to create interactive decks, but it follows a non-chronological presentation format, so it may take some time to get the hang of it.
Storydoc : Elevate your presentations with Storydoc's interactive, web-based format. Transform your static content into immersive, visually rich experiences that captivate and inspire your audience.
Best tool to create a perfect presentation
There are countless presentation software options. From legacy tools like PowerPoint or Google Slides to more modern design tools such as Pitch or Canva.
If you want to create pretty presentations any of these tools would do just fine. But if you want to create unforgettable, interactive experiences , you may want to consider using the Storydoc interactive presentation maker instead.
Storydoc specializes in storytelling. You get special storytelling slides built to help you weave your content into a compelling narrative.
You can do better than “pretty” - you can make a presentation that engages, motivates and sticks.

This article will guide you in the concept of branded presentations, differentiating them from brand identity in presentations and exploring the essential elements to secure their maximum potential. Additionally, we provide a list of ready-made PowerPoint templates to make your design job easier.

What is a Branded Presentation?
What is the difference between brand presentation and brand identity presentation, elements of a brand presentation, how to create a brand presentation slide by slide, tips for creating an effective branded presentation, recommended brand presentation powerpoint templates, final words.
A branded presentation is a customized set of PowerPoint slides that reflect a company’s unique design style and visual identity. This means that the presentation includes specific elements that are consistent with the company’s branding guidelines. These elements often encompass the company’s logo, brand colors, fonts, photography style, and other graphical elements that are part of the company’s visual identity.
Branded presentations are required tools for an efficient communication plan in any business or organization, considering both internal and external communications. By incorporating the visual elements that define the brand, these presentations help maintain a cohesive brand image, reinforcing brand awareness.
Although brand presentation and brand identity presentations are terms used interchangeably, there are considerable differences between them as they are used in their respective contexts.
Brand Presentation
A brand presentation communicates various business-related information, such as project updates, sales reports, marketing strategies, and more. It is tailored to fit the specific message and audience of the presentation while ensuring that all visual elements adhere to the company’s branding guidelines. The focus is on the presentation’s content, with the branding elements providing a consistent and professional backdrop.
Brand Identity Presentation
On the other hand, a brand identity presentation is specifically designed to introduce and explain the elements of a company’s brand identity. This type of presentation is often used during brand rollouts, rebranding efforts, or to onboard new employees and partners. It provides a comprehensive overview of the brand’s visual and verbal identity, including the logo (read our article on logo presentation for more insights), color palette, typography , imagery, tone of voice, and brand values . The goal is to educate and align all stakeholders on the brand’s look and feel, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints.
Bonus tip: Check our guide on color theory to learn how to create harmonic color palettes for your brand identity presentation.
The following elements must be included in any brand deck.
The company’s logo should be prominently displayed on each slide. There are multiple methods to accomplish that: a footer, a watermark logo, a small logo at the top-right corner of the slide, etc.
Using a logo in a slide deck helps to immediately associate the presentation with a company or organization.
Brand Colors
When creating the slides, the use of the company’s color palette must be considered to maintain a consistent aesthetic and integrate the logo as a natural element.
Presenters can use different color schemes if the logo is monochromatic or harmonious palettes in case we count with a pre-established color selection. To create a unified look, these colors should be used for backgrounds, text, and graphical elements.
Have you ever heard the phrase “less is more”? Certainly, this applies to the use of fonts in your presentation slides. A branding presentation must work with the same typefaces selected for the logo or with options defined at the brand identity stage.
As a general rule, never use more than three different typefaces or more than three font weights in the same slide deck.
Imagery Style
One aspect that defines a professional brand aesthetic is to count with images or photos in the same style across slides. If you work with photos, then stick to similar editing settings. If you opt for illustrations, then continue using illustrations across the branded slides.
Another example is mixing black-and-white images with fully colored images. As a rule, you should use the same color scheme across your images.
Graphical Elements
Icons, graphs, patterns, charts, shapes, and any other graphical element. On this behalf, you can find fine examples of what to include in these categories:
- Brand Strategy PowerPoint templates
- Brand Awareness templates
- Brand Management templates
While primarily visual, the tone of voice in any text or spoken elements should also reflect the brand’s personality and values. Avoid unnecessary jargon and changes between active and passive voice.
Creating a branded presentation is fairly easy once you master the steps. The core structure remains the same, but the body slides can be changed depending on the requirements of your presentation.
