Like double edged swords, blind dates, and nuclear power plants, either a PowerPoint presentation can go really well and make you look totally awesome or it can completely suck and be the scourge of your existence. If you’re a savvy panda you’re no doubt aware that there are certain flaws in presentation design which can wreck an otherwise perfectly good slide presentation. In case you’re well-versed in the do’s of presentation design but need some reinforcement about the don’ts to make sure you don’t screw up an otherwise perfect presentation, here are FIVE PRESENTATION DESIGN TIPS to remember the next time you create a presentation.

Most projects, presentations or initiatives are driven by facts and features the team believes will help them deliver a product or message. While facts and data are important for setting the stage and communicating goals, they’re rarely what persuades an audience or gets them to take action. In this workshop, you will learn how to use that connection, by teaching basic skills in visual thinking and storytelling that will that transform projects and initiate action.

How NOT to Run Your Company – Lessons Learned

Weekdone.com

The Internet is full of articles on „How to succeed“ and „How to build a great company“ But while following those guidelines we often forget that there's a lot you just can't do. Learning from your own mistakes is good, but it's even better when you can learn from the mistakes of others. Everyone's favorite billionaire and Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has said “Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.” Enjoy the slides and a sense of humor is advised.

How I got 2.5 Million views on Slideshare (by @nickdemey - Board of Innovation)

Board of Innovation

This is the talk I gave January 12, 2017 at the G20/OECD Conference on the Digital Future in Berlin. I talk about fitness landscapes as applied to technology and business, the role of unchecked financialization in the state of our politics and economy, and why technology really wants to create jobs, not destroy them. (There is a separate PDF version, but some readers said the notes were too fuzzy to read.)

Wrike

https://www.wrike.com/blog - We surveyed creative teams to discover their biggest challenges and bottlenecks, from conception to completion.

10 Classic Growth Hacks: Hints at the Future of Marketing

Ryan Holiday

Adapted from "Growth Hacker Marketing: A Primer on the Future of PR, Marketing, and Advertising" by Ryan Holiday. http://www.amazon.com/Growth-Hacker-Marketing-Primer-Advertising/dp/1591847389/ryanholnet-20 "Everything you thought you knew about marketing is obsolete. We can see the incontrovertible evidence right in front of us. A new generation of multibillion dollar brands—Facebook, Twitter, AirBnb, Evernote, and countless others—have been built without spending a dime on traditional marketing techniques. No press releases, no PR firm, no Madison Avenue, no billboards in Times Square. It wasn’t luck that took them from tiny start-ups to massive success. They have a new strategy. It’s called Growth Hacking. And it works. A Growth Hacker is someone who rejects what “marketing” is supposed to be and replaces it only with tools that are testable, trackable, and scalable. Growth Hackers rely on inexpensive tactics like e-mail, pay-per-click ads, blogs, and platform APIs. They chase real results in a field that was dominated by gut instincts for nearly a century. They reject the traditional marketing worship of all things big: big budgets, big campaigns, big opening weekends. Instead, they embrace the opposite: taking a start-up from nothing to something, launching a Kickstarter project, building something that truly spreads. Growth Hacker Marketing offers both a new mindset and a new set of rules. Bestselling author Ryan Holiday, the former director of marketing for American Apparel, will convince you of the urgency of this awakening. He shows why the game has changed forever and what to do about it—whether you are an aspiring marketer, an entrepreneur, or a Fortune 500 senior executive."

The Science of Story: How Brands Can Use Storytelling To Get More Customers

Digital Surgeons

Storytelling is not only an entertaining source for information, but a way to engage and humanize our messages that helps them stick. Our brains are wired for stories. Like a drug, we seek them out. Good stories create lasting emotional connections that persuade, educate, entertain, and convert consumers into brand loyalists. Here’s another good reason to believe in the power of stories: You don't have a goddamn choice. We spend a third of our waking hours crafting stories, and the rest of the time consuming them. Our brains are always searching for stories. You need stories. You live your life around stories. Your life itself is a story. So, now find out how you can use them to better understand how brands and businesses can use storytelling to increase engagement and sales.

The power of creative collaboration

Table19

Here at Table19, we believe that great work is only possible when clients and their agencies work together as a team. This is a presentation written by our Executive Creative Director Graham Wall, who on his first day in this industry heard the senior team he was shadowing say something he couldn’t understand: that the client had bought the wrong idea. This set in motion a desire to understand how and why this had happened, and make sure it never happened again. This presentation details Graham’s learnings and philosophies, and shows how agencies and clients can create better work together.

Stephen King, JWT Planning Guide, March 1974

Lucio Ribeiro

I recently came across a great place to start. A guide to marketing written in 1974 that, incredibly, is just as fresh, vibrant and applicable in 2018. Stephen King is the godfather of modern strategic planning, or ‘account planning’ as it was referred to then. This guide was created to help others in ’70s JWT understand the process of marketing and brand building. The document was typed out and photocopied, and has resurfaced in the last few years. It’s eerily accurate and still incredibly applicable to the modern problems brands face.

The Great State of Design with CSS Grid Layout and Friends

Stacy Kvernmo

For far too long we've been forced to reuse layout patterns that have worked in the past, creating a web full of sites that all look the same. Narrow timelines, browser support restrictions and lack of a true grid system have led us to create work that is "good enough". I've spent years exploring how we can make the web a more unique space. With some of the newer CSS techniques available, we can start to make more creative designs. CSS Grid Layout is on the horizon and will play a major role in the design of our sites. Finally having a true, 2 dimensional grid will give our layouts much more flexibility and it is on us to explore the possibilities. This talk was presented at CSS Day 2016.

How a Strong Brand Boosts B2B Demand

In this presentation you’ll learn: - How your brand can boost demand generation and other key performance indicators - The elements of a B2B brand and how those are different from traditional consumer branding - How to elevate your brand through B2B marketing channels and brand advocates - Metrics to track the impact of your brand
