Consulting Services for Technical Content & Presentations
While most engineers are brilliant problem solvers and subject-matter experts, their technical content and presentations are often “data dumps” that don’t make information relevant to audience needs.
No matter how knowledgeable the presenter, technical content that fails to connect results in disinterested audiences, wasted opportunities and lost revenue.
We design and deliver technical content that engages audiences, creates mindshare, and ultimately wins business.
As experienced engineers and expert technical communicators, we create clear, targeted messaging for a variety of settings:
sales presentations
technical conferences
product or investor pitches
design reviews
team or management meetings
live or online training
We follow a proven method for content design that is game-changing for companies who create content for customers, other engineers, management, investors or larger audiences.
Using our proven method, we:
Develop and hone a “big idea” that communicates the “why” before the “what” and drives the entire content or presentation design.
Identify and assess actual rather than assumed audience needs to better target the message.
Design content to meet audience needs in a way that captures and maintains attention.
Determine the appropriate amount and level of information to support the big idea without creating the classic “data dump.”
Create a framework to deliver the content that works within the time or delivery constraints.
Develop storyboards and convert them to video or slides that transform complex ideas into easy-to-follow presentations.
Incorporate stories, demos, examples, analogies and other elements to increase audience retention, connection and mindshare.
We usually have an initial conversation to identify your goals and determine needs. As we create content, we gather inputs and collaborate with you during the development process. We are happy to work with teams or individuals throughout the technical content design process.

“You don’t realize how ineffective most presentations are until you see the structure that goes into making a great one.”
