Global Development Advisors asked us to create a customized editable PowerPoint template tailored to their website and branding:
1. Establishing Development-Focused Branding Guidelines
We began by analyzing the organization’s logo and existing brand assets to create a set of guidelines that captured their mission-driven identity.
These guidelines defined the use of colors, typography, and visual hierarchy to ensure presentations communicated authority, clarity, and global perspective.
2. Designing Layouts for Advisory Communication
We developed layouts tailored to the organization’s needs, including structures for policy recommendations, data-driven reports, and stakeholder engagement sessions.
Each layout was designed to balance professionalism with accessibility, ensuring complex information could be presented clearly to diverse audiences.
3. Creating a Global Color Palette
A custom brand color palette was integrated directly into PowerPoint.
The palette emphasized tones that reflect trust, sustainability, and collaboration, reinforcing the organization’s values while maintaining visual consistency across all slides.
4. Embedding Fonts for Professional Consistency
We embedded the organization’s chosen fonts into the template, applying them to headings, subheadings, and body text.
This guaranteed consistent typography across presentations, even when shared with international partners.
5. Developing Master Slides with Policy-Oriented Placeholders
Master slides were constructed with placeholders designed for advisory content — such as charts for economic data, visuals for development projects, and text areas for recommendations. This made it easy to build new presentations while staying aligned with the brand identity.
6. Customizing Handouts & Notes Masters
Beyond the slides, we designed branded handouts and notes masters.
These ensured that supplementary materials used in workshops, conferences, or policy discussions carried the same professional identity as the main presentation.
7. Integrating with the Slide Library for Efficiency
Finally, we connected the template to our slide library, giving Global Development Advisors access to a wide range of pre-designed slides. Each one automatically matched their brand colors and fonts, enabling quick customization directly inside PowerPoint.
Result
Global Development Advisors received a fully branded, professional PowerPoint template that is editable, reusable, and aligned with their mission. This solution streamlined their workflow and ensured every presentation — whether for governments, NGOs, or international stakeholders — communicates their brand consistently and effectively.
