Brief

We were commissioned by a major UK creative studio to produce a PowerPoint brochure template for their client, Deo Leo. The goal was a flexible template that non-designers could use to build marketing materials with confidence, while keeping brand rules intact. The client’s users were distributed across locations and time zones, so the tool needed to be familiar, editable and easy to share. Although a Word route was possible, we proposed PowerPoint because it behaves like a canvas for imagery and type, supports page-like layouts, and exports reliably to PDF for print or digital circulation. The deliverable therefore had to combine a consistent brand system—colour, typography, spacing—with generous layout choice for product, story and data pages. In short, the brief centred on a PowerPoint brochure template that balances speed and control: quick to assemble, simple to update, and robust enough to keep every page on brand for a consumer-facing context.

Approach

We began by mapping common brochure scenarios with the partner studio—covers, section openers, product spreads, image-led stories, text-heavy explainers and data highlights. From there, we rebuilt the brand system natively in PowerPoint: theme colours, font themes and a grid that governs spacing, image frames and caption behaviour. A disciplined slide master with custom layouts encodes margins, columns and safe areas, so pages align without manual nudging. To support variety, we supplied multi-layout families (single, double and mosaic image panels; copy-first and image-first designs; quote and callout treatments). We added print/PDF presets, bleed-safe guides and export guidance so outputs look deliberate on paper and on screen. Image placeholders, picture crops and mask options make visual swaps fast, while notes provide practical tips on maintaining typographic rhythm and avoiding distortion. Finally, we validated the template on typical enterprise builds and confirmed that distributed teams could co-edit, version and export consistently. The result feels like an editorial brochure yet remains fully editable—ideal for marketing teams who need to move quickly without breaking the design.

Outcome

Teams now assemble brochures faster and with fewer rework cycles. Because spacing and type are governed by the slide master, pages stay consistent across authors. The multi-layout set gives users creative room without risking brand drift, while image placeholders and caption styles keep photography and copy in balance. Print and PDF exports are clean and predictable, which reduces last-minute adjustments and feedback loops. In practice, editors focus on content, not alignment; distributed teams share files confidently; and the brand reads the same wherever the brochure is produced. Overall, the template delivers a clear win for speed, quality and brand consistency in PowerPoint.
