Presentation work doesn't always arrive at a convenient time.
A client suddenly needs a pitch deck. A proposal needs to go out this week. An account team needs a presentation redesigned before an important meeting. Meanwhile, your internal designers already have full workloads.
For creative and marketing agencies, presentation design can become a recurring production challenge.
Outsourcing that work to a specialist presentation design partner gives your agency additional capacity when you need it—without needing to permanently expand your internal team.
Presentation design support built for agencies
Agencies work with presentations in many different forms.
One client might need a corporate deck. Another needs a sales presentation. The next project could involve an event presentation, proposal, pitch deck, or reusable PowerPoint template.
At Sligge, we provide presentation design support for creative, marketing, branding, communications, and consulting teams that need additional design capacity.
This can include:
- Client presentations
- Sales decks
- Pitch decks
- Business proposals
- Marketing presentations
- Corporate presentations
- PowerPoint templates
- Presentation redesign
- Data visualization
- Charts and infographics
- Executive presentations
You manage the client relationship and creative direction. We help handle the presentation design work behind the scenes.
Why agencies outsource presentation design
Presentation projects can be difficult to predict.
You may go several weeks without needing additional presentation capacity and then suddenly receive multiple urgent decks at once.
Hiring another permanent designer isn't always practical for fluctuating workloads.
Outsourcing gives agencies a more flexible option.
When your internal team has enough capacity, they can handle the work. When workloads increase or a presentation-heavy project arrives, an external presentation design partner can step in.
This can help your agency take on additional work without putting unnecessary pressure on the existing design team.
White-label presentation design
Sometimes you don't need another agency appearing in front of your client.
You simply need reliable production support.
Presentation design can be provided on a white-label basis, allowing your agency to maintain ownership of the client relationship while outsourcing some or all of the design execution.
Your team can provide the brief, brand assets, content, references, and creative direction.
We handle the presentation design according to those requirements.
The completed work can then be delivered back to your agency for review before it reaches the client.
Work within your client's brand
Agency presentation projects often involve multiple brands.
A deck for one client may need to feel highly corporate and restrained. Another might require bold typography, expressive imagery, and a much more creative visual system.
That's why presentation outsourcing shouldn't mean forcing every project into the same design style.
We can work with existing client brand guidelines, templates, fonts, colors, imagery, and visual systems to create presentations that fit naturally within each client's identity.
If an existing presentation style has already been established, new slides can be designed to match it.
Turn your creative direction into finished slides
Your agency may already know exactly how the presentation should look.
The challenge is simply finding enough time to execute it.
In that situation, you can provide references, rough layouts, wireframes, brand guidelines, or an existing deck, and we can help turn that direction into finished presentation slides.
This allows your creative team to retain control over the concept while outsourcing time-consuming presentation production.
Help with messy client content
Of course, clients don't always provide presentation-ready material.
You may receive a document, spreadsheet, old PowerPoint, collection of screenshots, or a deck containing far too much information.
Presentation design often involves turning that material into something visually manageable.
Content can be organized into clearer layouts, complicated information can be visualized, and inconsistent slides can be brought into a cohesive system.
The underlying message remains the client's, while the presentation becomes much easier to navigate.
Editable files for your agency and clients
Presentation deliverables need to remain practical.
Your account team may need to change a date. The client may want to update a number. A sales team may need to customize a slide before its next meeting.
For that reason, presentations can be delivered as editable PowerPoint files.
Your agency or client can continue using and updating the presentation after the initial project is complete.
For clients with ongoing presentation needs, we can also create reusable branded templates and slide systems.
Presentation support without increasing permanent headcount
The biggest advantage of outsourced presentation design is flexibility.
You don't need another full-time designer simply because you occasionally have more presentation work than your internal team can handle.
Instead, you can bring in additional capacity when projects require it.
That might mean support for a single urgent deck or an ongoing relationship where presentation work is sent whenever your team needs additional help.
Need extra presentation design capacity?
If your agency has presentation work coming in but your internal design team is already at capacity, Sligge can work behind the scenes as an extension of your team.
Send us the content, brief, brand guidelines, or existing presentation, and we'll help turn it into polished, client-ready slides.
Whether it's one deck or ongoing presentation support, you keep the client relationship—we help with the presentation design.
