Whether you feel like a presentation pro or you get the shakes when it’s your turn to step up for a monthly report, delivering a deck remotely is often a different animal altogether to live presenting. No more relying on stage presence, charisma, persuasive body language or your ability to work a room. And if you're more of a butterflies-on-steroids presenter, you probably think this is your ticket out; “Finally, I don’t need to bother with all that empty rhetoric stuff and can get straight to business.” 

Not so fast!  

Needless to say, we are living in unprecedented times. As we write these words, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is bringing entire countries across the globe to its knees, both from a health perspective as well as on a financial level.

As the world navigates unchartered waters and many businesses transition to an increasingly digital workspace, we're working hard to keep improving the Pickit platform and enhance the experience for everyone working with images online. This month, we’ve got a really exciting update for you: the release of one of the top requested features to help marketing and brand managers get better control of their visual assets.

Are you part of a growing company? Are your employees finding themselves in increasingly large departments in need of new workflows and a new set of tools?

One tool worth considering is a Digital Asset Management system–a platform that can be particularly helpful if you're in a complex organization or large corporation by enabling you simplify the way you work and help both your company and employees hit goals and work effectively. 

Well, if you have a company logo and at least one colleague who sometimes need to use it, technically you’re already practicing some form of digital asset management. The question is whether you’re doing it well or not.

Being the #1 app in the Office Store worldwide means we have users from all over the globe, and we’re happy to see a growing international community of people using Pickit to stay compliant, on brand and make better presentations.

Many have been asking to use the service in your local languages, so today we’re taking the first step towards making that possible, releasing support for two of our largest non-English speaking user groups: Germany and Sweden.

Do you feel that with every year your margins are smaller or your targets become harder? Or even that your best efforts no longer have the same results? Don’t worry, you’re part of an ever-growing club of people who feel the same, but there are solutions to be found.

If you're anything like most brand and marketing managers, you probably get accused of being a bit of a control freak from time to time. You're constantly encouraging (read: nagging) people to use compliant, branded templates and images, and you might even be guilty of waving that beloved brand manual of yours around at team meetings reminding people to read it regularly and follow the party (company) line at all times. 

It’s said that around 35 million PowerPoints are created every single day. My guess is that at least a couple of those are at your organization. The question isn’t whether the presentation as a communication tool is still going strong or whether people are still using PowerPoint. The questions is: Are the decks any good?
