Our presentation design team | Hype Presentations

And we can’t take it anymore.

That’s it.

We’ve had it with pretty pointless presentations that end in empty applause. Had it with seeing brilliant ideas go down the drain because the pitch was nowhere near as brilliant.

We’ve been at this long enough to know what this moment really means and everything that’s gone into getting you here. Long enough to pin down what makes a presentation persuasive enough to hang the heaviest ambition on. To consistently create decks that wrestle your audience’s attention away from their to-do list and make your conviction so contagious they feel like the yes was their idea all along.

The end result is fantastic. It's a dramatic improvement on our old presentation. I've received lots of good feedback, and we are now looking for Hype to create a new presentation for another brand.

Four founders. One itch we couldn’t stop scratching.

We started Hype in 2023, but none of us were new to this. Richard, James, Lisa and Chris had each spent years inside the presentation world. Long enough to see that the agency model had stopped working for the people paying for it. It was slow, expensive and predictable.

Slow, when your pitch date doesn’t move. Expensive, when the deck is only ever a means to the payoff. And predictable, when the whole point is to make a room sit up and say yes.

Between us, we’d made presentations for UEFA Champions League, Epic Games, Dell, the BBC, Cartier, F1, and Unilever. We knew what a deck can do when every slide is built around what’s on the line. We also knew the old way of working was getting in the way of that.

So we turned it on its head. Hype is the presentation design agency we wanted to hire ourselves: client-first, quick on its feet, and every bit as committed to a start-up’s seed round as to a global brand’s keynote. Same four founders, now leading a presentation design team that works with clients all over the world, half of them in the US.

Presentations are our whole personality.

And if that means we don’t make the guestlist at your wedding, we’ll understand. But you shouldn’t want anyone else handling your pressure-heavy pitch.

We're ambitious.

We don’t care about your presentation. We care about what happens after you get the yes, and what the real ambition is. Because every project is personal to us too. “We need a presentation” isn’t a brief we can get behind. But when we know what’s on the line, we can point every pixel towards that purpose and pour every ounce of our own ambition into your payoff.

We’re not contractually obliged to care this much. It’s more of a physiological impulse. And we reckon you’ll forgive us pushing you and peppering you with questions once you’ve got everything you wanted.

We're voracious.

We have more ideas than intentions to apologise for it. And more inspirations too.

Generations of creative genius have come before us, and our appetite to consume every discipline that’s ever moved someone, and pour it back into your project, is insatiable.

We chase each lightbulb moment up and down your brief before we commit to the right idea. Because we’re not looking for the closest emergency exit. We’re trying to open the door you want to walk through. We’re creative strategists above all else. Our canvas happens to be PowerPoint.

We're electric.

You’d think we’d made a world-changing scientific breakthrough the way we agonise over the tiniest animation detail. And you’d be forgiven for stepping into Hype HQ and thinking civil war had broken out when we’re debating the integrity of the morph transition.

We’re not asking you to join in. But know that everyone at Hype cares about this unglamorous corner of the design world with an intensity your presentation can only benefit from.

If you’re on the fence about stepping into this comms cult, know this: the next project we do will always be the best work we’ve ever done. There’s an embarrassing amount of enthusiasm in this building, and it needs to go somewhere.

[Hype is] forward thinking, innovative and wants to challenge the status quo, which fit perfectly into our values as a business.

All hands on deck.

This presentation design team isn't a design agency that got backed into a presentation corner. We're not a marketing team that niched down. Every one of our presentation designers, storytellers and account managers is here because they're genuinely excited about PowerPoint. We're a human-first agency. Our people lead the thinking, the storytelling and the design. AI is one of the tools they use, never the one in charge.