Title Slide
This slide sets the tone for the entire presentation. In a few words, it’s your introduction card.
The company logo should be prominently displayed but in a subtle way so it doesn’t compete with the text. The presentation title must use the brand’s font and color scheme, including a subtitle with a lighter font weight version of the brand’s font. Format the date and presenter’s name so that it can be easy to edit if the slide deck has to be repurposed.
Agenda Slide
The agenda slide serves to outline the main points to be covered in the presentation, hence giving the audience a clear understanding of what to expect. You can use the brand’s accent colors to highlight each point of the talk or creative PPT icons to bring attention.
Introduction Slide
Like any other presentation, you need to introduce the purpose and context. A branded presentation would take into account the imagery style, color palette, typefaces, and logo placement.
Body Slides
Depending on the kind of presentation you’re building, the structure of the slides will vary. Since consistent logo placement is a must in branded presentations, in our experience, it’s best to stick with the top-right corner or footer as a potential position for it. If you opt for the latter, be sure to place the logo at the opposite corner of the slide number indicator. Keep in mind you don’t have to add the logo to all slides, as that’s overwhelming for the viewer.
Charts and graphs have to bear the same color palette designated for the brand identity or directly contrasting colors in case we work with a monochromatic scheme. One useful concept to master is the brand essence wheel , as it can help us curate which content is relevant for our presentation, depending on the context.
Conclusion Slide
When defining how to end a presentation , presenters summarize the core concepts disclosed in the presentation and use call-to-actions to elicit a response from the audience. The text should be kept concise and focused, using the brand’s accent colors for the call to action button or graphics.
Tip #1 – Start with a Template
Working with professionally-designed PowerPoint templates cuts down the branded slides creation process by over 200%. Not only do you not have to worry about color pairing or font pairing choices, but you also ensure that a consistent look is going to be used across all slides in your deck. In case you don’t find a template that bears the same colors as your branding, you can easily customize it in both PowerPoint or Google Slides.
Tip #2 – Leverage Social Proof
Incorporate testimonials, client logos, and case studies that reflect your brand’s credibility. This is of particular interest in scenarios like business pitches or sales presentations, where your reputation is the one key factor that can make or break a deal.
Tip #3 – Incorporate Motion Graphics
Not all presentations have to bear a boring, old-school 2D look. Using branded motion graphics or animations is a great method to engage your audience and explain complex concepts in a more dynamic format.
Tip #4 – Negative Space is Your Friend
Don’t overload slides with tons of content to show how much you know about a topic. A presenter who mastered the art of communication is well aware that less is more, so learn how to effectively use negative space to make the slides look clean. Focus on emphasizing key content rather than populating slides on the go.
Tip #5 – About Your Backgrounds
Use simple, branded backgrounds to focus the attention on the content, not the graphics. Gradient effects can be used as long as they remain subtle.
Tip #6 – Test for Accessibility
A point to take into account, especially for company-wide presentations, is to check for high-contrast colors, readable fonts, and alt text for images. Considering accessibility for your presentations is a must these days if you care about your attendees and the experience they get out of your content.
Tip #7 – Logo Placement
Unlike what most people think, your logo doesn’t need to be shown on every single slide. In fact, that’s a bad practice as you overcrowd the slides with content. It’s a very different scenario if we talk about academic presentations where the slides may be repurposed for educational content – thus, your branding is important in terms of intellectual property. Once again, for most cases, placing your logo every 3-4 slides is good and plenty.

6 PowerPoint Presentation Ideas to Better Engage Audiences
A PowerPoint presentation can be a valuable medium for conveying information. It is an ideal visual companion and it can break down complex ideas into digestible slides. However, this versatile tool has a bad reputation. People are quick to call PowerPoints boring, with some going so far as to say they are reviled .
This PowerPoint disdain has led countless presenters to try to jazz them up. They add memes to each page, include funny videos or gifs, and build jokes into the content. While this might work for some presentations, not every deck is meme-able.
Fortunately, you can elevate your PowerPoint presentations without crossing the line of unprofessionalism. It’s time to take your decks to the next level. Here are six PowerPoint presentation ideas to increase engagement and retention.
Ditch pre-made templates and use color theory instead
One of the first mistakes you can make is to use pre-made templates for your PowerPoint presentations. Many templates use cool colors and are designed for professional meetings and conferences. You can certainly use these templates as a starting point, but play with your color options to make them more engaging.
