Presentation

  • Written By Gregg Rosenzweig
  • Updated: November 8, 2023
We’re here to help you choose the most appropriate content types to fulfill your content strategy. In this series, we’re breaking down the most popular content types to their most basic fundamentals — simple definitions, clarity on formats, and plenty of examples — so you can start with a solid foundation.

What is a Presentation?

A communication device that relays a topic to an audience in the form of a slide show, demonstration, lecture, or speech, where words and pictures complement each other.

Why should you think of presentations as content?

The beauty of content creation is that almost anything can become a compelling piece of content . Just depends on the creativity used to convert it and the story that brings it to life.

presentation definition of terms

The long and short of it

Although the length of a presentation in terms of time can depend on the overall approach (Are you talking a lot? Are you referring to the screen in detail or not?), consider the number of informational content slides when tallying the overall presentation length. For instance, don’t include title slides in your tally when conveying length to a content creator.

A general guide to presentation length:

  • Short Form (5 content slides)
  • Standard Form (10 content slides)
  • Long Form (20+ content slides)

Popular use cases for presentations…

Let’s consider TED Talks for a minute: one of the best examples (bar none) of how words, pictures, and a narrative can make people care about something they otherwise might not.

These “talks” pre-date podcasts and blend a compelling use of language and imagery in presentation format to spread ideas in unique ways.

TED Talks have been viewed a billion-plus times worldwide (and counting) and are worth considering when it comes to how you might use video-presentation content to connect with your customers in creative, cool, new ways.

Business types:

Any company that has a pitch deck, executive summary , sales presentation, or any kind of internal document that can be repurposed into external-facing content pieces — without pain.

Presentitude

Presentitude creates visual and powerful presentations using effective and visual PowerPoint templates.

DEFINITION OF PRESENTATION

The word “presentation” does not equal single slides or slide decks – or the delivery skills when showing these slides. We use the word presentation in its widest definition – the whole presentation landscape: formal presentations and informal presentations to internal or external audiences, presentation documents and slideuments, small workshop presentations and keynote addresses, corporate presentation templates and single slide decks, using flipcharts and whiteboards or graphic recording.

“Presentation” means the story, the structure, the content and the planning and the actual delivery – as well as the design.

For us – “presentitude” is a state of mind when approaching presentations. Only a story – however great – won’t do, regardless on how well it attracts your heart. Your communication also needs to attract the brain to be successful. A successful presentation needs to combine the story with facts.

Even if you start out with creating a new, empty slide template – you need to build a foundation to facilitate an easy combination of facts and story (do you have templates that are suitable for creating a visual story?).

So, regardless of where in the presentation landscape you are – you need to have the right presentitude; to attract both hearts and brains and combine story with facts.
