Brief

A UK financial services provider needed an animated quote sequence for an exhibition stand. The requirement was a looping 16:9 PowerPoint that cycles through short member quotes on a TV unit, holding attention with bright colourways and a clear typographic rhythm. The content team wanted to add or remove quotes easily, avoid designer dependency, and export a reliable file for continuous playback. We therefore proposed an editable PowerPoint system that keeps animation timing consistent, offers style presets for different quote lengths, and supports multiple brand colour variants. The result had to be simple to maintain, readable at distance, and smooth on standard venue hardwar.

Approach

We translated the desired motion into an editable slide master with text frames sized for short, medium and long quotes. Each frame uses disciplined typography, measured line lengths and safe-area margins for 16:9 displays. We created colour sets so the same sequence can run in different brand-aligned variants without rebuilding slides. Animation used restrained transitions and motion cues to keep copy legible—entry, dwell and exit timings were tuned for a comfortable read before advancing. Editors can duplicate a slide, paste a quote, choose the style preset, and pick a colour variant. Title and attribution styles are optional and automatically align. We added brief usage notes in edit view covering best practice for character counts, timing, and exporting to MP4 or PPSX for looped playback on standard TV units. The final deck is lightweight, easy to version, and ready to run as a seamless loop.

Outcome

The stand team now publishes eye-catching quote reels without external design support. Colour variants keep the sequence fresh across sessions; consistent timings ensure quotes are readable; and the 16:9 master guarantees clean edges on modern displays. Because everything lives in Microsoft PowerPoint, staff simply duplicate slides, paste text and export—no After Effects, no specialist tools. The loop runs smoothly on venue screens, drawing attention and reinforcing brand tone through controlled colour and typography.
