Impactful visual brand identity and templates for PowerPoint-based communication

Your visual identity determines how your audience feels about your company. But if it’s not planned around the software you use, your new decks and documents will look ‘off’.

As a visual branding design agency, that’s exactly what we focus on: strategic visuals to amplify your message, and bespoke PowerPoint and Word templates to keep it consistent.

You have 3 seconds to make a first impression: are you sure about that PowerPoint deck with a pre-made theme?

So, you manage a team or department in a growing company or third-sector organisation, but…

You never got round to nailing your visual brand identity 

So, there’s no real strategy (let alone consistency) behind your visual assets and documents

The visual brand identity you invested in (years ago) wasn’t done with PowerPoint in mind

So, your logo and visual assets don’t work well with your decks and documents.

Perhaps, when you asked for support, you’ve even been told “It’s because PowerPoint is limited”

Either way:

  • Your visual identity doesn’t represent your brand and message
  • You did try to create PowerPoint and Word templates using a generic premade theme, but it’s just not your area of expertise (and your team can’t keep them consistent)
  • The documents your employees send to your audience are always different and all over the place
  • You waste hours creating them—or reviewing and fixing them. So, you have less time and energy for higher-impact tasks
  • You know it means your company doesn’t come across as professional, and those inconsistent visual documents make it immemorable (which is why you’re… err, not too proud to send them)
  • So, your current visual brand identity—or lack thereof—has been costing you sales

And that’s a real shame! At Beyond the Surface, we believe your visual identity should always amplify your message and simplify your workflownot sabotage them.

That’s why we came up with a solution.

Make a powerful impact (and your workflow easier) with PowerPoint-first visual branding

Usually, PowerPoint and Word templates are offered as a last-minute add-on to bigger branding or website projects.

No wonder those visual elements look ‘off’ on those documents! It’d be like sending someone else to the tailor and hoping their custom-made outfit suits you.

Instead, as a visual branding design agency specialising in PowerPoint, we do the opposite: we create a bespoke visual identity that works with the software you use.

Visual branding that makes you impossible to ignore and forget…

Let’s lay the strongest foundations. We’ll translate your company’s unique vision into a strategic visual identity that:

Amplifies your message

Your new visual identity will finally be aligned with your brand, mission, and values

Impresses your audience 

Your visuals communicate with them on your behalf, and your audience only takes 3 seconds to judge your company.

So, let’s make that first impression a powerful one

Simplifies your workflow

No more endless tweaks and documents that look ‘off’!

You visual branding will work seamlessly with your PowerPoint and Word templates

“The visual identity feels grown up, it feels professional. It wasn’t what we expected, but it feels natural and it fits the way we work, which is exactly what we wanted.

What I was not expecting but pleasantly surprised by was how there are words and phrases that came out of our sessions that have helped us articulate our vision, and which we still use today. I thought that as designers creating our brand identity, you’d produce visuals, but actually you’ve helped with the positioning of our whole business.

The slides articulating our vision and way of working describe in a clear, concise way what it is that we do. These are an excellent shortcut to speed up meetings and help people understand our business much quicker.

Having you as a sounding board, bringing a different perspective and helping us express our ideas around the positioning of our business, has been as valuable, if not more valuable, than the physical output.” 

– Andrew Morris and Gavin Williams, Co-Founders, Latchmill

FAQs on our visual branding design agency and services

Our visual identity services are always bespoke. So, if you already have a logo, we can have a discussion to figure out if you actually need a new one or if it’s been serving you well. In some cases, it might only need to be updated and refreshed.

Absolutely not! PowerPoint and Word are the most common ones for most of our clients, but we’re here to make your life easier with the software you already use.

So, from Google Slides to Canva and more, we’ll create the templates you actually need.

Our visual branding services start at £2,500, but we prepare bespoke quotes because… well, every project is different!

We’ll discuss your budget when you book a free consultation. That way, we can scope a project that best fits your needs and goals.

At least two weeks from when it’s locked in to receiving your first drafts.

Once again, though, it really depends on the size of the project. We’ll give you a more precise timeline after our initial consultation.
