Engaging presentations are crucial for successfully captivating an audience. You have a lot to say, and all of it is good. But while it’s easy to fill your slides with text, it can be challenging to visualize that text into a presentation that promotes your message. So we would like to share with you some inspiration and some fundamental presentation guidelines, both from our own portfolio and from  Slideshare, a San-Francisco based company that provides a platform for businesses and professionals to share their presentations online.

SlideShare recently announced winners for the ‘World’s Best Presentation of 2009′ and I have to say, the winning presentations certainly grab your attention. Among them are Dan Roam and Dr Tony Jones’ collaboration called “American Health Care: a 4-Napkin Explanation.” Voted as the winner of Slideshare’s Best Presentation of 2009. It’s clever, simple to understand and far shorter than reading the written health bills.

Let us know how we can help you improve your presentations. Check out our portfolio of completed projects.

We have recently been voted one of “Banker and Tradesman’s Best of 2009” with a Silver Award in Web Site Design Services. David Kelleher, president of CGI Interactive, said “We are very appreciative of the recognition this award brings. It is inspiring to know that so many people in New England feel our services provide the caliber of design and expertise that they look for in an agency.”

Banker & Tradesman is a leading publication in New England with a broad readership of the most influential people in the real estate, financial, and construction industries.

More than 6,000 readers responded to the annual Banker & Tradesman readers’ opinion poll, which has grown in recognition in the business community in Massachusetts. The survey measures the loyalty and satisfaction that the publication’s readers have had with service providers. It is an opportunity for the New England financial and real estate communities to speak up for those providers they believe are the best.

All winners were published in a special section of the July 27th issue of Banker & Tradesman.
