The process

We’ll kick off a project with a 20-minute phone call to discuss your goals, brand identity, and timeline to ensure that your project goes smoothly.

Based on our discussion, I’ll send you a creative direction of 2-3 slides to ensure I’m headed in the right direction. My goal here is to amaze you!

I’ll incorporate your feedback from the creative direction and complete the design of the entire deck. I’ll edit until you’re perfectly happy – usually 1-2 revisions.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a typical project take.

A typical project takes 5-7 days to complete. Faster timelines may be possible. Feel free to reach out to discuss current project estimates.

What if I'm in a BIG hurry?

Other clients’ schedules may shift, leaving availability for rush projects. Please feel free to reach out if you need a project expedited to see if I have availability. Rush fees are 100% of the project cost for a 48-hour turnaround and 50% for 48-96 hour turnarounds.

In what format should I send you my content?

You are welcome to send your content already on slides or in outline format. If you have a specific vision for a particular slide, feel free to include an inspirational graphic or description of your vision to maximize efficiency and reduce turnaround time.

What else do you need from me to get started?

If you have high-resolution version of your logo in PNG, EPS or AI format, please send it, along with any style guides you may have for your brand. If you do not have a style guide, I can follow your website style to ensure consistency of your brand.

What if I don’t have a style guide?

If you do not have a style guide, I can follow your website style to ensure consistency of your brand. If you do not have a website or it does not currently reflect the direction you’d like to go, feel free to send over any other designs or examples you may have or like. Alternatively, I can propose a design that represents your brand.

How does payment work?

At the end of the project, I’ll send you an invoice that you can pay via credit card online.

How do you source photos? Are those an additional charge?

I use Shutterstock to license photography. Technically, those assets are licensed to me so if you are going to use them in the public domain you will need to license them to you or your company. I can provide a collection for quick access to license the images. Shutterstock packages are very reasonably priced at $3 or less per image.

What if I’m not happy with the final product?

We will begin the project with a creative direction, which is 2-3 designed slides, to ensure that I am the right designer for your project and that we efficiently get to a presentation that WOWs. If I am unable to create a design that you like during that process, you will not be charged.

If there are a few slides that need additional revisions at the end of the project, I am happy to provide those to ensure you love the final product.

Will I be able to edit the final presentation?

Absolutely! There may be occasional design elements that are created in Photoshop and imported in, but to the extent possible, all text is added in PowerPoint so that you can easily edit it.

How will we coordinate and communicate during a project?

I can communicate with you in whichever fashion you prefer. Most of my clients prefer email, but I am happy to collaborate with you in Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack or any other platform that is in your workflow.

What if I don’t want my content in your portfolio?

That’s not a problem at all. Just let me know when we start working together and I’ll place a note in your client file to keep your content out of my portfolio.

Additionally, if you would like for me to sign an NDA, I’d be happy to do so.

I'm a fellow presentation designer and I'd like some advice

PowerPoint Specialist

What is the role, salary information, job description, hire a powerpoint specialist, what is a powerpoint specialist.

Graphic Designer , Presentation Designer , Illustrator

As stated by Slidegenius, professional PowerPoint Specialists, also known as presentation designers or presentation specialists, “provide a deck that stays true to your core identity, ensuring that your audience gets the right message. Inconsistency between your visual design and your speech confuse and tune your audience out. If you’re a high-class brand, no one will invest in you if your slides are cluttered and use eye-searing colors. Unity between your brand story and presentation deck effectively complements and conveys your message.”

PowerPoint Specialists, according to Konus, “hold expertise in designing all kinds of PowerPoint presentations for multiple clients and styles. They have the technical know-how to maximize Microsoft PowerPoint’s functions, and the creative background needed to beautify presentations that drive clear objectives.”

PowerPoint Specialists work with internal teams to provide creative support to key creative and marketing projects, whether for an internal (new sales plan or product launch) or external (product demo, sales presentation) team, and/or they work with agencies or other clients to create visually stunning documents that promote a brand, deliver or confirm a message, explain a service or product, and add value to the presentation, company using the presentation, or person presenting the PowerPoint presentation.

What does a PowerPoint Specialist do, typically?

Technically savvy creative wizards.

Today’s PowerPoint Specialists understand the importance of a company or clients’ brand, possess marketing skills, and can use a variety of creative and technical skills to create stunning PowerPoint presentations that incorporate a variety of visuals/creative assets to create presentations that get others to say “wow!” Top PowerPoint Specialists have experience with graphics, charts, infographics, color themes, master templates, animations, hyperlinking, transitions, actions, video, and more. Top PowerPoint Specialists may also be PowerPoint certified.

