Pitch

Some agencies treat decks as a formality. Merlin sees them as part of the product. Merlin is a “code boutique”, working with creative agencies to turn big ideas into impressive web experiences for clients like Dior, Coca-Cola, and Inter Milan. Their web experiences are bold, motion-heavy, and immersive, so their presentations have to hit the same standard. No generic creds. No “one size fits all” slides. Every deck is built for a specific brand, with rich video, strong type, and only as much text as necessary. That's where Pitch comes in: → A fast, video-first canvas to handle motion and reels with ease → Templates and variables that keep each deck bespoke while still on brand → Live links, comments, and analytics that turn every presentation into a dynamic asset As founder Mees Rutten puts it, “When the story and the visuals are in sync, it sells the whole package. If the story is strong and the slides aren’t, the slides get in the way.” If you care about decks that do your work justice, check out Merlin’s story for inspiration (and see their awesome cred decks!) 👉 https://lnkd.in/ewx4qJxE

Predictability isn’t always a good thing. If your prospect can guess your next slide, you’ve already lost their attention. Same opening line. Same safe bullets. Same “trusted by X customers” stamp. After sitting through more presentations than I can count, I’m confident saying: the same old, safe decks aren’t doing you any favors. The decks that get remembered and actually move the needle follow a different set of ideas: 👉 “Professional” means clear and consistent. It doesn’t have to be stiff or forgettable. 👉 Prospects don’t need another corporate origin story. They need clarity, relevance, and a reason to stay in the conversation. 👉 Data builds trust, stories move emotion, and design holds it all together. Get that mix right, and deals move forward faster. These principles matter even more as teams use AI. Speed is great. But quality, clarity, and alignment can’t slip. That’s why Pitch focuses on AI that helps teams improve their decks while staying on brand, not just churn out slides faster. Excited to continue rolling out AI features that empower better, bolder presentations throughout the year!

Most deals are won or lost after the meeting. Your champion leaves the call, then has to “re-present” your offer with a messy email and three attachments. Context gets lost. Momentum drops. That’s the gap pitch rooms helps you close. At Wehype, rooms act as digital hubs shared via a single link, where clients can: → Move through the story in clear, logical chapters → Explore embedded demos on their own time (and share them internally) → Dive deeper into the details when they’re ready This lets the team keep live presentations focused on the essentials, while clients get everything they need in one place. Complex offers feel simple, and conversations keep moving between calls. Read their full story 👉 https://lnkd.in/esgcjtam

People don’t want to imagine your idea. They want to see it 🍩✨ That’s why we built AI image generation directly into Pitch. Whether you’re visualizing something familiar in an unexpected way, or turning an abstract concept into something concrete, you can now generate custom images right on your slides. No stock photo searches, no mood board gymnastics. When the visual clicks, the idea lands faster… and the room follows.

This year, Pitch changed more than your slides. It changed your entire presentation workflow. In 2025, teams started to: → Use 25+ AI actions to clean up copy, sharpen visuals, and stay on brand without extra tools. → Share work in polished pitch rooms with client-branded colors, embedded files, and zero download chaos. → Co-present live without the “next slide, please” awkwardness. → Batch-create decks in minutes — tailored for each prospect, account, or partner.

Great decks are not guesswork. They're psychology applied on slides. Oren John breaks down how he builds decks that actually persuade. He explores: → Weber’s cognitive fluency: Why your slides should be easy to process at a glance (and not be packed with text). → Hook theory: How to open and close so people remember the right things. → Bartlett’s schema theory: Why you should frame ideas around what your audience already understands. → How he turns all of that into a clear, on-brand flow inside Pitch. If your deck is doing a lot of talking but not a lot of convincing, this will give you a different way to think about structure, design, and story.

Your brand isn’t just about how you look. It’s the multiplier on everything you ship. Get it right, and every deck, campaign, and conversation hits harder. Get it wrong, and even great ideas feel forgettable. One person who’s proving the value of brand is Cat G (aka CatGPT). In this clip, Cat talks about staying relentlessly on brand and why consistency is actually how you establish yourself in the market. We see the same thing every day: When teams keep their decks, visuals, and voice aligned, results compound. Slide by slide. Pitch by pitch.
