Process

1. Project Kickoff & Strategic Discovery Call We begin with a short strategy call to align on your goals, audience, and how the deck is being used—whether it's for sales, investment, or internal alignment. You’ll share your presentation (PDF, PowerPoint, or Google Slides), along with any brand guidelines or supporting materials. This ensures the audit is grounded in real context and focused on delivering actionable value.

2. Audit & Strategy Review I conduct a detailed audit of your deck — reviewing structure, flow, visual consistency, messaging clarity, and brand alignment. I compile 10–15 actionable recommendations into a written report with annotated feedback.

3. Strategy Call We’ll schedule a 30-minute call to walk through the audit together, clarify key points, and discuss next steps based on your goals — whether it’s redesigning, refining, or sharing internally.

4. Follow-Up Support & Clarification After the audit and strategy call, you’ll have the option to send one follow-up email with any questions or requests for clarification. This gives you the chance to double-check ideas, get extra input, or validate changes as you move forward—so you’re never left second-guessing your next steps.

FAQs

Can I use this audit to improve the deck myself?
Absolutely. The feedback is designed to be actionable whether you’re updating the deck in-house or planning to hire a designer. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what to change — and why.
Can I add extras like a fast turnaround or feedback on multiple decks?
Yes! You can add a fast turnaround option (+$210) if you need the review completed urgently. If you have more than one deck to audit, I offer a discounted rate of +$690 per additional deck — perfect if you're preparing for multiple pitches or want consistency across presentations. Just mention this when booking and I’ll adjust the scope accordingly.
What file formats do you accept?
You can share your deck as a PDF, PowerPoint, or Google Slides link. I’ll deliver the feedback in your preferred format — either as comments, annotated slides, or a separate PDF report.
Is this right for me if I don’t have a designer on my team?
Yes. This service is especially helpful if you’re trying to improve your presentation before pitching, even without a design team. You’ll get clear next steps that work whether you're DIY-ing or looking to hire support later.

I'm the type of client who really knows what he wants, but can't always express it. It took a 30 minute call and a brief look at my disparate moodboard for Jana to simply one-shot the branding system I wanted. That's how good she is.