Convey/sell a message

A PowerPoint Specialist can not only sell the message within a presentation, they can also sell the company. Companies hire social media managers and corporate communications specialists to manage a company’s image, message, and brand. PowerPoint Specialists do the same.

While anyone can “throw” a PowerPoint presentation together, a PowerPoint Specialist can ensure your brand is consistent and the message matches the company brand, values, mission, and goals. As pointed out by Slidegenius, PowerPoint Specialists create designs that “complements your purpose gets your message across. Audiences appreciate the uniform content, visual elements, and purpose, making them feel like you know exactly what you’re talking about. This increases the chance of converting budding interest into positive action.”

Support internal teams

PowerPoint Specialists serve as critical members of a team, such as the sales team, for example, where the PowerPoint Specialist may assist sales/account management teams with sales collateral or presentations – creating visually empowering presentations that sell the company services, products, or are used in a product demo, or as part of keynote presentation. These pecialists create presentations that drive value, generate sales, and give internal team members the power to succeed through powerful presentations.

Neil Tomlinson

Expert powerpoint specialist designer freelancer.

Outstanding High Quality Professional PowerPoint Presentations

Need to impress your audience, but don't have time to create or design a killer PowerPoint presentation or pitch deck yourself? Hire my professional freelance specialist PowerPoint designer service, let an expert take the load off your shoulders.

Outstanding Professional PowerPoint Presentations and Pitch Decks

"I contacted Neil to build a professional, engaging Powerpoint pitchdeck designed to sell my online course for translators. He has been extremely professional and approachable throughout, he implemented the changes we discussed really quickly, and the final result is nothing short of a masterpiece! Neil was also kind enough to call me to discuss some startup marketing strategies for me. I'd be more than happy to recommend him to others, he is the best at what he does, and I will be introducing him to my network in the future. "

Liverpool, United Kingdom

"Thank you very much Neil, the Powerpoint is absolutely mind blowing! Love the graphs!! You seriously are very talented"

London, United Kingdom

"Neil's creativity, communications, and project management were first-rate, and I believe that working directly with him as a PowerPoint specialist designer was far superior to the experience we would have had if instead we'd elected to work with a larger organization. I most highly recommend Neil; working with Neil was a genuine pleasure."

Dallas - Texas, USA

Bespoke PowerPoint

Time and time again I have been asked by the really "savvy" presenters to build tailor made PowerPoint presentations aimed and themed directly at an individual audience. By producing a specialist presentation that includes the company logo and corporate colours of your audience, with content tailored to match the specific requirement you will really "bowl your audience over". Images, graphs, and graphics call all be personalised to add something extra that turns an ok presentation into a "wow!" presentation.

First impressons count - with a bespoke powerpoint presentation or pitch deck you are embracing the real strength of PowerPoint and ensuring that it works to deliver your messages as effectively as possible.

I successfully operate remotely as a freelance business professional with my clients around the world. The advantage of using a freelancer is that I have the experience of a wide range of industries and clients that means 'I add a lot of insight and value' to your the final PowerPoint production for you.

My intention is always to keep you up to date on developments and I will recommend and deliver an expertly designed and produced PowerPoint presentation that will optimise your company messages.

PowerPoint also has certain nuiances such as font management and the differences between Mac and PC use, as part of my service I can advise early on in any project development the best solutions to ensure a smooth execution of your presentation. Powerpoint can also incorporate video and music and I can advise on the interaction and suitability of using powerpoint like this also.

"It has been a great pleasure to work with Neil. I had an important Powerpoint presentation about a conceptual startup issue, and wanted a professional powerpoint to support my talk. However, I had no idea how to create one for myself. Neil has created a pitch presentation that does all that I hoped it would do. Beyond that he was fantastic to work with - really efficient and fast to respond when I needed edits"

Twyford, United Kingdom

Converting flat designs to editable PowerPoint

Increasingly brands are turning to their design agencies to produce new Powerpoint presentations to support their new (or existing) brand messages. I frequently take on the role of working with agencies who may not be that familiar with powerpoint to convert flat designs executed in software such as InDesign, PDF's etc and converting them in to workable, editable and expertly designed powerpoint files. I am happy to (and often do) work 'white label' for many creative agencies around the world.

"The Powerpoint specialist service we received from Neil was fast, efficient, professional and the end result was of a very high standard which our client was impressed with. We look forward to working again with Neil."

