If you’ve ever made a PowerPoint, you’ll know new slide ideas can be a struggle. Finding fresh inspiration for Word docs people actually want to read can be tricky too, especially when you’re drowning in data and deadlines. Most times, it’s a race against the clock to create that compelling presentation or newsletter, and while you may have plenty to say–and the software to say it with–you know that’s just the start. You want to engage your audience, get your message across, and make your work matter. But finding the right stats, facts, and quality quotes can be a tiring task, much like the search for relevant images.

In this first post we asked our rising star and Social Media Manager, Jullietta Stoencheva, to give us her take on the Power of Pictures using Pickit.
Millions of individual, freedom-seeking travelers are drawn to the wild north each year. As founder and ‘Chief Adventourist’ of the Jönköping-Stockholm bound startup Nordic Adventours, Moritz Witter and his team develop an online platform to gather and promote the adventure and wildlife activities waiting to be discovered in the nordic countries. From the start the vision was set towards allowing adventurous travelers to individually plan their trips in Sweden and the rest of the Nordics with the highest degree of simplicity and yet without losing the Nordic feel of freedom and independence.

"It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary." - David Bailey
