HELPINg YOU creatE exceptional business presentations through simple, clear and powerful storytelling, TO deliver the outcomes you want.
My experience
I’m Ollie, I have 24 years’ experience in Strategy, Product, Marketing, Transformation and Business Development roles within a global advertising group, Publicis Groupe.
A large part of my experience has been gained working on hundreds of advertising & media pitches, from UK-only to multi-billion dollar global pitches on both emerging and well known brands in almost every sector.
Spending thousands of hours putting these decks together has helped me understand what works and what doesn’t; and most importantly, the critical importance of clear and memorable presentation content.
I’ve also worked as right-hand-person for many CEOs, as the go-to person to develop their presentation content for internal and external purposes.
Working with individuals and teams to orchestrate and develop exceptional business presentations is my speciality.
“Whether working on a pitch or a business’s USP, Ollie is unique in both his productivity and ability to simplify. He’ll make a week’s progress in a day.”
— Mark Waugh, Global Chief Content Officer, Publicis Groupe
“Ollie is brilliant. Straight talking when it’s needed most, passionate, meticulous, but most of all, a pleasure to work with, even when the pressure is on.”
— Sannah Rogers, Managing Director, Zenith UK
“Ollie has a phenomenal reputation as the master of managing New Business. If he’s involved, you’ll immediately have a competitive advantage.”
— Damian Burns, SVP EMEA, Twitch, an Amazon company
Unleashing potential
Whilst many businesses have brilliant specialists, strategists and leaders, help is invariably needed translating this brilliance into compelling presentation content.
And rarely is someone responsible for managing this process and threading component content together to make a winning story. This requires a different skill: simple, clear and powerful business presentation storytelling by articulating:
A compelling overall value proposition
A clear structure that reinforces a coherent story
Clean, crisp and impactful supporting slides
An exceptional presentation as your foundation unlocks the value of your business, unleashing the full potential of you and your team.
Aligned behind a clear and consistent message, presentation delivery is always more effective; always more likely to achieve the outcomes you want.
“Ollie has many excellent attributes, two that make him a brilliant storyteller. First, a great listener and super patient. Second, he’s able to simplify, with a real appreciation of aesthetics.”
— Sean Healy, Global Chief Strategy Officer, Carat
“One of the hardest things we do in business is taking complex arguments and presenting them in a clear, concise and compelling way. Ollie does this brilliantly every time.”
— Greg Grimmer, CEO, Mediatel
“Ollie understood and appreciated good presentation design more than anyone my team worked with, and we delivered our best work over the years because of that.”
— Dan Plumb, Global Head of Design, Publicis Groupe
How I can help
I’m flexible and agile: from end-to-end management of a multi-stakeholder presentation; to objective consultant in the latter stages.
I can help with any type of business presentation: pitch, sales, budget, investor, product, credentials or conference deck.
Perhaps…
You’re a marketing services company who needs objective, disciplined support with an important pitch, sales, or credentials presentation.
You operate in an area that is highly specialised and you need help in translating your presentation for a less familiar decision-making audience.
You’re a senior team operating in a business that prepares presentations infrequently. So when you do, you need support and expertise.
You’re a CEO and have an organisational change, budget or conference presentation that would benefit from dedicated support.
