I always laugh at the 'big agency' 200 slide PowerPoint decks. And I always brag to clients and potential clients, that 'we don't do PowerPoint decks.'
And we don't - at least not in the big agency way. But we do write the occasional presentation. As I'm writing a small presentation for a meeting on Friday, (ok, I'm supposed to be writing a ppt, but I'm reading blogs instead), I come across Jon Howard's post about ditching PowerPoint. The agency where he works, Quiet Storm, shares the same philosophy.
They recently pitched some new business in a completely different way. Without PowerPoint. Hooray. (They didn't win the account - but he swears it wasn't the presentation.) I believe him.
He even found the ever so appropriate Gaping Void illustration, pictured above. (I'm pretty sure they knew it was a cartoon, and that there were no pants dropped in front of their clients.)
And now I'm off to finish that ppt.

I'm so with you on this -maybe we need to form a Powerpoint Liberation Front, complete with manifestos and t-shirts?
Hehe. That's great. The PLF. I'm in.
Can I do recon & demolition?
Whenever somebody asks me for one I get all "Me don't speaky English" on them. Its stupid but in 13 years I've never had to make/edit/watch one....
