Big debate in the office right now over Powerpoint presentations. Single words and a bunch of images from Flickr or blocks of type with a few words picked out. The beauty of the latter is not having to prepare a separate handout - however I do like the drama of a single word slide. Two examples below. The first (How brands are built) with loads of text per slide that somehow still works and another (The future of ...) a triumph of sparseness. Finally I have put a link to one of the best presentations on presentations I have seen in a long while.
few words many slides

Punk's not dead
October 16th, 2007

Robert and myself spent the morning in Derby talking with our new client the teenage fashion brand; Golddigga. A fantastic chance find of a pub for lunch was the Victoria Arms. Old school punk / metal live venue and seller of extremely well kept real ale. One room is lined with photos of the bands who’ve passed through, from the just before making it (Snow Patrol ‘03) to the ‘my god are they still playing?’ (UK Subs ’07 – how old is their singer Charlie Harper? – I was a teenage punk when i first met him at the London Lyceum during a Damned gig in 1979!)

Pitch
August 22nd, 2007
We had another pitch yesterday for a range of garden products. Philip came suitably attired – imagine this image all over a suit and that will give you an idea of what he was wearing!
Hopefully they won’t forget us then!

Where have all my friends gone?
August 14th, 2007

There are so many social networking sites around now and I am personally hooked on facebook, managing to waste away hours at a time wilfing around the site. There is now (hilariously) a new range of anti-facebook type sites, which ‘prevent stupid people contacting you’!!!

Fantastic – it was only a matter of time!

Effectiveness of online
June 15th, 2007
While the others ponced around like extras from ER (see below) I was adding to our collection of like minded clients (posh lingerie, plastic surgery) by opening up discussion's with a teenage fashion brand (!) We also have had further the discussions about effectiveness online. Kieron Matthews IAB's head of marketing has written a fab paper called "is branding best and are click throughs through?" Which ponders brand engagement as part of a wider campaign rather than being a slave to CTR.

Never a dull moment
Currently rather busy on the 7th floor, getting ready for a meeting with a leading plastic surgery brand, while still trying to think about a 'big idea' for the lingerie company Matt's getting all excited about. oh and yesterday we spent the afternoon at The London International Wine & Spirit Fair.
