Powerpoint slides get busy enough without your adding your corporate background and logo.
So why do you do it?
It’s bad enough when a client insists I write reports in Powerpoint instead of Word, thus forcing me to jam information into a highly restricted space, but I have worked for clients where as much as 25% of the slide space is taken up with branding.
The first slide is the only appropriate place for all the corporate badgery.
Do you know why?
- Because your audience is all that matters when you deliver a presentation and your audience does not care about the corporate badgery.
- Because CONTENT is what matters in a presentation, not visually-distracting, space-taking corporate egotism.
There is only one exception to this rule:
- When you are presenting to the corporate branding team responsible for all this nonsense, then fill each slide with nothing but livery. It will serve them right.
I refer you now to my friend, presenting mentor, and all-round Magnificent chap, Rowan Manahan.
*LOL*. Those screenshots are hilarious!
I dare you to use them as Xmas cards for your colleagues!
