48 Winning PowerPoint Samples

What makes a winning powerpoint? Can theme design alone elevate content to a “win”?

Our designers had these questions in mind when we curated this post on 48 winning powerpoint samples, and the larger series. Effective presentations blend creative content with idea, but at what ratio? What if we looked at the most popular presentations the world had ever seen (borrowed from SlideShare data) to learn?

From looking at the below, it would seem that design plays an even greater role than we originally believed, as the winning powerpoint theme design samples are both inspirational and entertaining. Even when the content isn’t that enlightening, a creative theme can drive action!

Which PowerPoint Theme Design is Your Winner?

The best part of any creative endeavor is that we all have unique preferences. Depending on your audience and style, winning presentations are the ones that most effectively achieve your goals.

Across our series we’ve been collecting data about each of the presentations above, both in terms of design, content, usages, and presentation method. In the coming weeks we’ll share an analysis of the factors of a compelling presentation, and how to translate even ugly presentations into successes.

We hope our winning powerpoint samples help inspire new ways of thinking! If you need a presentation design agency to make that happen, be in touch and we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
