How it works

A strong presentation doesn't happen by chance. It's the result of a thoughtful approach where content, design and technique come together.

Our approach: how we make your presentation strong and convincing

At Smartpresentations we guide you from idea to end result. We make sure your presentation isn't only well-built, but can also be delivered in a visually strong and convincing way.
We support you on three levels:
Storyline
A clear and convincing story
Design
Visual support that makes an impact
PowerPoint
Smart technical execution
We also help you deliver your presentation strongly, for example through coaching on timing, intonation and use of the slides.

The foundation of every strong presentation

Storyline

A presentation starts with a good story. We bring structure to your content and ensure a clear build-up that takes your audience's attention into account.
A strong storyline ensures that:
  • your message comes across clearly
  • your audience is with you in your story
  • the right elements stick

Design

The design makes sure your story really lands. We translate your message into visual slides that support and strengthen it.
A good design:
  • makes complex information easier to understand
  • increases the impact of your message
  • creates recognisability and professionalism
We avoid “PowerPointiness” and create a calm, strong visual style.

PowerPoint

PowerPoint is more than a slide program. We use PowerPoint's capabilities (animations, transitions, interactivity, …) in a thoughtful way.
The goal:
  • to support your story
  • to make your presentation flow better
  • to create extra impact where needed
Voor het maken van de presentaties hebben we een heel specifiek proces. Of het nu snel moet gaan of als we wat meer tijd hebben. Fases, goedkeuringen en de juiste tools voor een heldere communicatie.

Our approach step by step

To work efficiently and in a structured way, we follow a clear step-by-step plan:
1
Gathering information
We start by gathering existing materials: presentations, documents, brand guidelines, imagery, … This gives us insight into your organisation and way of communicating.
2
Project kick-off
Once the quote is approved, we set up the project and determine the schedule. You get access to our project platform with a clear overview of progress and communication.
3
Kick-off meeting
During this session we bring everything together:
  • purpose and use of the presentation
  • content expectations
  • visual preferences and style
  • timing and deadline
4
Storyboard
We translate the input into a first structure of the presentation. This is the foundation of your story and forms the common thread throughout all the slides.
5
Design proposal
We develop a first visual proposal based on your brand. This gives you a concrete picture of how the presentation will look.
6
Approval
After your feedback and approval on structure and design, we start the full development.
7
Development of the presentation
A specialised designer develops the full presentation, slide by slide. Where needed, we provide placeholders for missing content.
8
Feedback and optimisation
Through a handy online tool you can easily give feedback. We process it step by step until everything is exactly right.
9
Delivery
After the final corrections, we deliver the finished presentation. If needed, we also produce other language versions.
10
Training and use
We explain how the presentation works, especially for interactive presentations. That way you get the most out of its structure and possibilities. You can also count on further support through updates or adjustments.
We also help you deliver your presentation strongly, for example through coaching on timing, intonation and use of the slides.

From presentation to real impact

A good presentation doesn't stop at nice slides. It's about the combination of content, form and how you deliver it.
That's why we make sure that every company, pitch, keynote or sales presentation is not only professional, but also sticks with your audience.

A strong presentation starts with a good conversation.

Book a kick-off and we'll talk about your presentation.

Q&A

Answers to your most pressing questions

How does a collaboration with Smartpresentations work?

We start with a kick-off meeting to discuss your objectives, audience and style. Then we build step by step on structure, design and technical development, with enough feedback moments in between.

How quickly can you deliver a presentation?

That depends on the size and complexity of the project. For urgent assignments we move quickly and look together for a workable timeline. We always communicate transparently about timing.

Can I continue working on the presentation myself afterwards?

Absolutely. You receive a fully editable PowerPoint file with which you can easily adjust content or add slides yourself afterwards.

What makes Smartpresentations different from a traditional design agency?

We don't just design slides, we think along about your message, target audience and story. The combination of storytelling, design and PowerPoint expertise is unique and is reflected in every end result.
