THIS™ is a UK-based, hyper-popular plant-based food brand known for creating hyper-realistic, high-protein meat alternatives (like THIS Isn't Chicken and THIS Isn't Bacon).
Project Overview:
As the company prepared for its Series B fundraising, it needed an investor presentation that could communicate impressive business growth while staying true to its unmistakable brand identity.
The challenge wasn't simply designing another investment deck—it was transforming financial storytelling into an engaging visual experience that investors would remember.
The Challenge
Traditional investor presentations often rely on dense charts, corporate layouts, and text-heavy slides. While informative, they rarely reflect the personality that makes consumer brands successful.
For THIS™, the presentation needed to:
Preserve the brand's playful and humorous tone
Present complex business metrics with clarity
Showcase rapid commercial growth
Communicate market opportunity confidently
Keep investors engaged across a 45-slide presentation
Balance entertainment with credibility
The biggest design question became:
How do you make investors smile while convincing them to invest millions?

Increase information retention
Create memorable storytelling
Design Strategy
1. Brand-First Presentation Design
Instead of separating branding from business communication, every slide embraced the existing visual identity.
This included:
Bold typography
High-contrast layouts
Minimalistic composition
Large product imagery
Humorous visual moments
Strong visual hierarchy
The presentation immediately felt like THIS™.
2. Storytelling Before Numbers
Rather than overwhelming investors with spreadsheets, every section followed a logical business story:
Brand introduction
Market opportunity
Consumer trends
Product portfolio
Retail expansion
Financial performance
Growth strategy
Investment opportunity
This narrative structure helped investors understand why the numbers mattered.
3. Simplifying Complex Information
Large amounts of business information were transformed into digestible visuals through:
Timelines
KPI cards
Comparison layouts
Infographics
Market statistics
Retail distribution visuals
Growth charts
Product ecosystems
4. Visual Engagement
Instead of repetitive corporate slides, every section introduced new visual interest using:
Creative photography
Dynamic compositions
Product-focused imagery
White space
Large typography
Editorial layouts
The result maintained attention throughout all 45 slides.