Southampton, United Kingdom

Designing PowerPoint presentations for your job interview

I am receiving more and more requests from individuals who have been asked to conduct a presentation during their job interview process. A presentation to a future employer can often be one of the most important impressions you will initially leave with them because it is likely to be one of their first impressions of you. I have designed a number of Powerpoint presentations for individuals as part of this process and its great news when you get to hear back from them on whether they got the job - often when I hear back from them it was the presentation that really helped them get the job!

"I rang Neil because I had an urgent job interview, where I was asked to make a power point presentation about my strategic thoughts to a panel of potential future colleagues. The pressure was on to make a great impression. Neil's design work and recommendations were stellar - and I am a tough grader. He added value, guiding me on the modern use of PowerPoint to compliment my somewhat outdated, bullet-point laden style. Three of the panellists cited the presentation's amazing design ... and that was even before I started presenting! I also liked that Neil always answered the phone personally and quickly, and was amazingly calm and focused throughout. He is an exceptional professional."

E14, London, United Kingdom

Pitch deck, board reports etc using a Powerpoint specialist

It is increasingly important that documents such as a startup, seed, series A, series B funding pitchdecks; board reports, to investors, venture capitalists, shareholders or other stakeholders be of a professional designed quality - first impressions count. The beauty of power point is that I can (and often do) produce high quality designs for these type of documents within powerpoint (documents that are never intended to be presented on screen but instead printed or converted to PDF) which means you have a professional quality designed document produced by a freelancer specialist which enables you to make future edits to the document yourself without any specialist software knowledge. As part of my service and via my extensive knowledge I can also advise on flow and content ensuring that not only does your powerpoint pitch deck look professional but the content is right too.

I can also (if you need it) provide a personal introduction to the CEO in one of the top ten venture capitalist firms upon completition of your PowerPoint pitch deck.

At all times this type of work is carried out acknowledging the strictest confidentiality for the client's content.

“I had found Neil’s details through searching for someone to help be build a powerpoint presentation, from our first conversation I felt that not only could I work with Neil but he gave the confidence that he would be able to portray my very basic presentation into a strong presentation which would help me bring my product to market.

Neil has transformed my presentation to such a level that not only has it brought my product to life but it has allowed me to present our product to some of the largest online retailers with such a strong message from the first page to the last. should you be looking for someone to transform your presentation and make it stand out from the crowd i cannot recommend neil enough. not only do i see neil now as a person who does freelance powerpoints i now class him as a member of our team when it comes to any presentations for us to show our clients., should you be looking for that special touch to bring your products to life then you will certainly be in safe hands with neil.”.

Bangkok, Thailand

“Working with Neil was seamless. He was extremely responsive, professional and answered questions right away. He understood our design objective and provided us with exactly what we were looking for.”

New York, USA

On going PowerPoint support for you or your company

Do you find your time could be better spent elsewhere than putting together your own PowerPoint presentation?

Another aspect of my specialist service is I can also provide reliable long term support for all of your PowerPoint needs, whether it be an important client presentation, a board report or investor presentation, a sales product presentation or solution. I have many clients that I have worked with for many years now. They call on me as and when needed for whatever their PowerPoint needs are. The service can be from the occasional slide(s) need improving right, to updating a whole load of existing PowerPoint decks into their new company branding, right the way through to me being their one stop shop for all their PowerPoint needs. Let me take your power point presentation workload off of you or your company to ensure I deliver to you professional designed presentations for your audiences, every time, on time.

Designer Info Graphics for Powerpoint

As you will imagine I have worked with hundreds of presentations so part of my service I offer to you is knowing what works well on screen to support your presentation. This has particular value when it comes to presenting a complex idea, statistics, messages etc. As part of my service you enjoy the wealth of experience I can add to your presentation to ensure that whatever you are trying to convey to your audience it is done efficiently, effectively and professionally - and this may include suggestions to you on how a graphical element or an image(s) may work better than a traditional method.

“I had changed from PowerPoint to Prezi a few years ago on the basis that it was more flexible. In the end it just started to look a little bit DIY, which is exactly what it was. To my delight, I found that in the hands of a professional like Neil, PowerPoint can be dynamic, multi-media and deliver massive impact! – Very happy with the outcome and great value too.”

Manchester, UK

Building a fully functioning Powerpoint template successfully will ultimatley provide users of the powerpoint template with a great tool to build professional presentations, on-brand, quickly and efficiently. But understanding the technicalities of building a bespoke powerpoint template for your company should not be underestimated.

"I am very impressed with the whole template and so glad I came to Neil who is clearly a PowerPoint specialist rather than just using a standard design agency."

