Your PowerPoint Deck is Already Outdated — Here’s How to Fix It
Ruby + Citrine
A multifaceted design agency specializing in presentations, event support, training/elearning, and graphic design.
The High-Stakes Reality of Executive Presentations
You’ve seen it happen. A high-stakes board meeting, an investor pitch, or a major sales presentation — and the room checks out within minutes. Maybe it’s too much text. Maybe the slides look dated. Maybe the message gets lost in a sea of bullet points.
Whatever the reason, ineffective presentations cost companies millions. Decisions happen fast, and if your slides don’t engage, persuade, and clearly communicate value, you’re losing influence before you even speak.
The solution? A presentation strategy designed for 2025 — one that prioritizes visual impact, storytelling, and cutting-edge tools to captivate any audience. Staying ahead of the latest presentation trends is key to making an impact.
At Ruby + Citrine, we help Fortune 500 companies, startups, and agencies transform their presentations into high-impact, persuasive assets. Here are the presentation trends the best leaders are using to upgrade their decks — and how we can help you do the same.
5 Game-Changing Presentation Trends for 2025
1?? AI-Powered Slide Design & Smart Formatting
?? The Old Way: Manually formatting every slide, struggling with layouts, and wasting hours making design tweaks.
?? The 2025 Approach: AI-driven design tools are streamlining slide creation, helping to auto-optimize layouts, colors, and fonts for maximum engagement.
?? How We Help: At Ruby + Citrine, we combine AI tools with our expert designers to create visually consistent, brand-aligned decks — faster and more effectively than ever before. No more endless formatting.
2?? Interactive & Data-Driven Storytelling
?? The Old Way: Presenting data as static charts and expecting decision-makers to interpret it.
?? The 2025 Approach: Clickable, interactive elements and live data visualization help audiences engage and understand insights instantly.
?? How We Help: We design interactive presentations with dynamic data visualizations, live dashboards, and clickable elements — so your audience doesn’t just see the data, they experience it.
3?? Shorter, Punchier, More Visual Decks
?? The Old Way: 50-slide presentations packed with text that no one remembers.
?? The 2025 Approach: The average executive’s attention span is shrinking. 10-minute, high-impact presentations are replacing lengthy slide decks.
?? How We Help: We specialize in condensing complex ideas into short, visually compelling decks that hold attention and drive decisions.
4?? Motion & Micro-Animations for Engagement
?? The Old Way: Flat, static slides that fail to direct focus.
?? The 2025 Approach: Subtle animations guide the viewer’s eye, emphasize key points, and increase retention by 23%.
?? How We Help: Our designers incorporate strategic motion and micro-animations to ensure your audience stays engaged and focused on what matters.
5?? Presentation-as-Video (PAV) Formats
?? The Old Way: Presentations that require a live speaker to be effective.
?? The 2025 Approach: Auto-playing narrated presentations help executives deliver high-impact messages — even when they can’t be in the room.
?? How We Help: We create seamless, on-brand video presentations that convey your message clearly and effectively — whether it’s a sales pitch, investor deck, or internal strategy update.
