Generally, hiring an agency for your pitch deck is more reliable and for the quality, a better deal. Freelance pitch deck exerts are a good option if your pitch deck budget is highly constrained, but once you go above a quality threshold, some larger agencies have some economies of scale that can be passed onto your company. They also have a bigger reputation and work to provide more consistent quality and customer service.
The best way to find a pitch deck designer for you is to review their portfolio and discuss their experience doing what you need the deck for. If this is for investment, you would want to find a designer which has experience specifically for the purpose of your raise, be it Seed Funding or Series A funding, for instance.
Depending on the firm or agency, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for a final deck. If you are working on custom branding with the deck it will take longer, whereas if you are basing everything on a pitch deck template it will be shorter. On average, it takes 1 – 2 weeks for most firms to provide a turnaround for a draft.
The biggest thing is hiring a firm or individual who has direct experience in preparing investment decks to raise capital. An investor pitch deck is very unique and typically the best in the industry focuses exclusively on preparing investment materials. Some have a good background in brand identity or corporate presentations, but investors are a very unique audience and must be understood. Moreover, how your company is reflected in the deck such that it captures your brand identity.
This is a personal decision, but generally, investors who see investment decks all day typically can recognize a template and when something is custom. It is suggested to avoid using a template for design, but there are many good deck frameworks to use like the Kawasaki ten slide model or the Sequoia pitch deck framework which are preferred by potential investors to quickly understand the key points of your start up or small business.
The cost of pitch deck design largely depends on the extent of what you are seeking. Prices for a high-end agency that specializes in pitch decks typically range from $100 + per slide. Some high-end pitch deck agencies can also help you raise money by introducing you to a potential investor or assisting with branding. A mid-tier agency costs anywhere from $50 – 100 per slide and likely provides other services beyond slide deck design. Anything less than $50 is typically using pitch deck templates or google slides that are simpler and while a good option, one should manage his/her expectations.