Alton, United Kingdom

"Neil has exceeded our expectations at all level when he built us a new Powerpoint slide master template from flat designs. The end result couldn’t have been better, the process and communications were excellent and the overall project highly efficient. Neil is incredibly responsive, talented and his wealth of expertise guarantee a quick turn around with the highest quality. The guides and tips on how to use certain slide designs and animations will undoubtedly help generate efficiencies across our teams. Thanks again and I hope I’ll get the opportunity to work with Neil again!"

Contern, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg

"Neil worked with us on a project to create some new branded PowerPoint templates for the work we do as a consultancy. He got the brief immediately and turned around the work very quickly and to a very high standard. His ideas and tips were excellent and clearly accumulated from lots of experience in dealing with startup clients like us. Very responsive and super helpful."

Bristol, United Kingdom

Simple PowerPoint Template Design

A great template design will transform a dull PowerPoint into a professional, coherent and powerful presentation. It should also ensure that staff (of all abilities) in a company can deliver professional standard, on-brand presentations efficiently. A custom designed template will provide the backbone for all of your PowerPoint presentations, correctly branded and consistent every time.

A simple template solution includes the design and development of a title and content master, a divider slide and a colour scheme, all set up and ready for you to use.

Within all my Template designs (no matter how complex or simple they might be) I add unique user instructions set and fixed within the Powerpoint template to ensure that whenever a user utilises a Template they know how to use it correctly - no matter what their ability or prowess is in powerpoint. I believe this is unique to my offering.

"I am delighted with the core powerpoint template theme and range of designed alternative layouts we now have. I have never had a company template with such a degree of attention to detail, comprehensive supporting notes and design tips."

"couldn’t have been any easier or more enjoyable working with neil. he told us everything he would need to do the job upfront and got it spot on first time. everything was done above and beyond what was required and we now finally have a proper functioning powerpoint template that everyone in the company can use (which looks amazing). we will definitely be coming back for more on our next project, a pleasure to work with.", "neil helped us to build a template for a powerpoint document that gets widely used in our company. we found him extremely responsive, efficient, and the quality of his work is extremely high. we would definitely use him again.".

Advanced PowerPoint Template Design

In addition to creating a title and content master, a divider slide and a colour scheme, I can also design and develop some extra tools for you to use to tailor your presentations, such as multiple masters for different uses.

This can include a master PowerPoint template for on screen use, a template for print use, a template for notes (slide and notes shown) use or templates for each division of your company, all held together under the same brand, look, and style.

I will provide you with a set of example slides, with different layouts for text and images and graphical slides such as tables and graphs, all in a consistent visual style aligned to your brand. Every slide is simple to edit, add your own content or instantly change data for complete ease of use.

I can also advise on fonts; PowerPoint is notorious for its font management and the complexities around what will and wont work and without the correct advise a great looking font on one computer can look entirely different on another unless certain precautions are set in place - which of course I can advise and provide recommendations and solutions for you.

Increasingly brands are turning to their design agencies to produce new Powerpoint templates to support their new (or existing) brand messages. I frequently take on the role of working with agencies who may not be that familiar with powerpoint to convert flat designs executed in software such as InDesign, PDF's etc and converting them in to workable, editable and expertly designed powerpoint files. I am happy to (and often do) work 'white label' for many creative agencies around the world.

“Neil has an expert knowledge of PowerPoint, through this he has been able to transform our design concepts into a practical working template that includes all the functionality and guidance to enable simple but professional use across the whole organisation.”

Nottingham, United Kingdom

"We were lucky enough to work with Neil on a pretty complicated PowerPoint template project. Neil was a terrific specialist partner, produced impeccable work and gave very good guidance."

Portland, USA

"I was delighted with the template Neil produced for us. His advice on how best to create a template that users would find easy to use was invaluable. I wouldn’t hesitate in using him again."

"We came to Neil and provided a brief for generating an updated professional PowerPoint template which he grasped immediately. In a matter of just a few days Neil had reviewed all of the collateral material we provided and generated drafts for our review which completely hit the mark first time around. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of presentation service Neil provided to us."

Hayes, Middlesex, United Kingdom

"Neil recently created a powerpoint slide deck for our organization. He worked quickly and efficiently, adhering to our brief expertly and managed to create a slick, professional powerpoint template that far exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend his services."

Dublin, Ireland

"I contacted Neil because we needed a Company Power Point template that could be used by all members of staff regardless of their IT capabilities. The template also needed to be consistent with our existing branding. What Neil has produced for us could not have been more perfect! Easy to use (and with very clear user guide tips), the template maintains our branding guidelines with a spin that makes it look fresh and modern. Really happy with the template and working with Neil has been an absolute pleasure! I could not recommend him more."

Do you have an existing powerpoint file that just isnt working right, the right powerpoint content, powerpoint training, tips, advice and guidance on powerpoint.

