The “fluffy feel good” side of PowerPoint

June 12th, 2009

red-balloon Is there a really a feel good side to PowerPoint I hear you cry? YES, there sure is… We love what we do and it gives us great satisfaction to assist groups that would otherwise struggle to get their messages out there. Don’t panic, this is not a sanctimonious lecture about “charity work”… simply the chance to share our thoughts on giving back to the community…

We are often approached to help not for profit businesses get their messages out there. So, it was a natural transition to introduce a formal “Pro-Bono Policy” offering a free or heavily discounted presentation design service to eligible registered charities. So far this year we’ve been able to help The Starlight Foundation, The Epsilon Research Fund and Cure for Life.

Through our work with The Epsilon Foundation, which raises funds for medical research into Alzheimer’s, we’ve been lucky enough to work with a highly inspirational man, Richard Buxton – the founder of the charity. His efforts to aid medical research have seen him circumnavigate Australia by both air and sea, following in the footsteps of Matthew Flinders voyage of discovery in 1801-1803. All this to create a coffee table book on Australia – the proceeds from which will be directed into Alzheimer’s research – an awesome achievement. We created a highly interactive presentation with both audio & video for the charity to launch and sell the book.