Color psychology is the study of how different shades and hues make people feel. Research shows that color choice can increase awareness and recognition by up to 80%. This means the colors you choose for your PowerPoint can impact how people engage with the information.
Consider using splashes of orange with blue, green, or purple secondary colors. Orange is the color of energy and confidence. You can use online color wheels to find complementary colors so your text isn’t washed out.
Embracing color psychology can help you use text shades and backgrounds that emphasize important information so it stands out.
Return to your middle school essay roots
When students first learn how to write essays, they are taught to write an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement, three paragraphs defending the statement, and a summarizing conclusion. You can return to this format in your PowerPoint presentation. No matter how involved or in-depth your slides are, your audience should always be able to tie the content back to the main idea. Here’s how to do this:
- Start your presentation with a big idea. This is the main thing you expect your audience to get out of the discussion.
- Add one idea per slide. Think of each slide as its own paragraph and only discuss one idea at a time.
- Tie each idea to your main thesis statement. Reinforce your main idea by highlighting how each supporting point, chart, or graphic proves your point.
Audiences like knowing what will be covered in a presentation. Following this format will help them know what to expect from your slides. You can also create a Table of Contents page after your thesis so your audience knows how many points to expect.
Tap into prior knowledge
Prior knowledge is foundational information the audience had before they attended your presentation. Introducing information already known before diving into new insights can help people understand your message while increasing their chances of remembering it. Here is why it works:
- Your audience will feel more confident when learning difficult concepts because they already have the foundational knowledge to understand the material.
- Prior knowledge is part of the long-term memory. Tapping into this part of the brain allows you to connect your current message to these saved ideas. This increases retention compared to storing information in the short-term memory .
- You can emphasize your points by tying them to prior knowledge. Your audience is less likely to challenge something they already consider a fact.
Using prior knowledge can be valuable whether you are trying to persuade your audience or teach them new information. You can strategically share new and existing ideas in a single presentation.
Create opportunities for interaction
The next step to make your PowerPoint more engaging is to create breaks for interaction and audience input. Many PowerPoint presentation ideas focus on adding fun videos or cartoons, but that isn’t always recommended in professional settings. Fortunately, there are other ways to interact with your audience.
Consider adding slides where your audience members respond to polls or answer trivia questions about the content. For example, you can gauge what percentage of the audience understands a particular concept before discussing it. If a large percentage of your audience isn’t familiar with the idea, you can spend more time reviewing it. If they are already familiar, you can move through the concept quickly.
Poll Everywhere is a great tool to embed into your PowerPoint or Google Slide presentations. Along with polls and surveys, you can create Word Clouds that your audience members help build. These interactive tools are great for tapping into prior knowledge before you share new information on the next slide.
Control how you answer audience questions
Your audience will likely have questions about various concepts and ideas discussed during your presentation. However, it can be distracting and time-consuming to stop your presentation every few minutes to address these questions. In a worst-case scenario, audience members will interrupt your flow with their thoughts or concerns.
Take control of audience questions by letting people submit queries digitally. This is another opportunity to incorporate Poll Everywhere into your slides. Using a Pinned Q&A Activity allows you to present other Activities while keeping the Q&A open at all times. Audience members can submit questions during the presentation without disrupting and you can review them digitally. You might address a question in between slides or hold all queries until the end. Test out both options and see what works best for you.
Make your PowerPoint understandable to those not in attendance
Many of the PowerPoint presentation ideas in this guide focused on making the content more engaging for your audience, but you also want to think long-term when evaluating who will look at these presentations. One common mistake presenters make is using PowerPoint slides as exclusively visual tools. They will share a graph or image but won’t provide any context about it.
When you create your PowerPoint, design the slides so someone who missed the presentation could get the gist of the information. Trust that your audience will read the PowerPoint slides on their own but then turn to you for in-depth discussions and debates about the information.
Following this best practice can also make your presentation more engaging. You can review each PowerPoint slide and then have a discussion with your audience that reinforces the point you are trying to make.
Try Poll Everywhere to use these PowerPoint presentation ideas
These PowerPoint presentation ideas can give you a set of best practices that turn even the most boring or confusing concepts into clear ideas. You can better organize your slides, make key messages stand out, and tap into prior knowledge by engaging audiences with polls or surveys. Small changes add up and can affect how people engage with – and remember – your slides.
If you are ready to change up your PowerPoint presentations, try Poll Everywhere . There are eight main Activity types that you can integrate into your PowerPoint and Google slides, Poll Everywhere can engage your audience through almost any presentation.