"Neil’s ability to understand an organisation’s needs is outstanding. He is professional and patient while delivering creative PowerPoint solutions. I highly recommend his services and I look forward to working with him again in the future. "

A number of presentations I undertake may include confidential information, for example for an investor pitch deck presentation, floatation, finance board report, shareholder meeting. Working with NDA's (Non-Disclosure Agreements) or similar agreements or documents is perfectly acceptable and I am happy to sign any such document before a project commences to reassure my client that their information will remain secure. I am also officially registered as a Data Controller under the Data Protection Act. For more information on how your data will be handled please refer to my Privacy Policy

Sydney, Australia

"We had a last minute request from one of our important clients to add and improve their PowerPoint presentation. Being a film production company we were in need of some one who had specific expertise with presentation software and fortunately we found Neil online. The request was last thing on Friday and our deadline was Monday EOP. Once briefed Neil started immediately which relieved a lot of stress and pressure that would have occurred on the Monday. He took time out of his weekend to do this, which although we did not ask him to do we really appreciated it, meaning on our arrival back to the office Monday morning we could give him feedback and focus on a few other challenging aspects of the job. Neil found PowerPoint solutions to a couple of challenges that we just did not think would be possible to solve. The outcome was minimal stress, and work completely efficiently to a high standard that our client was very pleased with.

We are very impressed with our new PowerPoint presentation and we are sure our audiences will be too."

"We contacted Neil to see if he could help us with a Powerpoint presentation for one of our biggest events of the year. While we have resource in-house that can build presentations we had other projects on, a tight timeline and we wanted something that would be different from our usual presentations. I was absolutely blown away by Neil’s speed and effectiveness. He listened carefully to our brief and delivered over and above our expectations.

Neil was very open to any changes that I thought necessary and always spoke to me offering up his professional opinion on the changes and whether he thought they would work and how to implement them causing our working relationship to be symbiotic. I highly recommend working with him for his professionalism and his fair prices and for the amount of one to one time you get whilst working with him."

Thankfully, we hired Neil to help lift the burden of fonts, images, animations and transitions; within a couple of days, we had the powerpoint presentation that we needed and what the subject deserved.

Ulster, Northern Ireland

"Neil has produced excellent new ideas and power point presentation options for us to work with in very impressive turnaround times."

Johannesburg, South Africa

"I first came across Neil when searching for PowerPoint designers on the web. I was first struck at the professional appearance of the site and the examples he showed. I emailed Neil and briefly described what I was looking for. I emphasise briefly here. Neil researched the company website I have and the work that I do to create a first draft of a deck. The results were amazing, he knew from his research exactly the branding to use and the feel I wanted to put across in the slide deck. There was nothing much to change and I had the idea of another layout I wanted to use for one slide for the final deck. A few days later the final deck arrived with nothing needing changing. In all the whole process took about a week with stunning results. I would highly recommend Neil for both the quality and cost of his work."

Neil transformed our wordy basic PowerPoint into a visual statement that conveyed exactly the key messages that we wanted to communicate. We are extremely pleased with the end result and will certainly work with Neil again in the future."

Feltham, Middlesex, United Kingdom

"Neil is a talented PowerPoint designer and produced a template that was highly regarded by all at Ezbob. I can highly recommend Neil if you are looking for impactful, stand-out-from-the-crowd presentations."

"I wanted a basic PowerPoint presentation 'professionalising' and I found Neil on the web. He did a great job, promptly and for a reasonable price. I would use him again."

Harrogate, North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

"Working with Neil was great, we needed to ensure that our PowerPoint presentations were kept on brand and also develop a template that was easy for colleagues to use. Within a week Neil had done just that, he delivered on the brief with minimal changes, delivering a fantastic base Powerpoint template that will ensure that creating PowerPoint presentations will be so much easier. I would definitely recommend him whatever your PowerPoint requirements are, he really is an expert."

"we approached neil as we had a set of powerpoint templates that were being used in-house and for external presentations, that just didn’t function properly. neil was able to take what we had, and rebuild them all from scratch. we now have a powerpoint template that is not only on brand, and almost as importantly, it’s easy for everyone to use.".

Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom

Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom

"I had been looking for a PowerPoint designer to help me create a range of marketing collateral to showcase my CEO coaching practice. After a few false starts and more than a little time wasted I found Neil online. From the start he gave me confidence that he was the real deal. Neil balances technical Powerpoint expertise with an outstanding eye for design and a high degree of creativity. He is easy to work with, open to ideas and feedback, and gets the job done to time and to budget. What’s not to like?"
